Sweet Saturday Surreality

A L O H A From Honolulu!

I am forever chasing light.
Light turns the ordinary
into the magical.
Trent Parke

Photograph the world as it is.
Nothing’s more interesting
than reality.
Mary Ellen Mark

Once you reach deeper and

deeper into your reality,

you approach closer and

closer its surreal essence. *

Talismanist Giebra

My life is shaped by

the urgent need to wander

and observe, and my

camera is my passport.

Steve McCurry

Contentment is natural wealth. Socrates

The opinion of 10,000 people

is of no value if none of them

knows anything about the subject. Marcus Aurelius

The most important thing

is to enjoy your life

--to be happy--

it's all that matters. Audrey Hepburn

* "Surreality is the quality of being bizarre and dreamlike. It can also mean having the disorienting, hallucinatory quality of a dream.

Surreal is often used to describe something that is not real or that seems too strange or fantastic to be true. It can also be used to describe something that is so extraordinary or unexpected that it seems to defy the laws of reality.

Surreal is neither negative nor positive. It can easily go either way."

Gold Trumpet Good Dreaming

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Let your gratitude

smother your fear

Golden Trumpet Tree

You are the light of the world,

when your compassion radiates

and pervades the world...

...When your mind is in higher

consciousness and heart is

full with compassion...

Amit Ray

I think good dreaming is
what leads to good photographs.
Wayne Miller

The beauty you see in me

is a reflection of you.

Rumi

To take a photograph is to

participate in another person’s

(or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability,

mutability. Precisely by slicing out

this moment and freezing it,

all photographs testify to

time’s relentless melt.

Susan Sontag

Gazing on beautiful things
acts on my soul.
Michelangelo

Happiness Held

A L O H A From Honolulu!

So imagine

that the lovely moon

is playing just for you-

everything makes music

if you really want it to.

Giles Andreae

A red rose is not selfish

because it wants to

be a red rose.

It would be horribly selfish if

it wanted all the other flowers

in the garden to be

both red and roses.

Oscar Wilde

Happiness held

is the seed;

Happiness shared

is the flower.
John Harrigan

The face is more honest

than the mouth will ever be.
Daphne Orebaugh

A face is like the

outside of a house, and

most faces, like most houses,

give us an idea of what we

can expect to find inside.

Loretta Young

Simply Think Like Tina

A L O H A From Honolulu!

There are things

we can only

learn in struggle.

Joel Osteen

The most beautiful people
we have known are those
who have known defeat, known
suffering, known struggle, known
loss, and have found their
way out of those depths.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
