A New York Story ---

"On Broadway in Manhattan one quiet Sunday morning, an older man and I crossed paths. I was taking a photo of a diner window when he stopped to ask me why. Why would I be taking photos of things so ordinary ... so everyday instead of the great historic monuments around The City?
As I tried to humor the man while simultaneously resuming my photography, I smiled to myself. I have lived in Manhattan for over twenty years. In my experience, there is little that is "everyday" in New York City. Things change minute to minute ... transportation routes get switched around, buildings get leveled to be built anew, and so on.
So as I photograph what seems ordinary at the moment, I realize the familiar icons of the present may be the relics of tomorrow.
Thank you so much old man for stopping to chat."

Special Thanks to Noha for allowing me to share these photos with you!

Edgar Allan Poe Quotes on Etsy

A few of my personal favorite Poe quotes....

“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.”

“Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears. “

“I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.”

“I have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it.”

“I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat.”

“I would define, in brief, the poetry of words as the rhythmical creation of Beauty.”

“If you wish to forget anything on the spot, make a note that this thing is to be remembered. “

“The true genius shudders at incompleteness - and usually prefers silence to saying something which is not everything it should be.”

“There is an eloquence in true enthusiasm.”

And on Etsy....

  “Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore —
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visiter," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door —
Only this and nothing more” – The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe

I Love Michigan (with all my heart)

"Come back to me"

 -Elise McKenna in "Somewhere in Time"

Hello and good morning!  Anyone who knows me knows how much I love the beautiful state of Michigan.  How on earth did my family end up here?  Well to make a long story as short as possible...it goes like this- after WWII my grandpa (born in Missouri) went from being in The Navy to The Coast Guard and was stationed in the city of Sault Ste. Marie in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.  While stationed in Sault Ste. Marie he was asked to stand up as the best man in a wedding for one of his shipmates and he ended up falling for the bride's maid of honor...my beautiful grandma.  He swears that he knew the moment he met her that he would marry her someday. However it wasn't easy for him to get a date with her. She was a spunky and independent women who refused to go out with a "sailor".  After much persistence she agreed to go out just one time with my grandpa under a single condition- that he leave her alone for the rest of his life.  That date lasted over 50 years.  His career as an officer in The Coast Guard would take them all over the world.  Before my mom was even 5 years old she had traveled through 47 of the 50 states.  When the time came to put down some roots for the family my grandparents choose to come back to Michigan.  With my grandpa's military career they were well traveled and had actually spent more time as a married couple living in Hawaii than anywhere else. What is most beautiful to me about all of this is the fact that they could have lived anywhere but they choose Michigan.  They could have taken their 3 little children anywhere and though I have not been all the places they were...I still get it.  I live in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan as I have for most of my life and I'm happy to be here.

"I have a question for you, sir. Is time travel possible?"

 -Richard Collier in "Somewhere in Time"

Not For My Little Artists Under 21...

Great Hemingway quote, although please take this with a grain or a shaker of salt as I must note that Mr. Hemingway was a bit of a drunk who left this earth via suicide.  His tragic ending doesn't diminish his talent as a writer but should make you more cautious in taking any advice from him involving the juice.  Still I love this quote.

(Seriously though, don't write drunk, it never makes sense.)
