Journey to the Good Life

Interview with photographer Stacey Irvin

Welcome to my interview with local photographer Stacey Irvin. I met Stacey yesterday at her East Nashville studio and found her to be a very sweet and engaging lady. She is passionate about her travels and clearly enjoys getting to know the local culture and people of her various destinations.

Her work has been shown in various art galleries around Nashville and when you see her work you will understand why. She has an amazing eye for colors and her photos seem to pull you in to them so they can tell you the story. They whisper to you that they hold a secret of another culture, of days gone by and inspire your mind. I know when I've looked at her work I can almost hear the children laughing, the conversation as a meal is prepared, the sounds of animals nearby or the wind blowing through the trees.

C'mon, let me introduce you to Stacey Corey

The Darjeeling Limited

This was a really good movie that could really sneak up on you and make you laugh. I really enjoyed it and loved the pace and the setting of the movie. I recommend it.

Plot Outline:
Three American brothers who have not spoken to each other in a year set off on a train voyage across India with a plan to find themselves and bond with each other -- to become brothers again like they used to be. Their "spiritual quest", however, veers rapidly off-course (due to events involving over-the-counter pain killers, Indian cough syrup, and pepper spray), and they eventually find themselves stranded alone in the middle of the desert with eleven suitcases, a printer, and a laminating machine. At this moment, a new, unplanned journey suddenly begins.
