As anyone familiar with my desk can tell you, I have a thing for geniuses – granted a subjective term – but regardless. When I left my last place, wet and sooty, I left all the geniuses up – for some contractor to wonder about when they gutted the place later on. I only took Rodin and Ansel Adams which were prints I’d bought instead of ones I’d printed out. Now as of last night, my desk’s backdrop once again is comfrotably fluent with genius. And I’ve made some changes….

New:

Ron Fricke
Jon Stewart
Gustavo Santaolalla
Phillip Pullman
Holdt
Hemingway (couldn’t find photo I liked before)
David Gordon Green
Hiroshi Sugimoto
Reverend Billy
Roald Dahl
Sam Harris
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Marc Forster
Jean-Pierre Jeunet

Gone:

Michael Moore (just doesn’t feel appropriate anymore, altho I still agree with him on almost everything)
Smashing Pumpkins (Don’t feel right putting bands up – to college student-ey)

Still To Come:

Wright Brothers
Gandhi
Nevin Danner
Arundhati Roy (after I finish some more of her books)
More I’m sure as I remember them
