Today’s weather was a nice reminder that spring will be here soon. I’d like to say I did something outdoors and enjoyed the warmth but instead I stayed in my pjs all day and watched The Office. 🙃 The one thing I did that has been of any merit this weekend is garden planning. This year’s garden should be the best yet, the soil is so fertile and some of the early perennials are already starting to come in. 🌱

Check out my story for the full image sans the Instagram crop! @tsundere606 is a wonderful model and pulled off the @getmurqd vision so well. Big thanks to @nicolemoan for lending us this gorgeous ceramic corset and kudos to @getmurqd for kicking ass on the avant garde hair and makeup look.

This past weekend’s shoot was a dream! 🤩✨🌟Amazing industrial building converted into a photo studio, killer model and HMUA and a one of a kind hand made wardrobe by a super talented lady! That corset is hand crafted and made from ceramic! How cool is that?! Make sure to give this kick as team of creatives a follow!

Aren’t his eyes cool? They have so much depth, like a fancy glass paper weight with gold and green inlays. @highlander_the_magnificent

Whoever declared that love at first sight doesn’t exist has never witnessed the purity of a puppy or looked deep into a puppy’s eyes. If they did, their lives would change considerably.

Oh Millie, you absolutely stole my heart yesterday ❤️ I photographed this little angel and her mom at Triangle Park in front of the giant Christmas tree 🎄 and it was such a heartwarming experience. Millie was recently adopted from @lexingtonhumane and she would like to remind everyone considering a new doggy addition to their family, to adopt and don’t shop. #adoptdontshop

This was a place for my graveyard photography but with fewer trips to the cemetery lately I’ve decided to make this a place for my darker work overall.🌚

And we are magic talking to itself,

Every man is more than just himself; he also represents the unique, the very special and always significant and remarkable point at which the world's phenomena intersect, only once in this way, and never again. That is why every man's story is important, eternal, sacred; that is why every man, as long as he lives and fulfills the will of nature, is wondrous, and worthy of consideration. In each individual the spirit has become flesh, in each man the creation suffers, within each one a redeemer is nailed to the cross.
-Hermann Hesse , Demian. Die Geschichte von Emil Sinclairs Jugend

There is no reality except the one contained within us. That is why so many people live such an unreal life. They take the images outside of them for reality and never allow the world within to assert itself.
-Hermann Hesse, Steppenwolf

Solitude is independence. It had been my wish and with the years I had attained it. It was cold. Oh, cold enough! But it was also still, wonderfully still and vast like the cold stillness of space in which the stars revolve.
-Hermann Hesse, Steppenwolf

There's an expression, deja vu, that means that you feel like you've been somewhere before, that you've somehow already dreamed it or experienced it in your mind.

It's just harder out there in the world of the living, and we cannot protect you out there as easily. I wanted to keep you perfectly safe...But there is only one perfectly safe place for your kind, and you will not reach it until all your adventures are over and none of them matter any longer.

Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room
Bobby hung himself from a cell in The Tombs
Judy jumped in front of a subway train
Eddie got slit in the jugular vein
And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others
And I salute you brother
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died

Be hole, be dust, be dream, be wind/Be night, be dark, be wish, be mind,/Now slip, now slide, now move unseen,/Above, beneath, betwixt, between.
