--- Here's my blog. I want to share with you my tastes so that you get to better know me.

There are few things better than a fine conversation about stuff that matters ---

“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.”

Speaking of taste... how about these guys. Slow clap for design.

Meet Chet and Kyle.

They have an incredibly lovely home.

It's amazing to me what happens when good intentions meet design. They make this. Since working at an ad agency, I've become increasingly aware how important design is not only to my video work, but also in everyday life. Things like this make me smile.

You can check out the rest of their Michigan get-a-away over at The Fresh Exchange Blog.

S/O to my sister Malloy McMorrow for the find. She's lucky enough to have visited this space on numerous occasions.
