Tonight has been a great night for me, as I love to indulge in the Oscar night festivities. I adore the craft of film and look forward to seeing those who excel in this craft being awarded for their accomplishments. It's a night of glamour and poise, without avail. But what amazes me is the sheer vastness of taste that comes with it. I have and will continue to live blog/tweet/update on the matter. Congrats to all that have picked up a golden statue this wonderful evening and in honor, I had a couple of glasses of champagne to celebrate!
Today's photo was found on the cork of a lovely bottle of champagne I opened for the Oscars. I have to say, it was quite unexpected to find, but VERY welcome!
3/7/10 Oscar Night. A Champagne Occasion.
3/6/10 Potty Mouth? :-0
Today was an interesting day. Through an osmosis of sorts, I was forced to have a day of solitude. I walked the city of New York intensely and found many of beautiful little secrets in terms of street art. It was an amazing experience to travel and search by my lonesome. To really indulge in the city's intricacies. I wouldn't trade this lovely weathered day for the world. Thank you, mother nature!
Today's photo was found in a Starbuck's restroom in NYC. Thanks hyper sensitive coffee restroom for this find!
3/5/10 Agggh! Deadlines!
Keeping it short, as I am still amongst some crazy deadlines.. This. Day. Is. CRAZY!
I do though, look forward to a nice NYC weekend with Temperatures in the 50's & Sunny. And tonight, I will experience Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland' in IMAX 3D!!
Today's photo was found in front of a lovely home in North Bergen, NJ. This decorative garage slot was an awesome find this morning and kicked off a high energy day!
3/4/10 Huh?
This week, my final week at my current job is proving to be quite a doozy. Meetings like crazy and lots to do. But hey, I like the busy nature of things and remain happy that it makes the days go by quickly. But after a long day, I remain very much out of it!
Today's photo was found courtesy of a Cigarette disposal contraption outside of a commercial building on 45th street in Midtown, NYC. Confused much, little guy?
3/3/10 What?? Birds Attack!?
My new artistic endeavor I've decided to take on is attempting to take the every iconic Alfred Hitchcock films and recreating the film posters in a more contemporary style. This is definitely an undertaking in itself, but my first stab at it has seemingly been well received. I took the film, "The Birds" and looked at it from fresh eyes. I wanted to take this film and really capture it in a new style but maintain the sense of feeling. It's such an intense film with a lot of horror centric heart behind it and I felt it could easily translate graphically into a new vision.
The final product for the re-envisioning of "The Birds" can be found at: lazmarquez.com
Today's photo was found outside of my window, in my apartment in North Bergen, NJ. No bird watching was done this evening. Luckily?
3/2/10 Shockingly Happy! :-O
One thing that's been buzzing through my mind continuously for the past few days is how amazingly this year has been chugging along. I feel as though 2009 was a really difficult year for many people and that this year is shaping up to be much the opposite. People seem happier. Goals seem to be fulfilled. Jobs are being found.
Personally, I came into this year with an incredible drive. I knew that I wanted this year to count. I wanted to push my boundaries. I wanted to make a change. One examples is starting this blog. I knew that I had to start something that inspired me, and I needed to stick with it as a promise to myself. With all intents & purposes, it's happened and I couldn't be happier. It's been amazing to hear people tell me how it's inspired them to look at the world differently and find their own "FACE IT"'s.
It won't stop here, as I intend to continue on this track! Thank you to everyone who has been supportive and followed this journey!
Today's photo was found on my road from New Jersey to New York City on the NJ TRANSIT Bus. I'm having a transit inspiration week thus far. Chugging Along!
3/1/10 Rough Day In A Good Way.
There are some things in this life that lead us to our next steps in personal evolution. Circumstances that thrust us into a new phase of who we will eventually become. After making this decision to go forth and get closer to this goal, I find it sad to let go. But one thing I am certain of, is that it's ultimately necessary.
Today's photo was found courtesy of the fantastic nuts & bolts of a NJ Transit Bus. Moving Right Along!
