…the clearing in the still center of becoming, the track on which the centered person moves – it whispers, “Realize me.” But no sooner is it glimpsed than it is gone.

weekly photo challenge: quest
thursday’s special: pick a word
Together with my Roget’s International Thesaurus, I selected these following images for September’s “pick a word” challenge…
can a journal be populated with words? can words inhabit a journal?
nature, by her very nature is time sensitive
words and letters are often very companionable
love these burgeoning plants that grow alongside a local trail
clandestine…walking through an alleyway wondering what is hidden behind those locked gates
Hopefully I will be forgiven for only including one color image for this Lost in Translation’s photo challenge.
reflections
…instead of a coherent personality that stretches back in an unbroken line to a first memory and looks forward to an indefinite future, we discover a self ridden with gaps and ambiguities. Who “I am” appears coherent only because of the monologue we keep repeating, editing, censoring, and embellishing in our heads.
the remembered present
Perception is never purely in the present – it has to draw on experiences of the past; … ‘the remembered present.’ We all have detailed memories of how things have previously looked and sounded, and these memories are recalled and admixed with every new perception.

engaged…but with whom?
engrossed
pursued by relentless and insistent desires
mall fishing
Street Photography Assignment: Fishing…identifying an interesting background (traffic signs, billboards, leading lines) and create a juxtaposition with a subject who walks into the frame.
The image with the child running as if the mannequin is pointing in the direction he should go is my favorite of the four. What are your thoughts about “mall fishing”?
black & white sunday: traces of the past
Edward Delaney’s “Famine”
The Great Hunger was a period of mass starvation, disease, and emigration
in Ireland between 1845 and 1852.

autumn’s messenger
What you want to acquire, you should dare to acquire by any means. What you want to see, even though it is with difficulty, you should see. You should not let it pass, thinking there will be another chance to see it or to acquire it. It is quite unusual to have a second chance to materialize your desire.
