I'm going to see his new work in New York and I'm so excited







"Over and over again I fall asleep with my eyes open, knowing I'm falling asleep, unable to prevent it. When I fall asleep this way, my eyes are cut off from my ordinary mind as though they were shut, but they become directly connected to this new, extraordinary mind, which grows increasingly competent to deal with their impressions.

i will always talk to you about secret places. I would never alienate you. Though this is a difficult duty of taking on another life, commitment to care. I feel so free right now. I am becoming closer to purity. I don't need the physicality. I have arrived to insights that I have never thought existed. I feel peace and harmony in myself. The answer to the question? You possess a treasure of incalculable value. I will take care of it, protect, and cherish it. But I want to also go far away. I have kept the most pleasing and attractive subject to the last. Never leave leisure to idle about. A spring is clear and lucid because the water is in motion.

farewell to faraway friends

The education of youth is a very serious thing. Thus expresses himself: " what grander task can anyone have then that of guiding souls, of training the young? I esteem him who understands how to mold and educate youth more highly than the painter, the sculpture, and every other artist, whoever he may be.

I was born to use my eyes
Dream with the sun and the skies
To float away in a lifelong song
In the mist where melody flies.

I was made to love magic...

he knew her


The forest heaved into sudden life.




"The woman! Don't shoot!" he cried. "See! She is unarmed!"
hunting scenes, stretches of sombre forest, vastnesses of silent snow, the glittering of ballroom lights, great galleries and lecture halls, a fleeting shimmer of glistening testtubes, long rows of book-lined shelves, the throb of machinery and the roar of traffic, a fragment of forgotten song, faces of dear women and old chums, a lonely watercourse amid upstanding peaks, a shattered boat on a pebbly strand, quiet moonlit fields, fat vales, the smell of wood....







into the heart of the Barrens where the niggard North is supposed to deny the Earth, are to be found great sweeps of forests and stretches of smiling land. But this the world is just beginning to know. The world's explorers have known it, from time to time, but hitherto they have never returned to tell the world.

I like these.





They remind me of the retirement neighborhood I went to where the people dressed up their lawns with lawn decorations. It seemed who ever had the most extravagant things on their lawn were at top rank in the neighborhood, like a social status by lawn gnomes.

watching Octopussy on silent with Kayne West soundtrack is surprisingly perfect


Live Clean and Let Your Work Be Seen

genagenagena needs a blurb thingy for dreamtheend. So I came up with 2


Gena Morgese was born in 1987 and raised in Sarasota, Fl. At 18 she stayed in Sarasota to study photography ( sadly not clowns) at Ringling College. At 22 she will be graduating and moving to Alaska where she will work and document life there for the summertime.

gena morgese is a photographer born in neverland where she was taught to never grow up. She was nourished and raised on unicorn wishes and rainbow delights. she lives in a place where dreams are real and reality is a dream.

How shall one choose!?




i wish i could wear this outfit everyday.

Dream The End

http://dreamtheend.com/ emailed me back today saying they were going to put my work up on the site and I'm very happy because I really like the artists they have. I also heard from the photography studio in Alaska today, they are really some of the nicest people I have ever talked which makes it 10 times easier to go there. They said they had an open space for me, I have not called back yet because I need to give them an answer of when I would be moving there. I know going to Alaska is something that I need to do so I shouldn't be scared but I am. Not of the bears and the cold and the job and the everything new, but of that missing feeling you get. Hopefully it will be good and I can start spending every summer in Alaska. I mean how awesome is this?







heres some pictures I took for Wacky Wed.

The F blog featured some of my pictures and I was happy to get blllllogged. I liked the 3 comments best, there cute.

This is on the back of my front door as i get home the other day, realizing I'm home alone that night i needed to do something about the robbers. Later that night there were police lights casting blue and red tree shadows on my window downstairs. So I put on some face paint for the battle if anyone decided to mess with my blue and orange house with all my bags of oreos inside!

photo show feb. 20th

These are the ones I "got in"

i need to look more scared of the world and to get darker circles under my eyes

creepy little girls are appearing in my life


something in the way she laughs

eating chocolate cake

F-stop magazine is doing a collaboration issue and I got paired up with someone from puerto rico and shes great! We each take 3 pictures which represent something of us (emotion, environment, interests, etc.). We then exchange those, so that we have each others 3 pictures, and take 3 new pictures using the others pictures as a source of inspiration. By doing this, it would be an interlacing of our individuality, our self, with that of another, and the photographs are an interpretation of our exterior from within. Does this make sense? Well see

pretty

if you want somethign in life reach out and grab it, its the heros journey

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When i think of love as something new



Though i know i'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i'll often stop and think about them
In my life i love you more





This is a Beatles song , Everyone knows that song. They have been sung to us over and over again since we were little. But do you believe them? Do you believe there are these kind of people still out there who believe "all you need is love."
I think people want to be lonely. They like to throw away good things. Look at everyone's garbage its usually beautiful stuff, or something that can be turned into something beautiful. Everything matters to me. I think now its time for me to do what i knew i already had to do. To live in a state of unknowing wilderness. I think people as in just about everyone i have met so far being young, think too much. I take things to heart but I never think too much. I avoid situations where I will have to think too much, life is too simple, it is the most simple, easiest, thing to do. People stop living when they think. Live in the moment. Don't get caught up in it, live it. Tomorrow is tomorrow. You have to hold on to what you already know. Getting rid of those abundance of thoughts or you will never be free enough because of it. I know i am a passive person who keeps everything inside, but its because i like to keep it there in my head. The words to your thoughts give it less meaning. Its what gives me passion. Anyways this is just getting me to lead into what I have always wanted. The wait is whats going to get to me. Such is my idea of happiness. My happiness is leaving. It's ok that I went to college if you can ever call Art School an education. It was my excuse to stay with my grandpa more. It has closed my mind and now I need to open it. When I go to Alaska it will be a crazy change but the core of spirit comes form new experiences. The experience of it all feels more like love. What more could someone desire?




Sit beside a mountain stream--see her waters rise
Listen to the pretty sound of music as she flies.

Find me in my field of grass--Mother Nature's son
Swaying daises sing a lazy song beneath the sun.

Mother Nature's son.



I think that is the better of the Beatles songs.

I know I’m awake, but it feels as if I’m in a dream.
The double sidedness of a statement is a thing of undeniable beauty. To be awake, but to feel as if you’re in a dream. There is an enchantment to it, the idea that the dreamlike qualities of what is real are idyllic, wonderful, fantastic. It is too good to be true. It is the thing we have been waiting for our entire lives. It is the post-orgasm tranquility of life.
