Again, serendipity popped its amazing head as yesterday I had photographed this little hut at my favorite herb farm and came home to a lovely testimonial from my flickr calligraphy friend, Blunder.
Goodness, don't know what I've done to deserve such staggering compliments, but am genuinely grateful to have been an inspiration in some small way! To "possess a skeleton key that unlocks all the doors and windows of the souls in the world, in every person" is an astounding statement!
I love Sir Blunder's words, "Personally I think that the soul can only be truly free when it can find a door or a window through which it can express itself creatively."
I can truly attest to that feeling of "freedom" and have to agree with the following quotations:
“Art is the window to man's soul. Without it, he would never be able to see beyond his immediate world; nor could the world see the man within.” ~ Claudia Lady Bird Johnson ~
“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon – instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today.” ~ Dale Carnegie ~
“Let there be many windows to your soul, that all the glory of the world may beautify it.”
~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox ~
My pocket filofax contains lots of quotations. I started to copy it out again in case I should lose it. But I don't work hard enough at it.

Michel Houellebecq :
La société érotique-publicitaire où nous vivons s'attache à organiser le désir, à développer le désir dans des proportions inouïes, tout en maintenant la satisfaction dans le domaine de la sphère privée. Pour que la société fonctionne, pour que la compétition continue, il faut que le désir croisse, s'étende et dévore la vie des hommes
The erotic-publicity minded society in which we live endeavours to organise and develop desire to unprecedented levels, while maintaining satisfaction within the sphere of private life. So that society may function and competition persist, desire must increase, spread out and devour the lives of men
La società erotico-pubblicitaria in cui viviamo si adopera a organizzare il desiderio, a sviluppare il desiderio in proporzioni inaudite, mantenendo la soddisfazione nella sfera della vita privata. Perché la società funzioni, perché la competizione continui, bisogna che il desiderio cresca, si estenda e divori la vita degli uomini
La sociedad erótico-publicitaria en la que vivimos se afana en organizar el deseo, en desarrollar el deseo hasta proporciones inauditas, mientras mantiene la satisfacción en la esfera privada. Para que la sociedad funcione, para que la competición continúe, es necesario que el deseo crezca, se extienda y devore la vida de los hombres
Die erotisch öffentlich eingestellte Gesellschaft in der wir leben befasst sich damit, das Verlangen zu organisieren und zu unerreichter Größe zu steigern und hält dabei die Befriedigung immer im privaten Bereich. Damit diese Gesellschaft funktioniert und der Wettbewerb weiter bestehen kann, muss das Verlangen wachsen, sich ausbreiten und das Leben der Menschen verschlingen
A sociedade erótico-publicitária em que vivemos desdobra-se para organizar o desejo, para desenvolver o desejo de modo exagerado, mantendo a satisfação na esfera privada. Para que a sociedade funcione, para que a competição continue, é preciso fazer com que o desejo aumente, até que devore a vida dos homens
Giving a man a fish and he will have something to eat for a day; teaching a man to fish and he will have something to eat for a lifetime; giving a man religion and he will die praying for a fish to come to him

Honestly, there's no genuine truth, because what you might think as realism is just an illusion - we might now write a song about it...
No Quotation this time, but a story. Yesterday I read a very interesting article about street non-photography during night time.
I was intrigued to try it out and left my tripod, remote and lenses at home. I just picked my 50mm 1.4 lens and tried some night (non-)photography. While I was walking through the pedestrian zone of my hometown, I met Torsten, who was standing in the middle of the road.
He was accompanied by a big sports bag and a bottle of beer, selling his "revolutionary newspaper", a political science fiction romance.
In Torstens own words this novel contained suspence from the first to the last sentence and talked about aliens, religion, conspiracy, the UN and the WHO
......all on 5 handwritten pages.
He was selliing his literary debut for a discount price of 1 Euro.
I couldn't really force myself do buy a copy after reading the first sentence, but I gave him the Euro anyway and asked for his approval to take his picture instead.
So here it is, Torsten and his novel at 3200 iso on a monday evening in my first conscious non-photography shot. If you can read german and want to desperatly read torstens "book", give me a shout and I arrange contact with him.
I came across a few funny and silly Quotations, and I want to share with you.I hope their make you laugh.
“Human decency is not derived from religion. It precedes it.”
― Christopher Hitchens, God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything
Christopher Hitchens (Part 1)
A fellow photographer taught me these principles. She didn't use these words; I just condensed her concepts.
It took me four months to learn the first one after I got a new camera. I'm still chasing the second one...
Quotation from In The Flesh - Pink Floyd (The Wall)
Love this kind of look that said: "What a hell?"
Have a great Thursday my friends :)
After a long while in the shadowed stream of life, as we live on for half a century or more into adulthood, we keep forgetting that we won't be around for much longer, and by no surprise we cannot get away no matter what happens!
If you truly love someone, let it be known, because very often broken hearts succumb to sadness because of unspoken words.
Here's a line my dad always uses, he runs a farm and he often hires newcombers that spend more time nagging than working!:
‘’Since you people think it's everyone else's problem because you seem to be so perfect... why don't you perfect your own damn country and we'll come over, eh?"
Quotation from internet: "Pin-tails Whydah needs plenty of room to fly and perching in the open to keep their tails in good condition. Since they re-grow a new tail each season, a damaged feather is not cause for great concern."
art created from my photos
This image was posted for the 1/30/15 challenge at Digitalmania (www.flickr.com/groups/digitalmania/pool/) to use an affirmative quotation about art in images.
Also posted for the Feb 2015 challenge at The Hypothetical Awards (www.flickr.com/groups/1179479@N25/discuss/), theme: Passion for Photography, Love of Art.
I used "Art is Life. Life is Art" as my quotation for this image. The quote has been attributed to both Kahlil Gibran and Deiter Rot (or Roth.) Yoko Ono also said, “Art is my life and my life is art.”
Regardless of who said it, it has always been one of my favorite art quotations.
I used trees as symbols of life and the up-side-down trees as roots that go deep, beyond what is seen with the naked eye. The circle is symbolic of the life cycle. The gradual change from black and white realistic photo to colorful abstract art represents how an artist views the world, not as what is, but what can be.
NOTE: I replaced the image with a different version on 2/7/15. I thought the text obliterated some of the more interesting parts of the background and it was bothering me for several days, so I finally changed and reposted it. The image is the same; only the text size & placement has changed.

I was observing the Galactic center to search for microlensing event by B&C61cm telescope in Mt.John Observatory.
I exited from operation room to check the cloud in the sky.
When I saw the Southern sky,
I was afraid of the red-curtain over the Southern Horizon.
I need a little time to recognize what I was looking . It was Aurora!
Aurora is just on the Southern constellations.
I was delighted such dream view.

Socratessa 2000 asked, in a comment on this photo, if I could show the large version of the quotations I copy into my pocket filofax, so here is one double page - I opened it at random. I've uploaded it full size so that it can be read more easily if one presses L.
I really must get on with writing this - especially as I had a scare yesterday - I thought I'd dropped my pocket filofax in a shop, happily I'd left it on a table at home :)
And may we live in a world at peace and with the awareness of God's love in every sunset, every flower's unfolding petals, every baby's smile, every lover's kiss, and every wonderful, astonishing, miraculous beat of our heart.Best wishes!

When the creative impulse sweeps over you, grab it. You grab it and honor it and use it, because momentum is a rare gift. ~Justina Chen
