In the twinkle of the morning star...

“Our individuality is all, all, that we have. There are those who barter it for security, those who repress it for what they believe is the betterment of the whole society, but blessed in the twinkle of the morning star is the one who nurtures it and rides it in, in grace and love and wit, from peculiar station to peculiar station along life's bittersweet route.” ― Tom Robbins, Jitterbug Perfume

All things are impermanent..

“If there is beauty, there must be ugliness;

If there is right, there must be wrong.

Wisdom and ignorance are complementary,

And illusion and enlightenment cannot be separated.

This is an old truth, don't think it was discovered recently.

"I want this, I want that"

Is nothing but foolishness.

I'll tell you a secret -

"All things are impermanent!”

― Ryokan, One Robe, One Bowl: The Zen Poetry of Ryōkan

👋... here are a few things I look for when taking photos: the in between moments, beauty in the ordinary, the pauses, the spaces...

What do you look for in a photographer?

1 – Image quality/style? The quality of a photographer's portfolio should be the first thing that captures your attention. ...

2 – Personality? You put a lot of trust and faith in a photographer. ...

3 – Value for money/cost? ...

4 – Experience? ...

5 – Recommendations/Word of Mouth?.

Fleeting moments...

“To love someone fiercely, to believe in something with your whole heart, to celebrate a fleeting moment in time, to fully engage in a life that doesn’t come with guarantees – these are risks that involve vulnerability and often pain. But, I’m learning that recognizing and leaning into the discomfort of vulnerability teaches us how to live with joy, gratitude and grace.” — Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection
