As an artist I’m always looking for things that inspire me and get me excited to pick up the camera.  I love looking at all kinds of art, from other photographers, to sculpture and paintings.   I recently came across Rodney Smiths work, and was absolutely floored!  L.O.V.E.D it!  His work is so classic and clean.  They’re just timeless in every sense of the word.  And it’s so HARD to do anything ‘timeless’.  We talked about how to make architecture timeless all the time when I was working for a firm.  How and what makes something timeless?  Does it need to still look fabulous in 50 or 1000 years from now before it’s ‘timeless.’  Or is it something else, that even something brand new can possess?  I personally am not big on tends.  Especially when it comes to my photography.  I still laugh when I see my parents wedding photos.  Now it could be the brown 70′s tux.  But I want my clients to look at their photos 50 years from now and feel like nothing has changed.  All they see is the love they have for each other and how much fun they had the day they got married.  Anyway I totally got off track.  I’m always on the look out for inspiration that’s ‘timeless’  in whatever that means.  And Rodney Smith totally nailed it on the head in my opinion.  

Inspiration is all around us, we just need to stop and smell the roses.  

Cheers fabulous people!

ps.  I totally LOVE hats.
