the pursuit

"when you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love." - Marcus Aurelius

adrian reif

i like to consider myself a professional wanderer | explorer | adventurer. this pervades all aspects of my life - physical, emotional, spiritual.

in that spirit, i've decided to post some of my "art" - photos, paintings, and poems - on posterous to let the world to see. why? 1) so i can work on letting go of what i think people think about my stuff 2) force myself to find time to keep creating.

when we get busy, it seems creative endeavors slip down the priority list. i don't want this to happen. by posting here once per week, i hope to keep my creative spark going and continue to wiggle time each week to paint, write, or shoot.

i don't call myself an artist, but i guess i am. we all are. i'm self taught, and so are you. don't let those with "art training" or degrees tell you what is or is not art. most of all don't be ashamed of your art - or think that "it's not as good as so-and-so's." that's bullcrap. keep on creating.
