Of course she did! The Golden Lion is the highest honor to be awarded in the Venice Film Festival and Sofia Coppola won this praise for her new film Somewhere. This film will offer the auteur’s pretty-powdery, bitter-sweet and dreamily-depressing images and tone that she is known for.

Blurry Moon Jelly by Saveena
Yesterday I took a little field trip to the Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park. While strolling around the aquarium looking at all the fantastic sea creatures, I began to see the potential for so much creativity.

The sky threatened rain but had little to show for it. I was hoping for an excuse to stay inside all day today too.
