Banksy on the back

Cool girl with balloon Banksy image tattoo from the series of graffities he did on the Palestine wall in the West Bank. I was shooting this girl at the New Israel Fund's annual dinner where learned about the progress Jewish and their efforts to work with Palestine.

Jarmusch on Authenticity

"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to." - Jim Jarmusch
