Quotes<\/strong><\/p>\n

“A camera, like a guitar, is just a box with a hole in it. Until it is placed in the hands of a true artist, it will not make a music, only noise.<\/em>” — Tim Mantoani<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Street photography requires patience. More often than not I come home with nothing, but it\u2019s the times that I do come home with a photo that will be with me forever, that makes it so worthwhile. Don\u2019t feel like you have to take street photos just on city streets. Street photos can be taken anywhere\u2026 there are great street styled photos to be taken at the beach or out in the countryside. Street photography is about searching, finding and reacting…<\/em>” — Jesse Marlow<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Dig in, follow your instincts and trust your curiosity.<\/em>” — Susan Meiselas<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am taking a class on combining text and images, for example to make a book. Our first assignment was for “Inspiration” and was to “Go for a walk and record what you see . . . in short fragments, poems or prose. Take photographs as you go. …” All of these were taken with a cell phone.<\/p>\n

Here are the results: <\/p>\n

Rain has stopped, but clouds remain.
\nDamp and cool, possible frost tonight.
\nSlippery leaves in yellow and red cover the ground,
\nBrought down by rain and wind.
\nFall has arrived.<\/p>\n

The wind blows
\nThe leave rustle,
\nThe water ripples,
\nThrough the trees.<\/p>\n

The water roars.
\nHigh after the storm,
\nIt flows brown-green
\nWith bits of white where ripples disturb the flow.
\nDown to the Bay
\nTo mix with the ocean.
\nNo intent \u2013 just a natural process.<\/p>\n

Yellow leaves of fall
\nRecall forsythia flowers of spring.<\/p>\n
