Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter. ~Ansel Adams



A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into. ~Ansel Adams



There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer. ~Ansel Adams



The photograph itself doesn't interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality. ~Henri Cartier Bresson



Man's heart away from nature becomes hard. ~Standing Bear



How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains! ~John Muir

Wow, Slyvia, your pictures are extremely beautiful today. I love the sailing ships, the macro of a rose so pure and white, coupled with the beautiful quotes, how very wonderful!

Funny how Ansel always took landscapes and forgot that there is a various amount of people in the photos too. Sometimes.

Sam said...

*sigh* so lovely! The quotes by those incredible photographers are great too - hope you're having a lovely week!

That's so true isn't it? That is so well phrased.

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
