FAVORITE THINGS

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

So I am going to start a new blog segment about my favorite things. Each post will be about a different topic, like books, furniture, make-up, jewelry, or heck, even places! So here is my first installment in what will be a long term blog feature.

Books:
Being a blogger, artist, photographer, creative type, I am in constant need of inspiration. In a time of internet and magazines you would assume one would have an overload of inspiration, which is true, but sometimes I just need to sit down with a good book, filled with great visuals. These are a few of my favorite things.  All of these books revolve heavily around design, art, and architecture. If I ever am looking to revamp a room or feel like creating a piece of art, these books never fail to give me a creative burst.

What are your favorite books for inspiration?

ARCH.

Photography is my jam. Here are just a few shots of mine from the GRAM.  I have been really inspired by the architectural photography of Julius Shulman. Watch the film if you get a chance he is such an interesting fellow and the views he has of all the great mid century modern marvels is really a unique one.

My Wanderin' Days

I have been MIA from the blogosphere lately, well I have been here, just a silent observer. I have in that time have developed a new addiction; Instagram. I walk most days to work, about two miles. I usually have my iPod touch handy and ready to take a snap of all the great sites in Grand Rapids. So here is an update of some of the shit I see on my lovely morning walks.

I intend on revamping everything as the days go by!
