Beautiful plum blossoms welcomed me on my first visit here. I noticed you like some of the same books I do. I just reviewed The Joy Luck Club for my book club. Coincidence?
"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." - Dr. Howard Thurman
If you can't find something worthy to photograph within forty feet of where you stand you are not seeing. You must look with eyes that are awake to the extraordinary within the ordinary. I want to capture in my photograph that singular moment of tenderness I see in life. ~ Ruth Bernhard
When I am happy, I see happiness in others. When I am compassionate, I see compassion in other people. When I am full of energy and hope, I see opportunities all around me. - Steve Chandler,
In painting, as in the other arts, there's not a single process, no matter how insignificant, that can be reasonably made into a formula. You come to nature with your theories, and she knocks them all flat.
~ August Renoir (1841 - 1919)
“That’s the way they are. You must not hold it against them. Children should be very understanding of grown-ups. “ - The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To my mind, a picture should be something pleasant, cheerful, and pretty, yes pretty! There are too many unpleasant things in life as it is without creating still more of them.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Robert Anson Heinlein
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, copperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
