It is entirely possible to long for two lives, to feel that one life can’t come close to containing it all. 
~ Elsewhere, Gabrielle Zevin
Excuses are tools of the incompetent. They build bridges that lead to nowhere. Those who indulge in them, seldom accomplish anything at all.

Stranger! If you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?
- Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass, To You

The Drums - Days (Trentemøller Remix)

Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that all was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible.
- T.E Lawrence

UBS "Stephen Wiltshire"


UBS "Stephen Wiltshire" from HUMBLE TV on Vimeo.
Director/DP Noah David Smith recently teamed up with humble and Publicis to shoot a touching film for UBS featuring artist, Stephen Wiltshire. After spending the early years of his life as a mute Stephen found his voice through drawing. Later diagnosed with autism, drawing began to be the way he communicated with the world. At age nine he began to speak and his art continued to flourish. Stephen has the amazing talent of drawing city skylines from memory. Having spent only a few hours in a helicopter flying from Brooklyn to the tip of Manhattan, he memorized the city skyline and headed back to a studio to begin his drawing. Stephen then spent the next 3 days sketching the skyline. The panoramic drawing will be featured on a billboard that will be displayed at JFK airport terminal The piece speaks to the vision of the UBS campaign “We will not rest”.
Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment, because it will never come again.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard - Star Trek: Generations
No relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater…The love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences. And that’s the key. It’s like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece. Love can make up for a lot.
