I love you all but my creativity gets killed by technology so I have to go for a while. Social media hiatus. See you when I see you. :]
“Art is both love and friendship, and understanding; the desire to give. It is not charity, which is the giving of Things, it is more than kindness which is the giving of self. It is both the taking and giving of beauty, the turning out to the light the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit. It is the recreation on another plane of the realities of the world; the tragic and wonderful realities of earth and men, and of all the inter-relations of these.” — Ansel Adams

Also see why memory is not a recording device. (via explore-blog)

This photograph really connected for me tonight. Can’t say for sure why. But it evokes a certain sense of place, some texture or visual aroma, that I’ve only ever felt in Europe, and that I deeply miss.

this reminds me of something. it feels like a memory, and not of the moment when I took it. something much older. there is some echo of my childhood or ancestry in this somehow.
I hope I can write letters this good to my kids when the time comes. -
