Two cormorants sleeping on a river rock during the rain.

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.

After selecting the quotation by Tagore, these words came to me:

 

when our steps are suddenly broken

and our climb is thus impaired

may we embrace this time

to travel within

to pause, reflect and begin

 

a g a i n . . .

  

“Where the mind is without fear

and the head is held high;

Where knowledge is free;

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments

by narrow domestic walls;

Where words come out from the depth of truth;

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way

in the dreary desert sand of dead habit;

Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever widening thought and action....

into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake.”

 

~ Rabindranath Tagore ~

引頸期盼已久的「QUOTATION No.4」 終將於7月27日正式発売,這回表紙配色為低彩度的粉紅系,在店架平台上相當醒目突出。據說從下一期起封面設計又會展現全新面貌,維持每兩期變換一次風格的策略,可說是十分懂得掌握讀者的嘗鮮心理。像我這種創意麻瓜,假如沒有定期補充「QUOTATION」這劑營養針的話,後果簡直不堪設想。比方這一期便介紹了活躍於海外的10位日本各領域創作者,其中至少有八成以上都是一些我從未聽聞的新銳,包括Junko Shimizu、Kenta Torimoto、Noriko Okaku、Sayaka Yamamoto、Yu Yamaguchi等人…而另外國際最前線單元,柏林特別報導的最夯創意據點及話題人物更是熱得發燙,不由得暗暗佩服蜂賀亨情報採集的一流功力。本期最後還專訪了主事操刀「PIN-UP」、「SUPERSUPER」兩本文化刊物視覺的芸術總監;真的不是我偏心愛敲邊鼓,而是QUOTATION實在太精彩。

I found these funny quotations and wanted to share these with you. I hope it makes you laugh.Have a wonderful day Everyone!

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...

Plants stay alive in any climate needing light rays, flourish within windy days, sparkling at sunlight, often wondering how artists get to draw such splendour.

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.”

At the corner end of my muddled garden glee.

There, I saw a couple of dandelions hosting a bee.

 

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 :)

Designed as part of a international postcard exchange in the U.K.

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.

When everything burns down, love can indeed survive and flame up no matter what...

I realized that If I had to choose,

I would rather have birds

than airplanes.

 

~ Charles Lindbergh

 

“The more I live, the more I learn. The more I learn, the more I realize, the less I know.”

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.

Aug 1999.

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.

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!

Serious art is born from serious play.

Serendipity is visiting again! Wanted to get away from the "casino" images and back to wild life (an oxymoron here?). This piece reminds me of a burst of nature. I love how certain images imply immediate words and reactions to those words . . . how my mind wanders, holding hands with those words, walking down unknown paths in my mind.

 

HOWEVER, look what quotations came up for me today! References, quite coincidentally, to my last post of the casino, high in the sky!

 

“Spirit has given us a wonderful window into the very ancient past of Mars. It was a violent place, a place where meteorite impacts, volcanic explosions happened frequently, where hot stuff was raining from the sky.” ~ Steve Squyres ~

 

“You're benefiting from the explosion of the casinos. They give artists chances to be seen in new markets, and the casinos can pay a good amount of money to bring in these acts.” ~ Gary Bongiovanni ~

 

I don't necessarily agree with the latter statement, but it's certainly food for thought! I guess, as artists, we must all get used to exposure, along with the explosions which occur in our minds!

 

I think I'm going to BURST with new ideas for the day! Have a wonderfully explosive week, my friends!

 

“Grant me some wild expressions, Heavens, or I shall burst.” ~ George Farquhar ~

The desire to create is of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. ~Elder Uchtdorf

More apt in a lot of cases than that meaningless phrase "Sorry for your loss".

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
