    I fiercely love me some graffiti.

    I went to Paris years ago and all I took pictures of was Parisian graffiti. I couldn't help it.

    Inspiration & Beauty -- underlying forces -- are far from useless. Plus the beauty of the peacock gets him laid. FAR FROM USELESS.

    thanks for the reminder! And I love that you go around photographing graffiti too...I always do, and then I imagine the secret act of creating it, in dusky shadows, on the lookout. I've never met a graffiti artist. Have you?

    Love the quote. Great talking to you and Ward last night. Here's a fav quote of mine that could sit, side by side, with that grafitti photo:

    "Ah, good taste! What a dreadful thing! Taste is the enemy of creativeness."
    -Picasso

    Andrea...great blog, I thoroughly enjoyed my browse through it tonight. You're a wonderful writer and the pictures and stories you share are lovely. (Loved your kids halloween photos) I suspect that I will be returning regularly.

    with that, I feel I should leave a quote but only have this one handy at the moment...

    "Why is it that the winner of the Miss Universe contest always comes from Earth?" -Rich Hall
