“Simplicity is nature’s first step, and the last of art.”

I found a stash of old Simplicity sewing patterns in a box of stuff I got from an auction! SO fun to see these things! Mom used to make all our clothes when we were kids. Made me remember the look of the patterns and the smell of a fabric shop!

A shot from Vesterøy in Hvaler, Norway. Was looking for a minimalistic, colorful scene and I found this old rusted metal square and I had my shot. Shot with a 10 stop Hitech Firecrest filter and my Sony A7R :)

A simple song will do

If I were using watercolors, this is how I would want my painting to look. I wanted to capture the softness and rolling beauty of the colors and forms in the Palouse. I had no paints or brushes . . . only my camera.

Be content with what you have, rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you. ~Lao Tzu

Simplicité en tant que fleur

I was entranced by the late afternoon light shining on this one small honeysuckle bloom and the vine reaching up to it. Sometimes the very simple things provide beauty.

Nature teaches us simplicity and contentment, because in its presence we realize we need very little to be happy.

Life you had, is the life we have

The time you were, is the time we are

Simplicity of life which we are enjoying, is what you lost.

~Henry David Thoreau

Have a fantastic Friday my friends!

Simplicity is the ultimate sophastication

I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.

I'm in the middle of watching Bourdain's Parts Unknown in the DRC, and it reminded me of my trip to Tibet. The DRC is one of two trips (with the KKH in Pakistan being the other) that I'm not sure I'll ever be able to do. When I was younger, I watched TV shows about the bush pilots and more recently followed a couple's journey traversing the country. I can only hope the situation in the world improves and I can do both; if not, I am so happy, heartbroken, and stirred to be able to travel with Bourdain tonight.

“As I have practiced it, photography produces pleasure by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the camera. A picture is produced. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs.”

From my solo trip to West Michigan over the July 4th weekend. I don't know, I just liked how simple and calm this shot is and the slight reflection that stretched across the water. Kind of a reflection on how I felt that weekend.
