Give Space A Chance

Today is my good friend, Sab's birthday!! And to show her that I'm celebrating (she's timezones away in New York!), I'm posting photographs of all the things she loves, outer space, vintage-looking patterned wallpaper, and straight-on framing like these next two pictures show:

Perfect for her taste are these images from Vincent Fournier's Space Project, a series of photographs that also includes some of large space-training machines and complexes with the same silent emotion depicted above.

I had never taken a special liking to outer space, but under Sab's influence, I have definitely appreciated the astro world a lot more. In her words, I should "give space a chance" hahahahaha!

This last picture is my favorite!

Before Sab left to fulfill her film school dreams in New York, we were production classmates, and we bonded about what kinds of projects we'd like to do for fun. Our imagined scenarios included children popping water balloons perpendicular to a band being drizzled on by the residue, flying elephants on panels, and little kids waking up from giant sofa chairs. We were able to make one video together! And though none of those dream scenes came to be, it's still one of the projects I'm most proud of.

I miss you Sabbie! I know you're having fun in New York!! :-)
