Gretel Ehrlich said of those yawning Wyoming spaces that she loves, “Its absolute indifference steadied me.” I know what she meant. We spend our days trying to be big. In the middle of nowhere, though, we can surrender to smallness again and instead find where we fit in the landscape. Out there, where there’s nothing, is where there’s the most to learn.

This perfectly articulates what I’ve felt, in the midst of Indiana farmland and Wyoming mountains.

Recent work for the great folks at Thompson Creative (http://www.thompson-creative.com). This went from idea to finished product in 24 hours. Gary Thompson gets credit for writing a fun script; I shot and edited the video.

I need this in my neighborhood. Hell, we need these in every neighborhood.

For the entire year of 2003, photographer Robert Weingarten decided to throw out everything he knew about photography. Instead of always looking for something different to capture, Robert decided to focus on the same piece of sky at the same time of every morning.

His 6:30 A.M. series takes you on a picturesque journey through the ever-changing hues of Santa Monica Bay sunrises.

The Same Piece of Sky Captured Every Day for a Year

Beautiful.

We enter a little coffeehouse with a friend of mine and give our order. While we’re aproaching our table two people come in and they go to the counter:
‘Five coffees, please. Two of them for us and three suspended’ They pay for their order, take the two and leave.

I ask my friend: “What are those ‘suspended’ coffees?”
My friend: “Wait for it and you will see.”

Some more people enter. Two girls ask for one coffee each, pay and go. The next order was for seven coffees and it was made by three lawyers - three for them and four ‘suspended’. While I still wonder what’s the deal with those ‘suspended’ coffees I enjoy the sunny weather and the beautiful view towards the square infront of the café. Suddenly a man dressed in shabby clothes who looks like a beggar comes in throught the door and kindly asks
‘Do you have a suspended coffee ?’

It’s simple - people pay in advance for a coffee meant for someone who can not afford a warm bevarage. The tradition with the suspended coffees started in Naples, but it has spread all over the world and in some places you can order not only a suspended coffee, but also a sandwitch or a whole meal.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have such cafés or even grocery stores in every town where the less fortunate will find hope and support ? If you own a business why don’t you offer it to your clients… I am sure many of them will like it.
