hospital local stroke
That local hospital isn't a stroke center, but we have one here, and we have a telemedicine connection.
famous mean people
Being famous doesn't mean much. Sure, you get photos, money, and popularity. But when you come to what people really want, they just want you to look bad.
animals best captivity convinced lives putting rest taking wild
I'm not convinced that taking these animals that were from the wild and putting them into captivity for the rest of their lives is in their best interest.
friendship point
There is no point in international friendship when the world doesn't care.
convince-us serious-person fire
Larry Schwarm's photographs of fire on the prairie are so compelling that I cannot imagine any later photographer trying to do better. His pictures convince us that seemingly far away events are close by, relevant to any serious person's life.
mistake heart imagination
Always remember deep in your heart that all is well and everything is unfolding as it should. There are no mistakes anywhere, at any time. What appears to be wrong is simply your own false imagination. That's all.
photography silence compelling
Among the most compelling truths in some of the early photographs is their implication of silence.
photography space littles
Little wonder that we. . .find the old pictures of openness - pictures usually without any blur, and made by what seems a ritual of patience - wonderful. They restore to us knowledge of a place we seek but lose in the rush of our search. Though to enjoy even the pictures, much less the space itself, requires that we be still longer than is our custom.
realization way keeping-quiet
There is only one I actually. That I is Consciousness. When you follow the personal I to the source, it turns into the universal I, which is Consciousness. Begin to catch yourself. begin to realize your divine nature. You do this by keeping quiet. The fastest way to realization is to keep quiet.
photography community may
Your own photography is never enough. Every photographer who has lasted has depended on other peoples pictures too - photographs that may be public or private, serious or funny, but that carry with them a reminder of community.
jigsaw-puzzles effort pieces
The experience of life that you and I have is pretty much a jigsaw puzzle in the box: Day-to-day experiences of disconnected pieces that don't seem to justify the efforts we make each day.
photography commitment rocks
The thing that keeps you scrambling over the rocks, risking snakes, and swatting at the flies is the view. It is only your enjoyment of and commitment to what you see, not to what you rationally understand, that balances the otherwise absurd investment of labor.
photography achievement doe
When photographers get beyond copying the achievements of others, or just repeating their own accidental first successes, they learn that they do not know where in the world they will find pictures. Nobody does. Each photograph that works is a revelation to its supposed creator.
