Caleb sitting on the bench outside the ladies room at the Nelson Atkins Museum.
The low light made this come out very grainy, but it has an old newspaper feel to me…. I think I like it.

“Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It’s perfect when it arrives, and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we’ve learnt something from yesterday.” — John Wayne (via jilllian)

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.” — Marcus Aurelius, philosopher and writer (121-180)
