Isn't it pretentious to quote Nietzsche?

Of The Vanity Of Artists:

"I believe artists often do not know what they can do best, because they are too vain and have fixed their minds on something prouder than those small plants seem to be that really can grow on their soil to perfection and are new, strange and beautiful. They do not think much of what is actually good in their own garden or vineyard: and their love and insight are not of the same order." -Nietzsche

Charles Carter you will be missed.

i met charles a few years ago at the coffee gallery. yesterday he passed away due to a massive stroke he suffered a few months back. in the short time that i knew him, he made such a wonderful difference in my life. i saw him when i saw him, and he always put a smile on my face. his hugs were great, and his love was contagious. one day he let me photograph him, and he invited me to have a glimpse into his life and it was so amazing. i wrote about it in depth here on this blog before i deleted it, and now i reallly regret it. i am afraid i do not remember all of the details of that day, and that makes me soo sad.


when i have more time, i am going to try and remember everything i can from that day, and write it down. ill post it later.

im back.... maybe.
