Zachary Update (The Aquarium)

Somtimes the simplest things in the world can make a day worth it. Last week I went with my cousin and Zachary to the Mystic Aquarium. I thought, "sure thats sounds good, Ill take my camera". I had a real great time with the fish and what not, but what was more fun was watching Zachary and Brenda's ineraction with all the new things in his life. Sea Lions, stingrays, and penguins (which were his favorite!). When I looked at the photos I noticed more then the amazement in his eyes at everything brought in front of him. He was so alert, so fresh. I thought to myself that sometimes we as adults are missing out on the simple things. Life doesn't really have to get all that complex. We create that complexity, which means we can also create that simplicity. Maybe a well needed walk in the woods or on a beach, to take it all in and resort back to the simplistic beauty that has been put in front of us. Or maybe its as easy as watching somebody like Zachary at the aquarium....

Boonville USA

From the movers and shakers of Serge Nivelle Studios in NYC, I bring you Boonville USA.
Ok so a little bit more down to earth. My old assistant in NY embarked on an interesting journey. He is now traveling around the country documenting all the towns in the US named Boonville. There is :

Boonville, Missouri Population 8,202
Boonville, Indiana Population 6,834
Boonville, New York Population 2,138
Boonville, N. Carolina Population 1,138
Boonville, California Population 600-800
Boonville, Texas Population 0

He continues to raise money for the project and has made quite a stir since he departure, making front page of several local newpapers, sleeping in the park when he couldn't find a foster home, and making a distinct "Tim Briner" impression everywhere he goes (for those of you that know him ,thats not hard). All the details are on his blog.
I highly recommend taking a look at the blog, as his stories are informative and funny, and his photos that he has posted are telling.
I missed the going away party, but have remained good contact with him while he's been on the road and I can tell you he's going a little stir crazy. He could use a good support system. SO check him out.
Otherwise have a great day! Im finally back to work after being stuck in bed for about three days! Whew!
