I have always been inspired by Angus and Julia Stone, a brother/sister folk duo from Sydney. I saw them in LA and wish I could have seen them when I visited Australia, but they were in studio.
The problem of course is that they don’t have a direct mail line, it’s filtered through their record company I believe. But it won’t hurt to try, hmm?
Also, if you get the chance and feel the inclination, check em out! I like to listen to them while I paint, it’s very soothing. Try “Just a Boy”, “Paper Aeroplane”, and “Mango Tree”.

My wonderful father is going to go skydiving with me in San Diego when I graduate. :D My mom told me a story about when they were on vacation recently and he was telling people about our plans to go bc he’s excited. How cute is that, I love my dad.

My first email was to Aaron Blumenshine. He is a young photographer working out of NY/LA/ and I believe London. His work can be seen at his website here: http://www.aaronblumenshine.com/.
I came across his blog at a time when I was really really down on all of my photo assignments and wondering if I had the drive to be a creative photographer and I found his work inspirational. Which is pretty much what my letter said.
I am not sure whom to write to next. Too bad HD Thoreau was way before my time, or he would definitely be getting a letter.
Update: He wrote back!! Very gracious and sweet. He said it was really hard to be an artist and encouragement is always helpful. How very true.
