If you can sustain your interest in what you’re doing, you’re an extremely fortunate person. What you see very frequently in people’s professional lives, and perhaps in their emotional life as well, is that they lose interest in the third act. You sort of get tired, and indifferent, and, sometimes, defensive. And you kind of lose your capacity for astonishment — and that’s a great loss, because the world is a very astonishing place.
What I feel fortunate about is that I’m still astonished, that things still amaze me. And I think that’s the great benefit of being in the arts, where the possibility for learning never disappears, where you basically have to admit you never learn it.
Milton Glaser, considered by many the greatest graphic designer alive and celebrating his 83rd birthday today, on art, purpose, and the capacity for astonishment. (via explore-blog)Posted on August 5, 2012 via Explore with 396 notes

My name is Janney Claire Alexi and I am a photographer living in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
This site is where I highlight the original work of fellow photographers and artists - my greatest sources of inspiration!
Images are directly linked to the original website of the artist/photographer or re-blogged from within Tumblr. If your content has been incorporated here and you would like the credit information adjusted or content removed just let me know and I will surely fix right away.
Sometimes I will post videos and other works of visual interest (like commercials - but ones that are so creative that I just have to.) Stay tuned - I've only just begun to pay homage to my favourite creative folk.
