ballet 422

I know very little about the ballet world, but watching Ballet 422 - a documentary about the birth of the 422nd ballet for the New York City Ballet - took me up-close to a place that was once mysterious and magical. The film took apart the pieces that creates a ballet and showed how Justin Peck, a talented, young choreographer pieced it together with tasteful vision. It's amazing to watch how an idea was conceived into the form of an iPhone video and pen and paper, then brought to life with dancers, costume, and music. Even just watching them work their way towards the premiere made me very nervous.

A great documentary that captures the creative process and bringing ideas to life.

Yosemite

A couple of weeks ago, my friends and I rented a cabin in the woods by the Yosemite Valley so we could do two days of hiking. We were hit with unexpected weather: cloudiness and snow on the first day, and then a complete turnaround with warm and sunny weather the next. But with the backdrop of the Yosemite Valley, seeing with the myriad of weather conditions allowed us to appreciate the valley in all of its form and beauty.
