Wrapped - Day 1
Finished Day 1 of the fashion photo shoot for Jenny Dayco Designs Spring 2012 collection. I wasn’t shooting this time, though. I was modeling and it was so much fun! Bunch of creative friends getting together in the mountains wearing awesome gear? I cant wait to see the shots.
Marilyn Nakazato, the photographer was brilliant, and Tashina Hunter’s designs gave the whole shoot this ethereal, Midsummer’s Night Dream feel. I swear the test shots were like an allegory.
Can’t wait to share the shots with you guys. Everything since I’ve been back in L.A. has been so L.A.… and I’m actually enjoying it.

“If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel— as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them— wherever you go.”

“We’ve got the vision, now let’s have some fun.”
—MGMT, “Time to Pretend”
“All your educational systems and all your cultural beliefs, force you to be ambitious, to be somebody. But to be somebody means creating anxieties in a silent pool, ripples and waves. The greater the ambition, the more tidal is the wave of anxiety. You can become almost insane desiring. Trying to be somebody, you are trying the impossible, because basically you are nobody. Zen has an absolutely unique perception into the nothingness of everyone. It does not teach you any ambition, it does not teach you to be someone else. It simply wants you to know that in the deepest part of your being you are still nothing, you are still carrying the original purity which is not even contaminated by an idea of “I.”

“Those who flow as life flows know they need no other force.”

“Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don’t have to like it… it’s just easier if you do”
—Byron Katie (via heartmindspirit)
“Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.”
