When we step lightly, quietly through our landscape, we are more likely to discover beauty and truth than when we stomp through angrily, aggressively, or immutably.
Determination can be calm, thoughtful, and serene.
Ze nik edozer gauza egingo neuke
Zagozen lekura heldu arte
Bizitzari ez deutsat eskatzen gehiago
Zugaz dantzan egitea baino
Ze nik edozer gauza egingo neuke
Zure ondorarte heldu arte
Gorputzari ez deutsat eskatzen gehiago
Gau osoan dantzan egitea baino
I'm not a film photography purist, I do use my digital camera for things like: event photography and bird photography. Nobody has the time or money to have thousands of shots of those things on film.
It helps, also, to have a digital camera you don't hate. Personally I never loved my Canon DSLRs in the past; but really enjoy my Nikons.
Here's a photo of a banana slug from Pacifica.
I always have a small film camera for a 'B roll', tho.
"free" time: when we're away from the workplace, with friends, and doing something adventurous and fun and exciting -- this is a memorable, golden time that warms our heart as it creates memories we are determined to repeat.
Here's one of my favorite photos. Taken in South Dakota on September 2013. This was a portion of the Badlands, one of the most beautiful areas in America in my opinion. I highly recommend a visit if you've not gone yet.
Mañana quizás procuréis la destrucción de vuestro mundo. Mañana quizás cantaréis en el Paraíso sobre las humeantes ruinas de vuestras ciudades del mundo. Pero esta noche yo quisiera pensar en un hombre, un solo individuo, un hombre sin nombre ni país, un hombre a quien respeto porque no tiene absolutamente nada en común con vosotros: yo mismo. Esta noche meditaré sobre lo que yo soy.
Water water, everywhere on the earth. It's so "common" that we take it for granted, but water is precious, so very necessary for life, and extraordinarily beautiful -- I love the way the sunlight dances across the surface of this clean, clear mountain like.
After a day out and about, it's good to come home. Life feels most balanced when there's a little of each: adventuring outside one's doors, and then returning to them.
The stream flows gently, quietly, peacefully down through the meadow. It is slow not because it tortuously winds through its landscape, but because it simply doesn't choose to hurry. There's simply too much to see, and that takes time.
