I've just finished watching Julie & Julia, which I have been waiting to see for quite some time. It was an absolutely heartwarming film filled with lovely imagery and a great message. In the movie, Julie feels lost in her life, working a shitty job, living in Queens, feeling no sense of direction, and by following her love of food and her hobby of cooking, she finds motivation in the words and teachings of Julia Child. Let alone the stunning performance by Ms. Meryl Streep, the characters in this film are so sincere and so driven, I could not help but be moved. I truly feel that my efforts over the last year, (my first year out of undergraduate,) have not been lost. I can see, perhaps for the first time, the value in all of the quiet evenings of reading, research, and blogging here. I can only hope for a modicum of the success that Julia earns through her endeavors, in my own. I will continue to post new work, works in progress, thoughts, research, etc here for all of you to see and hopefully comment on. I hope that this blog will serve as a document that I can look back on, when these projects were new, and fresh, and that you all can find some comfort or interest here. My New Year's resolution for 2011 is to make lots of new work, and I intend to keep that goal! After all, If I am going to get accepted into grad school any time soon, I'll need a portfolio that blows any review board away! good luck to you all in the new year! I wish you the best, and I'll see ya around!
Always,
Stewart A.
