How is your weekend coming along? Southern Cal has gotten a bit of rain and I'm loving it. Wait, I think I just stole that from McD's. Yesterday we dropped by the Brewery Artwalk in downtown Los Angeles and it was quite a lovely visit. The place is more like a colony of artists living in their lofts, where once a year they open up their doors to invite people in to view their artwork and workspace and such. The place itself was interesting enough since a good few blocks of buildings were converted into lofts and artist's studios. It was a good turn-out indeed. Three hours in and we barely gotten to see half of everything there.
Was it inspiring? Most certainly. Half way through the walk I started somewhat pondering about my own existence, my own cause... Seeing these young artists reminded me of myself when I was younger, attending art school... Now here they wait for their dreams to happen, to be discovered as an artist, or something... To be Somebody that makes a difference or maybe just to make a living, both with something that they feel passionate about. Waiting...... But aren't we all waiting... waiting for something? As if waiting was some sort of a destination. Through the doorway. Some will get there. Some will not.
Hope you're having a fantastic Sunday!! xoxo

An interesting shot of that door with the skull and crossbones. We're thinking of doing the same thing downtown, creating artists' lofts. We're about 75% of the way there. It's a way to get the vacant upper floors occupied and bringing in a lot of activity. Except we're trying to make this work without requiring them to install costly elevators to meet ADA requirements. Thanks for sharing!

i like the picture
sometime waiting is good - who'd want to miss out on anticipation? but i can't help thinking waiting can make one miss out on living...
