We don't always remember the material things people buy us but when people take the time and effort to express their thanks to you for being their friend, it lasts a life time. Your pic of Skillz airbrushed poster is a perfect example of this. It just proves its not about the money people spend but the ways they show you they love and appreciate you. Happy birthday to all the fellow Scorpios! I know i had a great one and was spoiled by my friends, i just hope all of you are as fortunate as me. Happy birthday Sean :) xoxo There is nothing more special to receive on your birthday than something someone has put a lot of time and effort into.

That was a great moment. I got to witness my good friend on his 30th birthday and today I get to celebrate mine. I love your quote also. We do not remember days… We remember moments… Thank you.

]]> Comment on Pixels by Sara http://rankinimages.wordpress.com/2009/10/21/pixels/#comment-302 Sara Wed, 28 Oct 2009 05:30:55 +0000 http://rankinimages.wordpress.com/2009/10/21/pixels/#comment-302 As a crafts person, I am fascinated with how individual elements combine to form shapes and patterns. In needlepoint and cross stitch, the building block is a single stitch. Pieces of fabric are joined together to form quilts. The interplay of warp and woof weaves designs into baskets, rugs, and fabrics. Whatever the process, the parts become a whole, both in the creating and in the viewing. The late artist Richard C. Elliott recognized universality in the composition of geometric designs. On his website he explained, "These designs, echoing the patterns within us, have connected people to the living fabric of life since the dawn of time." While Mr. Elliott explored a variety of media, perhaps the most dramatic and original involved his use of industrial grade reflectors as units of color and light. His creations range from personal expressions at the Ellensburg home he shared with his wife Jane to public installations at the Seattle airport and on the roof of Yakima's Sundome. A special exhibition, INTO THE INFINITE; THE ART OF RICHARD C. ELLIOTT, is currently on display at the the Yakima Valley Museum. The Random House Dictionary of the English Language defines pixel as ...the smallest element of an image that can be individually processed in a video display system." At their most elemental, do ancient designs and artistic expressions through the ages somehow intersect with modern multimedia technology? Perhaps, Richard Elliott was on to something.

They are something that we use every day and don't think twice about them or what it was like before they were there. How did people get around? Were there even people in these areas? Roadways are essential to everyday life nowadays but what have we destroyed with development to get to this point? There are so many natural wonders that we can't get back. Not only are we taking animals homes and detroying natural flora by demolishing nature but we are also adding to climate change with the fumes from our cars, trucks and bikes that use these roadways. Progress is natural to us but is it fair to nature? Roadways are something we take for granted.

Robert Frost's poem The Road Not Taken comes to mind. Perhaps, at times we all need to seek "the one less traveled by..."
