thank you for stopping by... and leaving a comment, a note or a tag..

 

best photos have a soul, their impact on us is far more than the sum of their parts... they compel us to look a long time and over and over, they make a change in us we can't explain... they go far beyond words... like good art :) If I can make anything like this, I consider myself lucky, if I come across others' photos that have this impact, I consider myself lucky :)

 

some of my photos have stories or quotes, others just stand for themselves...

 

please see my faves as well.. somehow the images come together from all over the world and create a collage of life as we know it or don't know it... I like seeing them juxtaposed, to me they create a poetic jump in reasoning :) enjoy!!

please all,

 

help put an end to war, that is destruction of so much that is all of our lives.... sharing, helping one another, protecting, building, discovering, supporting should be on everyones' agenda, worldwide, universe wide...

 

war was a solution in the past, it is not a solution any longer, we have much better solutions at hand and we must use them. we must leave "us" and "them" behind --it is "we", the human race everywhere...

 

peace, love, freedom and prosperity to everyone...

 

a "battle", is a battle in a team against time to find a cure for cancer, a battle is battle against natural forces to bring clean water to a village, to bring electricity to a remote region, a battle agaist ignorance to "educate", a battle against "can't do", to discover, to alleviate...

 

"War is not an adventure. It is a disease. It is like typhus."

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

  

walk the path "with the heart... "

I like Hulya´s statement in the "please all" - paragraph on her profile.

I go through my day, in my town--rainy, cold, dreary; then I visit Hulya in (my town) Portland, and I see how the lights reflect on the puddles, how the rain streaks on the shop windows, and the delicious food inside, how the flowers are budding, and how the sun looks breaking through the clouds.

I go through my day, in my town--rainy, cold, dreary; then I visit Hulya in (my town) Portland, and I see how the lights reflect on the puddles, how the rain streaks on the shop windows, and the delicious food inside, how the flowers are budding, and how the sun looks breaking through the clouds. She sees, and photographs from an optimistic, autobiographical vantage point, and each visit leaves me with "fresh eyes", seeing a place I thought I knew, but really didn't.
