EARLY MORNING, SETTING MOON

Early Morning, Setting Moon

Dobbins Farm

Upstate South Carolina

The morning wind
spreads its fresh smell.
We must get up and take that in,
that wind that lets us live. Breathe
before it's gone.

Rumi

VOICES OF INSPIRATION

When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence. ~ Ansel Adams

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see. ~ Henry David Thoreau

The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world. ~ Henry Miller

You don't take a photograph, you make it. ~ Ansel Adams

The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera. ~ Dorothea Lange

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. ~ Confucius

The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. ~ Marcel Proust

The precision of naming takes away from the uniqueness of seeing. ~ Pierre Bonnard

One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things. ~ Henry Miller

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. ~ Albert Einstein

People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child—our own two eyes. All is a miracle. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. ~ William Blake
