The Little Cracks

It's always nice to have an off day with no plans. It's a free day when you can go explore anywhere and see what new experiences and situations you can find. As you know we really enjoy looking around and investigating old buildings ... with all their cracks, character, and accidental beauty. One particular spot we stop at pretty consistently is Urban Ore in Berkeley. A pickers paradise of old building materials, books, electronics, etc ... it's always a good place to get inspiration and every once in a while ... find a cute vintage diamond in the rough.
While exploring the alleys we came across this simple and aged property. Seeing all the cracks and lines ... it reminded me of the sweater I was wearing. Having the lines in my sleeves pair with the imperfections of the doors and walls behind me. Hope you enjoy the inspiration ... ;)

When I was drawing in art school ... one topic I found so much fun and challenging was lines and shapes. I enjoyed learning how to combine repetitious lines and other forms ... creating symmetry and pattern into my art.
When I see graphical patterns or lines ... it reminds me how much I appreciate these designs and the flow they have. Thinking about each of the separate pieces and the form produced ... giving a different sense of movement to the piece when you wear it .... it also makes things so much more fun too ... ;)
Hope you enjoy the outfit ...

Mist creates such a mystery for me ... things seem to always become more peaceful and quiet ... slowing time. It's often chilling, but provides such beauty and comfort to the eyes making things so much more magical and inspiring for photographs. Moments and views change with the fog lines ... blocking the distance, allowing you to only imagine what it could be. Giving you a moment to paint pictures in your mind ... ;)
On our recent trip we wanted to be more spontaneous ... allowing us to take our time and adapt along the way. Taking turns down smaller local highways and country roads that we always miss today using the larger interstates.
Last weekend we ventured up Hwy 1 with no reservations of where we were going to stay for the night. Heading north we ended up at a wonderful spot camping by the fire in Manchester State Park ... eventually making it all the way to Fort Bragg with many stops along the way. Each time I adventure along the coast it makes me love it so much more ....
Hope you enjoy these inspirational photos ... ;)
