Yourself With Wonder

A L O H A From Honolulu!

 If you have a strong
purpose in life, you
don't have to be pushed.
Your passion will
drive you there.
Roy T. Bennett




People will change
what they do when
they feel accepted
for who they are.

Adam Grant



A photograph has picked up a
fact of life, and that fact
will live forever.
Raghu Rai 





Ultimately photography is
about who you are.
It’s the truth in
relation to yourself.
And seeking truth
becomes a habit.
   Leonard Freed



People travel to wonder at
the heights of mountains,
at the huge waves of the sea,
at the long courses
of the rivers, at the vast
compass of the ocean,
and yet they pass by
themselves without wondering. Saint Augustine

Love You,

Wonder is a delightful state of being, but no, I don't wonder at myself. Ever. Unless you count the times I wonder how I can be so silly/clumsy...

I love the Freed quote about what photography is. I kind of understand it intuitively but cannot really explain it except I know it is true. There are all sorts of people out there who are not professional photographers who take photographs that capture things.

I love the photo of the two blondes. The bell bottom jeans like I haven't seen since the early 70's. I'd love to know what they looking and smiling at. A great street photography photo you took.

Lovely street shots, I love seeing the people and guessing who lives there and probably who are visiting! Beautiful flowers always, but what is that lovely one in the 2nd photo? Nature's artwork at play. Aloha Karen.

It's always a pleasure to see your pictures and read the quotes!
