“Life has had millions of years to finely-tune mechanisms and structures (such as photosynthesis, or spider’s silk) that work better than current technologies, require less energy and produce no life-unfriendly waste. The emulation of this technology is the goal of biomimicry, the art of innovation inspired by nature.” Brett Hoverstott :: photography

○ philosophy ○

"I never set out to become anything in particular, only to live creatively and push the scope of my experience for adventure and for passion...If I only scrape a living, at least it’s a living where I’m scraping. If there’s no future in it, this is a present worth remembering. Make up our own minds for experience and be inspired." :: ms
