I recently shut down my Facebook, emptied out most of my Google Reader and am making more effort to be less and less connected to/on the internet.

In the hopes of still keeping this blog alive, it will be taking a bit of a new turn. I will still post about work I encounter, the difference will be that my sources will be shows, books, friends and online portfolios that I find - as opposed to work I hear about through other blogs. Though, some of my posts already fit into this new category, others do not. And while I do thoroughly enjoy the work, I want to make it more of an aim to only post about items that inspire or speak to me deeply.

This blog will also begin to incorporate more of my personal interests - food, books (ones I have made or am reading), more films, music, good finds around town, exhibitions, etc. The information shared here should be things I am thoroughly excited about and want to share with others, so it is becoming just that. I hope to feel a better sense of connectedness to my actual environment and less to the internet realm. The weather should be warming up soon, too, and the last place I want to be is at my computer. I want this everyday:

I hope you will join me in opening this blog up to more content, and to creating rich discussions around the newer posts.

Looking forward to what may come!

Taking a break for a little bit. No blog, flickr, or facebook. If you want to be in touch, shoot me an email.

I will keep posting, but only occassionally.

I will be in Pont-Aven, France until the end of July. I will try to keep the blog updated and will be adding some new work to my personal site, allisonbeonde.com.
