I adore the period in our cultural and creative history cultivated between the 1880s and the 1950s, particularly the Aesthetic movement, Arts and Crafts movement, Art Nouveau movement, and early Art Deco movement. I have a deep appreciation for the arts, design styles, architecture, fashion, music and all creative modalities that emerged within this magical segment in time. I love to write, dance, paint, and embrace the creative process in general. This blog is my attempt at merging my chosen forms of self expression with the beauty of the present moment, and the beauty of the past. All work is written or created by me unless cited as otherwise, and protected under copyright law. Bon voyage et bonne chance!

Perspective


A 104 (now 110) year old film clip captured by a camera mounted on the front of a Market Street cable car, shot just four days before the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. A remarkable and amazing 9 minute glimpse into big city life at the turn of the 20th century. About 5 minutes into it there is a man galloping down the street on a white horse. What I would not give to trade in my car for a horse as a viable means of transportation. And look how thin and active everyone is. Wow. Just an observation.
