thought it was time to show some japan polaroids. have a good day!
Lisa,
This is such a beautiful, beautiful post. The polaroids really make your trip to Japan look like a dream of longing. I hope you get another chance to visit.
Sometimes vacations do more than just give us a rest from life's hectic pace. They can also give us perspective about what is important and what is trivial. I have made serious life/career changes after having been on vacation for which I am grateful many years later. Thanks for sharing some of your thoughts and the photos about this!
yes

those

I love your lists, I think it's good to make them (a sort of overview of where life is, and where it's heading). You inspire me to make one for myself...Best wishes for your upcoming shows, I'm sure your work will go down a success :) Have a wonderful weekend!
