I was listening to my daughter rip on the piano, when I thought I heard her drift out of the key she was playing in. I said "Hannah, those notes don't fit in that key".
She looked at me like I was a moron (which I was) and replied....
       
                 "It's music, you can do anything you want".

I have tried to employ this in my art.

So true on both accounts and remind her of her own quote when she forgets it.

Every time someone tells me how sharp my photos are, I assume that it isn't a very interesting photograph.  If it were, they would have more to say.

One photo out of focus is a mistake, ten photos out of focus are an experimentation, one hundred photos out of focus are a style.

I had found out first hand that Elite frowns apon people being late, quite possibly more than they do cold blooded murder.

An observation by me, well...when I found out that Elite is probably put off by people being late more than they're put off by murder. I might test this theory by arranging a go-see, and showing up on time w/ fake blood splashed on my shirt and face.
