Out There

A L O H A From Honolulu!







Different times, different directions,
changing seasons, yield different,
changing sights. 

Photography is an austere
and blazing poetry of the real.
    Ansel Adams









Four Palms

Photography deals exquisitely
with appearances, but nothing
is what it appears to be.
    Duane Michals











Taking pictures is like tiptoeing
into the kitchen late at night
and stealing Oreo cookies.
  Diane Arbus







The camera is an instrument
that teaches people how to
see without a camera.
     Dorothea Lange






If you are out there shooting,
things will happen for you.
If you’re not out there,
you’ll only hear about it. Jay Maisel






It’s one thing to
make a picture
of what a person
looks like,
it’s another thing to
make a portrait of
who they are.
Paul Caponigro

Powerful Gentle

 A   L   O   H   A  !

Without a rich heart, 

wealth is an ugly beggar. 

Ralph Waldo Emerson









true change of heart 

is much more powerful 

than a change of mind.

                      Kyle Bryant







The sail, 

the play of its pulse 

so like our own lives: 

so thin and yet 

so full of life, 

so noiseless when 

it labors hardest, so 

noisy and impatient 

when least effective.      

Henry David Thoreau














One word frees us
of all the weight
and pain of life:
The word is "love.
Sophocles

My Friends Call It Self-Confidence

A  L  O  H  A !

"In meteorology, a virga is an observable streak or shaft of precipitation falling from a cloud that evaporates or sublimates before reaching the ground.[1] A shaft of precipitation that does not evaporate before reaching the ground is a precipitation shaft. At high altitudes the precipitation falls mainly as ice crystals before melting and finally evaporating. . ."

I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.
Walt Disney






















Perfect Palm Shadow
When the shadow of a tree is bent, 
straighten the tree, not the shadow.
African Proverb












I have great faith in fools - 
my friends call it self-confidence.

Gladden

A  L  O  H  A !
"Children see things 
very well sometimes - 
and idealists even better."
          Lorraine Hansberry








"Some people want it 
to happen, some wish it 
would happen, others 
make it happen."
             Michael Jordan








"Life is short. 
We don't have much time to 
gladden the hearts of those who 
walk this way with us. 
So, be swift to love and 
make haste to be kind.”
                    Henri-Frederic Amiel

Through A Crystal

A  L  O  H  A !

 “Nothing is the truth nor a lie.
Everything depends on the color
Of the crystal through 
which one sees it”
    Pedro Calderón de la Barca












“Because one believes in oneself, 
one doesn't try to convince others. 
Because one is content with oneself, 
one doesn't need others' approval. 
Because one accepts oneself, 
the whole world
accepts him or her.”
        Lao Tzu










"We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox."
                         Nicholas Sparks

Sunlight On Your Face

A  L  O  H  A !
Don't judge each day 
by the harvest 
you reap, but by 
the seeds you plant. 
            Robert Louis Stevenson










“There is strong shadow 
where there is much light.” 
                Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

[like politically in my US?]











" It must have been cold 
there in my shadow, to 
never have sunlight 
on your face."
        Bette Midler
