Rest Your Eyes - Laura Gibson

Laura and I got to see Laura Gibson when she opened for Damien Jurado a few months back. Her music is simply fantastic.

Today, sit back and enjoy some music that will make you wish it was raining (if it already isn't).

Inspiration: Billy Collins

Forgetfulness - Billy Collins Animated Poetry from smjwt on Vimeo.



On Tuesday of this week, Laura and I spent the afternoon listening to vinyls, and reading the poetry of Billy Collins.

Corny? Absolutely. Yet still awesome.

I only own one collection of Poems by Billy Collins, and it's this one:



My favorite Poem from this collections is called:

On Turning Ten

The whole idea of it makes me feel
like I'm coming down with something,
something worse than any stomach ache
or the headaches I get from reading in bad light--
a kind of measles of the spirit,
a mumps of the psyche,
a disfiguring chicken pox of the soul.

You tell me it is too early to be looking back,
but that is because you have forgotten
the perfect simplicity of being one
and the beautiful complexity introduced by two.
But I can lie on my bed and remember every digit.
At four I was an Arabian wizard.
I could make myself invisible
by drinking a glass of milk a certain way.
At seven I was a soldier, at nine a prince.

But now I am mostly at the window
watching the late afternoon light.
Back then it never fell so solemnly
against the side of my tree house,
and my bicycle never leaned against the garage
as it does today,
all the dark blue speed drained out of it.

This is the beginning of sadness, I say to myself,
as I walk through the universe in my sneakers.
It is time to say good-bye to my imaginary friends,
time to turn the first big number.

It seems only yesterday I used to believe
there was nothing under my skin but light.
If you cut me I could shine.
But now when I fall upon the sidewalks of life,
I skin my knees. I bleed.


Make sure to watch the video at the top. So amazing.

Peace. - Caleb

Long, Awesome, Weekend

02.19-21.09

The Weekend was spent with meetings and hanging with some wonderful people.

Thursday, Laura and I headed for Charleston, SC, for my meeting with Garden & Gun. The meeting went wonderfully. We then ate and headed for Greenville, where I had another meeting with G Magazine, which also went very well. After that meeting, we drove to the home of Chris and Annie Koelle, two of the most talented people I know! Both are incredible artist and people, and it was an absolute joy to get to know them more. Oh, and their son is just plan cute.

Marshall Koelle

Saturday was spent in the park, napping, and driving to Fletcher, NC, where Chris and Annie had an art show opening. Great stuff.

Here's a group shot of all of us at the show, featuring Brannon McAllister (designer of NoiseTrade) and his wife of 1 week, Melissa McAlliser.

Let to Right: Melissa McAllister, Brannon McAlliser, Laura Vandal, Me, Chris Koelle, Annie Koelle, & Marshall Koelle

Then, Laura and I drove home through the night.

The next day, we had a show at SecondRow featuring the music of Neil Couvillion and David Berkeley. Such an amazing intimate show.

David Berkeley

Pics from that, on a later post.

Long, awesome, weekend.

Paw Paw



A couple of weeks ago I had the dear pleasure of meeting Laura's PawPaw for the first time.





He is a classic man. Not only is he a kickn photographer, he also plays the violin (which makes him double cool)





One Sentence Story: As we searching for a whiskey glass to put his whiskey in, he said "I'll drink it out of anything that will hold it!"



See the whole gallery, HERE.

Note: In a few weeks I will be spending about 5 days with my own PaPa, documenting his day-to-day through pictures, audio, and 8mm....so, there's that.

Peace. - Caleb

Inanimate Object: Bench; Vacation; John Dolan



The last 4 days I've been in Dallas with Laura visiting friends.

I took all of my camera equipment, and didn't shoot a single frame....it was wonderful.

We just returned from the 9 hour drive home, and in 4 hours Bryan and I will be leaving for the great NYC to take a wedding photographer workshop with the also great John Dolan.

I'm very excited about this week.

We're taking some camera's and a laptop, so we should both be updating our blogs while there.

Peace. - Caleb
