wow spacy, what are you, an ex? it blows my mind that so many people feel the license to be downright mean when someone has given us a glimpse into their life.

i thought the point of these posts was to share and generate ideas. which is what i got out of this lovely post. it reminded me of nyc before developers took over - when artists still lived in soho. (and liz, just between you and me, it reminded me of the great photographer earnst haas' loft, even though it's completely different, and i was there when i was a child.) it reminded me of living with my first boyfriend, a painter. it made me think of paris garrets with their beautiful windows, and then opera of course, and chelsea galleries. and the personal touches made me think of religion, personal connection, travel.

it brought to my mind a much more creative thread than most of the photos we see - when you know people stuffed all their stuff into the closet, and styled the room as if it were an ikea catalogue. personally, i have a more modern aesthetic. but its irrelevant if it's your taste or not. there's still plenty to be gained by seeing how other people live.

there seems to be a certain tyranny that comes with people trying to make their places perfect perfect perfect. (and apparently a certain meanness) i hope that's not what AT is about.
