JULIA CHILD ON SET OF THE FRENCH CHEF WITH CREW, 1963. Photograph by Paul Child. From the Julia Child Papers, Collection of the Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America, Radcliffe Institute, Harvard University.

I never knew!! I hope all cooking shows are done this way. Imagine all your memories of Julia Child being from knee level while crumbs scatter all over your button down shirt.

breakthrough,  it’s a crazy idea.”

~Peter Diamandis

Try something new not just today, but everyday.

Fail? Try harder next time, but soon.

Everyone a round of applause for Brad the new Black & White editor someone who had a huge break through.  Already a dominating force in the tumblr landscape with a portfolio of black and whites, Brad’s urban landscapes will defy how you visual gravity and your preconceived visions of angles & lines.  There are plenty of boring people out there in any field/industry, but go crazy with your camera like Brad, after all original content is paramount.

* Warning his photos have been know to cause serve eyegasm’s.  If you dig that stuff follow him here, but subscribers be aware looking at his photos will cause extreme inspiration and hours lost in a lens trying to replicate his shots.

The Peabody Stack Room of the George Peabody Library, Baltimore, Maryland. The George Peabody Library, formerly the Library of the Peabody Institute of the City of Baltimore, dates from the founding of the Peabody Institute in 1857. It contains more than 300,000 titles—most of which date from the eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries. Renowned for its striking architectural interior, the Peabody Stack Room contains five tiers of ornamental cast-iron balconies, which rise dramatically to the skylight 61 feet above the floor.
In addition to its traditional use as a research library, it is available as an event space. The library accommodates wedding ceremonies, wedding receptions, private dinners, holiday parties and lectures. (via Lisa Pisa)
