i was alerted to this video by a couple of my photographer friends…
this is AMAZING to me…number one, the raw openness of his feelings…the clarity of his explanation of frustration that i think all of us have felt at one time or another, and then lastly…the exploration of life
so very inspiring…

a friend let me know of this video on youtube about an incredible autistic boy from new york…
to say it brought me to tears, would be an understatement. i taught special needs for 11 years, and while it was tough, the moments like the one on youtube made it all worth it. i never had a student perform quite to this level, but the small victories felt just as sweet.

ahhh, usually i try to find a little visual inspiration to start my week, and i share that with you…
do you remember the definition of opus magnum?
opus magnum: is simply “a great work” rather than “the great work” of someone specific. A masterpiece may be small, short or slight, but still highly successful. An opus magnum may be generally regarded as a failure.
well today’s inspiration is that i have FINALLY gotten the old studio cleaned out and moved to the new studio! (not the atrium-that will have to wait for the spring thaw). i have hired a couple of guys to help me move the rest of my personal things out of the old house, and i will be DONE.
whether i view this as a failure, and in some ways it was, or a success, which it also was, seems to go with the moment…but for now, i will consider it to be success! i will follow it up with a picture tonite if i get time.
have a great and successful monday all–feel free to share back YOUR opus magnum moments!
