Here's to Isaac Bloom

I am reposting this because I feel the same way about Isaac. This post was originally posted about his mother who is a "Life Artist." Like mother like son? And his father is an amazing photographer among other arts. Like father like son? This is one talented family: The Yourist/Blooms. Check out Isaac's new web site from Japan. The piece his called "Japan on Foot." Link is at bottom of this post:

I am ALWAYS in awe of someone who can look at life, through their art, in a way that no one else has until that moment. To create new ways of seeing. It was there all along, s/he saw it, and now I can see it too.

I am always in awe of someone who can follow their vision, their passion and who dedicates their life to those beliefs.

Experiencing an artist's ability to cause me to see life differently makes me feel like my creativity is only a rehash of what is, not a view of what might be, could be, or should be. I yearn to live my life artistically and by doing so to bring joy and understanding to others. I'll keep trying. Why do I feel like I will never be that "Best Little Boy?"

My friend Jan causes these same emotions in me. I love her and am an avid fan of hers because: 1) She is good. 2) She is inventive. 3) She is one of a kind. 4) She is intense. 5) She doesn’t know how to settle for the ordinary. 6) I love her.
