The Poetic Photograph

love letter

A hundred hearts would be too few
to carry all my love for you.
~Author Unknown~

Story

A photographic image creates a story that was never intended to be told. It is a lie telling the truth, a yes and no at the same time, an is and an is not. ~Ernst Haas~

listen

The earth has music for those who listen.
~William Shakespeare~

Watercolor

What a splendid thing watercolor is to express atmosphere and distance, so that the figure is surrounded by air and can breathe in it.
~ Vincent van Gogh~

Original lensbaby. Reminds me of a watercolor.

Trees

There is always Music amongst the trees in the Garden, but our hearts must be very quiet to hear it. ~Minnie Aumonier~

True Beauty

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross~

Illusion

Photography, as we all know, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world.
~Arnold Newman~

simplicity

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
~ Leonardo da Vinci ~

reflection

You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.
~George Bernard Shaw~

Float

When the tides of life turn against you and the current upsets your boat, don't waste those tears on what might have been, just lie on your back and float.
