You look like a museum to me Standing firm in a chaotic city Calm in spite of all the urban noise And beautifully aware of all the art That resides in you. -@noor_unnahar (Yesterday I Was the Moon) -PC: @grayfilterphotography - - This move has been a heck of a change but I feel revitalized and I think I'm finally out of my creative rut. So happy to have the space and time to dive into my crafts. - - #merikaistudio #photooftheday #paintmines #photoshoot #westernart #photographer #poetry #noorunnahar #yesterdayiwasthemoon

I closed my eyes. Languorously, I dreamt. I hoped. I wanted. I was almost lost to the dreaming, almost a wisher instead of a doer before I remembered that closed eyes accomplish nothing. I must open them and act. -A. Noëlle @anoellecs - -PC: @gray_filter @grayfilterphotography - #photooftheday #photography #photoshoot #westernart #coloradoartist #dancer #poetry #collaboration

Those who paved the road you're walking weren't fearless but rather iron rods amidst a sea of grass, bending to the will of the wind -A. Noëlle @anoellecs PC: @gray_filter @grayfilterphotography PS. The wind almost knocked me off that very tall rock. #photography #photooftheday #paintmines #dancer #merikaistudio #photoshoot #coloradoartist #poetry

Guest directing a scene for @r_stokes's new film. As well as a photoshoot with @gray_filter. I can't wait to see the pictures. This week has been eventful. Highly recommend Paint Mines if you haven't been. - - - #filmmaking #merikaistudio #dancer #westernart #coloradonative #director #photoshoot (at Paint Mines)
