“A photograph shouldn’t be just a picture, it should be a philosophy.”― Amit Kalantri

 

“The world before us is a postcard, and I imagine the story we are writing on it.”   ― Mary E. Pearson

“I take a picture, but it’s not about who is in the picture or the background of it. It’s about the memories and meanings it holds.”   ― Kayla Davis

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”  ― Ansel Adams

“There are no bad pictures; that’s just how your face looks sometimes.”  ― Abraham Lincoln

“You don’t make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”  ― Ansel Adams

“When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in Black and white, you photograph their souls!”  ― Ted Grant

“All photographs are memento mori. 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

Time Warp

I wouldn’t know a space-time continuum or warp core breach if they got into bed with me. Patrick Stewart

Have you ever traveled to a place that made you think you had entered another far distant past?  Consider me warped!!

Definition of Car: A car (or automobile) is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transportation. Most definitions of cars say that they run primarily on roads, seat one to eight people, have four wheels, and mainly transport people rather than goods.

“I did a week in Havana. The colors, the music, the beautiful men and the cars! I love vintage and antique cars and own a couple myself.” – Megalyn Echikunwoke

“There was a single blue line of crayon drawn across every wall in the house. What does it mean? I asked. A pirate needs the sight of the sea, he said and then he pulled his eye patch down and turned and sailed away.”
― Brian Andreas

I thought at first it was a statue.  However, very quickly I learned it was not!  I’m often never fooled by this type of shenanigans.  However, in the end, it was well worth the $5 I gave him to perform for me. And, matey, perform he did.  Truly a pirate at heart.  From one pirate to another!

“I’m no longer a child and I still want to be, to live with the pirates. Because I want to live forever in wonder. The difference between me as a child and me as an adult is this and only this: when I was a child, I longed to travel into, to live in wonder. Now, I know, as much as I can know anything, that to travel into wonder is to be wonder. So it matters little whether I travel by plane, by rowboat, or by book. Or, by dream. I do not see, for there is no I to see. That is what the pirates know. There is only seeing and, in order to go to see, one must be a pirate.”
― Kathy Acker

Miku

Miku is another name that is short yet definitely makes a mark. This name is of Japanese roots, and it has the lovely meaning of “beautiful sky”. 

I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness; I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more.   ~~Anne Frank

“And yet day and night meet fleetingly at twilight and dawn,” he said, lowering his voice again and narrowing his eyes and moving his head a quarter of an inch closer to hers. “And their merging sometimes affords the beholder the most enchanted moments of all the twenty four hours. A sunrise or sunset can be ablaze with brilliance and arouse all the passion, all the yearning, in the soul of the beholder.”
― Mary Balogh

“HEARTWORK
Each day is born with a sunrise
and ends in a sunset, the same way we
open our eyes to see the light,
and close them to hear the dark.
You have no control over
how your story begins or ends.
But by now, you should know that
all things have an ending.
Every spark returns to darkness.
Every sound returns to silence.
And every flower returns to sleep
with the earth.
The journey of the sun
and moon is predictable.
But yours,
is your ultimate
ART.”
― Suzy Kassem
