One of my favorite quotes to paraphrase is Isaac Newton’s one about "standing on the shoulders of giants…And if I have seen further it’s because…”.<br /><br />Checking in with this idea is very much a part of my daily life. But, I gather as much inspiration and motivation from my daily life, my immediate environment, & the people around me as I do from looking backwards or forwards. The instance of my own connection happens only by being absolutely present & engaged. It unfolds & reveals itself moment to moment…there is no great mystery here, it’s just the nature of work & being creative.<br /><br /><a href="http://youhavebeenheresometime.blogspot.com/2011/12/conversation-with-josh-vogel.html"><span style="color:#333333;"><i>read full interview with Josh Vogel here. </i></span></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7127/7870004796_d28802112f_b.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="904" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7127/7870004796_d28802112f_b.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" width="700" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8303/7870155386_220708d62f_b.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="912" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8303/7870155386_220708d62f_b.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" width="700" /></a><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8299/7870004024_213c1b1bbe_b.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="965" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8299/7870004024_213c1b1bbe_b.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" width="700" /></a></div><br /><div align="center"><br /><i>Sculptures by <a href="http://www.blackashbaskets.com/">Jonathan Kline,</a><br />Blackash Baskets, Trumansburg, NY </i><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7124/7870156080_51ba10c6cd_b.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="837" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7124/7870156080_51ba10c6cd_b.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" width="703" /></a></div><br /><br /><i>Stools by</i><a href="http://www.sawkille.com/#/about/"> Sawkille, Catskills NY</a><br /><br /><br /><div align="left"><a href="http://www.marchsf.com/"><i>go to MARCH here. </i></a><br /></div><br /></div><br />
