Macchiato's technicolor cousin by the talented Melissa Ecker

The new men's bathroom at the Sofitel in Queenstown, NZ has life size photos of models above the urinals monitoring the manhood of the guests.

Another beauty of a poem by my friend Maya Stein:

Tulips

How much, some days, you just want to bury your head
under the duvet, that great billowy cloud
of total, beautiful anonymity. Imagining
you could take breakfast there, and the pile of mail to go through,
your backlog of magazines.

Inches away, on their last morning, the tulips
are waking up to the very edge of themselves,
unwrapping their petals shamelessly against the sun,
bending toward the light in great, voluptuous bursts
of orange.

I've decided that everyone has some sort of talent, even if you're like me and haven't discovered it yet. I always love the creativity you bring to your website, and so does everyone that reads it!! The poem is perfect, and I just adore all of your photos!!

Gorgeous hair! I love it when hair looks like a work of art.

Somehow I don't believe that my frizzy fro has the capability to ever look that smooth and molded to perfection! :)

Andrea - your photos are getting more and more amazing! I know you're still using your Rebel, but are you now also using various lenses? This shot and your coffee shot from a few posts back are so full of detail!

Andrea

I really enjoy your photographs! I especially like the one of you running on the beach. How did you get the wonderful black border around it? I think that makes the image so beautiful. Just curious. Thanks

I went to my computer, needing to be re-charged. To be inspired to BE more, at this very moment...and knew to go right to you Andrea! {For my dose of inspiration, you are so dependable!} This poem is so beautiful and applicable for today...Thanks for the tweak.

I believe that Maya has two self-published books, non?

Dreamy photo.... Love it! Maya's poems are so fabulous. Does she have a collection out in print? Great post today. :)

Maya's poems consistently KNOCK ME OUT. She needs to publish them...
