inside of me there are words waiting to come out

“Tea pot is on, the cups are waiting, Favorite chairs anticipating, No matter what I have to do, My friend there’s always time for you.”

“We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting.” – Kahlil Gibran (Essayist, Poet)

“I try to talk to you, but I don’t know what to say. I am afraid you don’t want me to say anything. So I don’t. But inside of me there are words waiting to come out.And tell you how I feel-like how I miss you. And how I love you despite my broken heart.And how I need you in my life. And especially how much I want you.But those words may forver stay in my heart-locked inside.Sometimes I wonder if there are words locked.”

 

I shot these dark, cinematic images with photographer Rinze van Brug and stylist Anett Gabriel of Dutch House Photography for the Linhardt Design Collection. Rinze’s photography has a precious, antique quality. The softened tones coupled with the voyeuristic set-ups can instill feelings as wide-ranging as peacefulness to trepidation. We started shooting at dusk and shot through the evening to capture the aura of New York City’s Lower East Side at night…

I’ve known Lisa, the designer for awhile. We were first introduced through Ron from RecycleBank. At the time she was taking jewelry design courses at F.I.T. and now she has opened up an amazing boutique in the Lower East Side showcasing some of the best in sustainable jewelry design. She sources and designs with a number of cooperatives around the world. Later this Spring, we’ll be releasing the a.d. schwarz line there, so please stay tuned.
