Musings of a wandering creative… sometimes funny; most often awkward; perpetually inquisitive and inspired by anything, everything, and nothing all at once. I love art in all its glorious forms- painting, photographs, printmaking, music, writing, culture, fashion, etc. A bizarre combination of child, aspiring creative, 20-something, and mother/ grandmother; I’m always searching for something and constantly find there just aren’t enough hours a day.Tumblr (3.0; @laraweiss)http://laraweiss.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/2d0f7d7980572508f0792fc000d34490/tumblr_mmm7mvfsVl1r5wejqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://alessandramariaart.tumblr.com/post/50139698846/thin-lines-of-contact-2013-alessandra-maria-new" target="_blank">alessandramariaart</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>Thin Lines of Contact, 2013<br/>Alessandra Maria<br/><br/></em>New work!

target="_blank">Sarah Polley</a>, </strong>the director of the new documentary<strong> <em>Stories We Tell</em>, </strong>tells <strong>Terry Gross</strong> about including footage of retakes in the film:<strong><br/></strong></p> <blockquote> <p>I think that, for me, it was really important to not leave the construction of the film out because it’s a film about storytelling and how we tell stories and why we tell stories. I thought it was really important to include the process of making this film itself in the film and some of that involves some rather unflattering and ruthless moments for me like directing my dad when he’s … pouring his heart out, basically. And, you know, you do get into this mode, I think, when you’re telling a story — or certainly when you’re making a film — where you can kind of lose your sense or your barometer for what’s human or humane and certainly I think there are a few moments in the film where I’m directing my dad where I don’t come off that well, but I certainly come off as somebody who’s trying to tell a story above all else.</p> </blockquote> <p><em>Image courtesy of Roadside Attractions Publicity</em></p> </blockquote>http://laraweiss.tumblr.com/post/50652549831http://laraweiss.tumblr.com/post/50652549831Fri, 17 May 2013 10:17:31 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/76a33492fa1effab182a366d54edf8c8/tumblr_mmwe2nlmvZ1qz76r7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://umelabo.tumblr.com/post/50580898368/press-image-edit-476-jpg" target="_blank">umelabo</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://gjks.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/press_image_edit_476.jpg" target="_blank">press_image_edit_476.jpg</a></p> </blockquote>http://laraweiss.tumblr.com/post/50644925522http://laraweiss.tumblr.com/post/50644925522Fri, 17 May 2013 06:51:59 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/3a5a5489af769d02adf72f74a0a8725e/tumblr_mmwensx5nd1qzrqbao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://etsy.tumblr.com/post/50581511980/spiral-conch-shell-fine-art-photograph-by" target="_blank">etsy</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/60017951/spiral-conch-shell-5x5-fine-art?utm_source=Tumblr&utm_medium=Internal&utm_campaign=Merch" target="_blank">Spiral Conch Shell Fine Art Photograph by TriciaMcKellarPhoto</a>.</p> </blockquote>http://laraweiss.tumblr.com/post/50639591707http://laraweiss.tumblr.com/post/50639591707Fri, 17 May 2013 03:26:03 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/c2e41ce44f47f1fcd34fd8fc1e2d596b/tumblr_mmweo1ably1qz6f9yo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://thisisnthappiness.com/post/50581519038/lets-go" target="_blank">nevver</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.marcjohns.com/blog/2013/05/lets-go.html" target="_blank">Let’s go</a></p> </blockquote>http://laraweiss.tumblr.com/post/50615071013http://laraweiss.tumblr.com/post/50615071013Thu, 16 May 2013 20:34:33 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b21e42f16cd25a57e1b1c1ad1fb0bfbb/tumblr_mmweqjy7M71qzrqbao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://etsy.tumblr.com/post/50581591058/sacred-space-an-8x8-print-on-rgb-photographic" target="_blank">etsy</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/150337912/sacred-space-an-8x8-print-on-rgb?utm_source=Tumblr&utm_medium=Internal&utm_campaign=Merch" target="_blank">Sacred space: an 8x8 print on RGB photographic paper by Photomaginarium</a>.</p> </blockquote>http://laraweiss.tumblr.com/post/50600362463http://laraweiss.tumblr.com/post/50600362463Thu, 16 May 2013 17:08:55 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/6623e7366080c67f707358c89d1b75cb/tumblr_mmuxgiZ0CH1qz9v0to1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://supersonicelectronic.com/post/50581809320/fuco-ueda" target="_blank">supersonicelectronic</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p class="pan"><a href="http://supersonicelectronic.com/post/50581809320/fuco-ueda" title="Fuco Ueda -
