Hotels are creepy.  Especially the chain hotels because they are all made to look alike.  And I don’t get the idea behind the carpet design.  My hotel this evening reminded me a little of “The Shining” so for my creative thing today I decided to snap some pictures and take the symmetry of the place to a whole other level.  Too much symmetry can feel closed in, oppressive and cold.  Finally I capped it all off with some eerie atmospheric sounds.

On a side note, what a crazy day.  I’m still surprised it was only one day.  This morning I finished the first of three cuts that need to be done in the next week and a half and then I drove home and spent a couple hours with Jenny and June before leaving for the airport.  I flew to Oakland for a shoot happening tomorrow but when I arrived at the rental car kiosk they pointed out to me that my drivers license had expired.  So I had to take a cab all the way from Oakland to Marin.
 
It’s a bummer too because for my creative thing I wanted to drive through this one area of Marin that I used to always take friends to after midnight because it’s a haven for wildlife.  If you go there after midnight you are almost guaranteed to see a few deer.  Instead I arrived at my hotel and was stuck here.  Which, in turn, led to this creative thing of the day.
