Answering

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Like the moon

I have learned

to be beautiful

in darkness.

Collette O'Mahony

Look at the bright side

of life and the bright

side will look at you.

The reflections we send

out always return.

     Ron Baratono

From far, from eve and morning,

And yon twelve-winded sky,

This stuff of life to knit me

Blew hither: here am I.

     E. M. Forster

Angels descending,

bring from above,

echoes of mercy,

whispers of love.     

Fanny J. Crosby

There is an energy field

between humans. And,

when we reach out

in passion, it is met

with an answering passion

and changes the

relationship forever.

    Rollo May

And Pet Pals!

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.

Truth: Let It Sink In, Repeat

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Repeat the truth so that

the dull can grasp it!

Repeat the truth with

the speed of a woodpecker’s

beak making holes

in tree trunks!

  Mehmet Murat ildan

The only way to live is

by accepting each minute

as an unrepeatable miracle.

    Jack Kornfield

You cannot be

a Big person

with a

Small heart.

  T D Jakes

The less you open your heart,

the more your heart suffers.

Deepak Chopra

I have a memory

like an elephant.

I remember every

elephant

I’ve ever met.

Elephants don’t know

It isn't what you have

or who you are, or

where you are or what

you are doing that makes

you happy or unhappy.

It is what you think about.

 Dale Carnegie

Green calm below,

blue quietness above.

  John Greenleaf Whittier

Wishing you the greatest

power of all,

which is to see love,

or a call for love,

in everything.

Dr Margaret Aranda

"Doing-O!"

This week BOTH ducks are drinking.

As are some of the

fish presumably.

I gotta shoot more HUMAN

drinking photos before next Tuesday!

It's funny how humans can

wrap their mind around

things and fit them into

their version of reality.

Humans see

what they want to see.

No Dark Hour

A L O H A From Honolulu!

This is no dark hour;

this is the dawn

before we

remember

who we are.

    Artur Davis

Following the bend in the river and staying on your own path means that you are on the right track. Don't let anyone deter you from that. Eartha Kitt

I find that moving

keeps me optimistic,

the idea of what's

going to be down the

road a bit or around

the next bend.

     Conor Oberst

Real difficulties

can be overcome;

it is only the

imaginary ones that

are unconquerable.

  Theodore N. Vail

Not a Mural - but not bad

Very little is needed

to make a happy life;

it is all within

yourself, in your

way of thinking.

     Marcus Aurelius

Never bend your head.

Always hold it high.

Look the world straight

in the eye.

Proud

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Every path,

every street in the world is your

walking meditation path.

Nhat Hanh

Candid shot on the fly. 

I never want to make anyone uncomfortable,

though anything/anyone visible to the

public is legally fair game for a photo.

So I am expert at swinging

around like a tourist appearing to 

take random shots, 

grabbing a snap on the fly. . . 

occasionally yielding:

A Photograph. 

VERY Proud of this young man.

Son of my good friends - Ohana really -

Genshu Price.

Dad Mike suggested that G collect deposit bottles

and cans to help fund his college. (G is 13) 

Well, Genshu took it to the extreme the way energetic, smart, young people do when supported. 

Bottles4College is a 501-c 

Nonprofit that has partners at schools,

markets, and restaurants around our island!

Mom Maria Price (a WONDERFUL friend and

incidentally EXCELLENT Oahu Realtor)

took this photo on Friday Oct 1

by the Queen Liliuokalani statue

at Hawaii's State Capitol after

Genshu was recognized with an

award by the legislature! 

Follow your path, 

and let the people talk.

Dante Alighieri

Pixie, get the dust buster!

Be proud of every scar

on your heart,

each one holds a

lifetime's worth of lessons.
