Not for me, please!!!

Can you truly capture one medium unto another? I doubt it.

Many people have told me to combine my two passions...Architecture and writing. Into what? Architectural Journalism. But that is to absolutely negate the reasons I love the two.

I mean to squeeze a space into words...or to limit my writing to concrete? Really? I don't think so!!

Call it absolute Ego....but I find nothing more exhilarating than to create my art using the two different forms of expression. It wouldn't make any sense for me to critique someone else's design...to devote myself to someone else's thoughts, to analyze someone else's vision. Nor to sit and dabble in boring boring technical writing.



I find it so annoying that close friends who seem to know so much about me, are so blind to this very essential underlying fact. And then they tell me..."It would be just perfect for you.....You Must!! You absolutely must take this up" As if they have figured me out!!!!
