our opinion is the 

definitive opinion; 

But it isn't. 

And it isn't until 

you meet people out

that you learn that."

vivid expression of life."

epitaph he chose for his tombstone

"Birds have a way 

of putting things 

in perspective. 

They forge ahead and

what happens. 

No dwelling on the past, 

no regrets, sheer 

100% survival..

and beauty."

Striking Substitute

A  L  O  H  A !

 Isn't it funny

how life's shadows

can appear more solid

than the things that

cast them?

Shadows do catch the eye

but what are they really?

Just so much appearance

and always changing

at that.

 Shadows are

for emerging

out of

 Shadows should 

emphasize the

LIGHT.

For that is

their function.

Don't let the Striking

substitute for what

is Real.

The Dew of Little Things

A  L  O  H  A !

“I suddenly realized 

I was in California. 

warm, palmy air - 

air you can kiss

- and palms.” 

            Jack Kerouac

"In the sweetness of friendship 
let there be laughter, and 
sharing of pleasures. For in 
the dew of little things the heart 
finds its morning and is refreshed."
                     Khalil Gibran

"Where light and shadow 

fall on your subject - 

that is the essence of 

expression and art 

through photography."

         Scott Bourne

“If you can be content 

with who you are, 

how you look and 

then try every day to 

make a difference 

to someone else, then 

it leads to a wonderful life. 

It’s a shame more humans 

can’t grasp that fact.”
