My Favorite Piece of Art

Art is so subjective. What even makes something "art"? 

I often feel that life is art in motion with nobody around to observe the quiet details. I experience a great sense of joy when I witness romance while it goes unnoticed by everyone else. It's the same bittersweet feeling I work through whenever I sink a long putt while playing a round of golf all alone. Sometimes I feel the same feeling when taking the long way home and happen to witness a once-in-a-lifetime sunset in my rear-view mirror. 

Washington Park Denver Colorado Wedding TJ Romero

A breath. A moment. A split second that belongs me, and only me. 

Rodin has always been someone that I come back to and identify with time after time. "The Clenched Hand" tells such a story in the most simplest way. Someone who has shared and celebrated the quiet details of our human form in a way that no one else has. 

Art surrounds all of us, even in the most desolate locations on Earth. It's up to us to identify it, celebrate it, experience it to its fullest potential, and share our breath enthusiastically with everyone.

How you share it is up to you.

Denver Botanic Gardens // RiNo District Wedding
Uh said the man to the lady
Uh said the lady to the man she adored.
— The Pixies

After being around these two all day, Jessica and Jarvis reminded me why I fell in love. A cloudy day at the Hotel Monaco in downtown Denver kicked it off nicely. Crazy as it was; the day continued with a carefree ceremony in the rain at the Denver Botanic Gardens followed by a romantic waltz under umbrellas. 

But wait, it got even better. The deep blue sky insisted on being a guest at the reception in the RiNo District of Denver. Somehow Jessica and Jarvis booked the most intensely raw and organic venue I have ever experienced a wedding reception at. This setting was stellar for the first dance to The Pixies song, "Hey". 

Before the first dance, I caught them practicing in the courtyard illuminated only by twinkle lights; totally alone.

That is the moment that still happily haunts me to this day. This blog post wouldn't have been possible without Audrey Michel inviting me along. Thank you.


What She Knew // Lydia Davis

"People did not know what she knew, that she was not really a woman but a man, often a fat man, but more often, probably, an old man.

The fact that she was an old man made it hard for her to be a young woman.

It was hard for her to talk to a young man,for instance, though the young man was clearly interested in her.

She had to ask herself, Why is this young man flirting with this old man?"
