heART of Seeing

 

I was inspired by  Kim Manley Ort  and Nathan Wirth  to come up with a visual CV, where I try to answer some questions with a series of images instead of words. It was a fun and enlightening exercise, to look within in this manner. It was not an easy task as the same image could have answered several different questions, but for now these are probably close to it. Who Are You? Why Photography? What Is Your Trademark Photography Style? What Truly Inspires You? Where Do You Go When You Close Your Eyes? Where Is Home For You? How Would You Describe Your Lifestyle? What Makes A Great Shot? How Do You View The World? What Is An Important Lesson You've Learned?

People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child, our own two eyes. All is miracle. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation. ~ Chuang Tzu To be nobody but yourself  in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else  means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. ~ E.E. Cummings Blessed are the cracked, for they shall let in the light. ~  Groucho Marx
