There and Back

Aloha, Eye!


Let's go on a journey of perception

                        together. . .


"When I create art,
it's like holding hands 
with God."

Robert Mapplethorpe




"What is art
 but a way of seeing?"

Thomas Berger









'The eye sees only
 what the mind is prepared to comprehend.’

Henri Bergson







‘When the doors of perception are cleansed,
 man will see things as they truly are,
 infinite.’

Blake









‘Things don’t change. 
You change your way of looking,
 that’s all.’

Carlos Castaneda

'You can observe a lot just by watching.’

Yogi Berra


Thanks for looking my way!

So true Cloudia.

Your title today made me think of my mother who, when asked where she was going by us children would say - there and back to see how far it is.

the walking man said...

Mapplethorpe had it right!

Charles Gramlich said...

I got a kick out of the Mapplethorpe quote. Considering the stuff I've seen from him I wouldn't think it was god's hand he was holding.

Maude Lynn said...

I love that Mapplethorpe quote!

I was missing blogging this week, I mean looking and commenting.
You know how I smile when open your blog and see the first photo? And the smile gets wider and wider as long as I roll though the posts. Thank you Cloudia, so much!
