Quotes
“I often think of that rare fulfilling joy, when I am in the presence of some wonderful alignment of events. Where the light, the colour, the shapes and the balance all interlock so beautifully that I feel truly overwhelmed by the wonder of it.” – Charlie Waite
“To me, pictures are like blintzes – ya gotta get ‘em while they’re hot.” – Weegee
“Creativity with portraits involves the invocation of a state of rapport when only a camera stands between two people…mutual vulnerability and mutual trust.” – Minor White

Went out on Sunday for wet dead flowers. You can find visual poetry and beauty anywhere and anytime if you just look.
Thanks for the Instagram link
Glad it was helpful and that someone is actually looking at the blog.
The visual poetry of the dead flower is appreciated. Thanks
Thanks for commenting.
What a striking juxtaposition between the sentiment evoked by the quotes from Weegee and Minor White. Lots of inspiration for getting out with the camera. Really like your flower images.
I hadn’t seen how those quotes opposed each other, I just liked them both. But looking at the work of the two photographers, it shouldn’t be a surprise that they come from opposite poles. Thanks for pointing that out.
