"If all the world's a stage.where does the audience sit?" - George Carlin

You don't take a photograph. You ask, quietly, to borrow it. ~Author Unknown

Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. ~Henri Cartier-Bresson ... and that's exactly why I don't do weddings!

’like the collector,

the photographer is animated

by a passion that,

even when it appears to be for the present,

is linked to a sense of the past.’ ... Susan Sontag

If I could show you through words the things I see ... I wouldn't need a camera ... and, if I could photograph you the world truly ... I wouldn't need words.

"...Soldiers' graves are the greatest preachers of peace."

— Albert Schweitzer

"The only thing of importance, when we depart, will be the traces of love we have left behind."

— Albert Schweitzer

I really do appreciate all kind comments, words and critiques, but PLEASE ... no comments or invites with badges, large images, multiple invites, award levels, flashing icons, or award/post rules.

If you don't display a profile picture, have anything (i.e. a photostream) available to me to base a privacy judgement on, or have relatively disturbing images saved in your favorites, I will need to block you until your Flickr page is a little more user/family friendly. Thanks for understanding.
