Making the Commonplace

A   L   O   H   A  !
 " The day after tomorrow
 is the third day 
of the rest of 
your life. "

   
 George Carlin











" To give pleasure
 to a single heart
 by a single act
 is better than
 a thousand heads
 bowing in prayer. "

Mahatma Gandhi









" Anything that excites me
 for any reason,
 I will photograph;

not searching
for unusual subject matter,

but making the commonplace
unusual. "

Edward Weston

Da doggie's cute, but is he waiting, guarding the trash can, or tied out for trash? Would Pixie Kitty like him? DrumMajor

I do enjoy your shots! I believe we think along the same shooting patterns too...!

Hilary said...

I like the way Weston thinks.. and how you express that your own self.

Continue to like the Western quote. And yes, it surely is much more difficult to take a picture of weed, than of a Molotov-Cocktail.

Please have you all a good Wednesday.
