"I disregard the proportions, the measures, the tempo of the ordinary world. I refuse to live in the ordinary world as ordinary women. To enter ordinary relationships. I want ecstasy. I am a neurotic -- in the sense that I live in my world. I will not adjust myself to the world. I am adjusted to myself."
Anais Nin, 1933

Reid Crosby:
"I take pictures of whatever catches my eye, whether it's spectacular or mundane, whether it's a sunset or trash in the street. The scenes that attract me most are usually very geometric in nature. I also take a great deal of pleasure in finding an unusual point of view, even if it means that I have to try a little harder to find a unique angle. That's the fun part. "
