JACK LARSON PHOTOGRAPHY
Time moves faster than I can handle. It seems to accelerate as the years go by. Happy New Year everyone. Continue to pray for peace for our fragile world.
My New Year's resolution for myself on Am3 for the coming year is not so much to become a better photographer as to become a better person, a person who is kinder and more supportive of each of you. (Although, as I said on an earlier post, I still hope to become a better photographer :)) )
@Claudia: Actually the female Cardinal is a beautiful bird; just couldn't resist being a smart ass :))
@Lorraine: You know the drama queen pose - the back of your hand to your forehead :))
@Susan: As they say, it's amazing how much our luck improves as we work harder :))
@MARIANA: Maybe not drunk, but definitely on a high :))
@Judy: One of the great things about moving a year ago was getting rid of an unbelievable amount of stuff. I find that as I clear out and simplify the external trappings of my life, there seems to be much more interior space. Japanese homes and Japanese gardens have long been a primary metaphor for me. And when it comes to clearing out space, I purposely leave significant blank spaces on my calendar. Too much agenda is as demonic as too much stuff. Part of the appeal of the desert Southwest is its simplicity. Simplicity - such a worthy goal for our photography as well as our lives.
@Evelyne Dubos: Jay Maisel, the great photographer and teacher, said, "If you want to become a better photographer, become a better person." No-one embodies that more than you do!
@Michael Rawluk: Excellent approach.
@SOUL AFLAME: Love does indeed increase beauty!!
@Dulcie: That speed lies behind my top three resolutions for 2010. Resolution No. 1 - simplify. Resolution No. 2 - simplify. Resolution No. 3 - simplify.
