Sorry for not posting recently. Been pretty busy.

One of my favorite artists, Robert Rauschenberg, died this past Monday. Came across a quote of his...

"The artist’s job is to be a witness to his time in history."

I dig that.

Quote 03.29.08

We were up in Cape Cod, MA over Easter. I look this picture at low tide on Skaket Beach and it reminded me of a quote by Byron.

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more.

~ Lord Byron, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage

With all that's going on in our lives, my wife and I are considering the long talked about move out of NYC. The Cape is very high if not on the top of our list.

"On the occasion of every accident that befalls you, remember to turn to yourself and inquire what power you have for turning it to use."
