As with many projects, you start to brainstorm ideas, and let your imagination take the idea to usually unrealistic conclusions. As I met with the team from 002Houston Magazine about this project, the concept meeting started to become exactly this. But, with the incredible amount of talent 002 possesses, we were able to put a realistic stamp on every idea that I normally would have figured out a plan “B”. The artists that made this project go from concept to reality was Cindi Harwood Rose. Inspired by the city of Houston, Cindi took her skill of being a Silhouette artist to create the perfect foundation for the project. Once we were able to collaborate with Cindi, it seemed as if no idea should be put on the shelf. I would love to hear your feedback about the project.

New York City is full of inspiration. It is full of energy that is hard to find anywhere else. On a recent trip to NYC, I photographed anything that inspired me. I noticed that the most inspiring elements were not so much the actual city, but the people. I could feel the determination. I could feel the energy of “lets make it happen no matter what” attitude from the rushing streets. To live there as a creative, you have to continuously be creating, and have a confident commitment to your work that others can see and feel inspired from. The constant push of knowing others are working creates a drive that is unmatched. The end results after leaving was simple. Create as much work as you can, and find those who will create with you.
