We kicked off this long weekend with an amazing wedding at @thefarmatdover. Sean + Karen created an absolutely perfect day that truly felt like an extension of them. Now it’s time for us to kick back and enjoy some family time to celebrate our nephew turning 3!! 🎂
A second world emerges when it rains. It gathers on low ground, a furled leaf, and a cupped hand. Our sky shows on its surface; our trees show as roots. “We want the day we had, not one people would want to see.” As filmmakers, these two form stories and worlds they want to see. As humans, they choose to love the stories that happen. I can’t wait to shoot their wedding tomorrow!
Always enjoy the time you get to spend with those you love. Now go party, it’s the weekend!
You stare at a screen for so long that you nearly don’t realize how necessary it is to gain new perspective. Ten paces away, up three stairs, I take respite from my 8x8 cubicle. A wooden platform rises near what used to be the leaded glass windows of a dry goods warehouse near the bend in one of Milwaukee’s three rivers. I tap on the windows. Plastic. At least you can see through them. Each pane frames different views of one scene, but I still try to pick my favorite.
You try to not forget. You take note, the light blanketing you softly, the shadowy play on the edges of your shoulder and legs. The scent radiating from the crock pot chicken, 4 hours in, cumin and pepper perfume hanging from each molecule. And the touch of your hand. It’s warmer than I thought it should be. But you don’t seem to mind. You asked for my attention, and I asked you a question.
The weight of it all fell formed as a tear on her cheek. It paused, surveying its journey from bone to ground, glucose one foot and sodium the other. Like its bearer's will, sure of her heart and confident in her hand, one unsure step leads to certainty in stride. It's important to feel and it's okay to not understand. I need to admit that more, and with tears running down my face at the end of each Pixar movie I watch, I'm learning to be okay not understanding each tear's origin. They fall, and we should let them.
