The Life and Breath of the Photographer...

"It is all very beautiful and magical here---a quality which cannot be described.

You have to live it and breathe it, let the sun bake it into you.

The skies and land are so enormous, and the detail so precise and exquisite

that where you are you are isolated in a glowing world

between the macro and the micro, where everything is sidewise under and over you,

and the clocks stopped long ago."

Ansel Adams

Sydney Sails...Black and White

"Photography is more than a medium 

for factual communication of ideas.

It is a creative art."

Ansel Adams

It's a Maze!

"I have a theory that when you're lost on a path,

go back to the beginning and try the maze again."

Amanda Seales

For Whom the Bell Tolls...

"No man is an island,

Entire of itself.

Each is a piece of contentment,

As part of the main.

If a clod be washed away by the sea,

Europe is the less.

As well as if a promontory were.

As well as if a manor of thine own

Or of thine friend's were.

Each man's death diminishes me,

For I am involved in mankind.

Therefore, send not to know

For whom the bell tolls,

It tolls for thee."

John Donne
