his head, the moon

nature
solitude
The traveler goes on,
His sleeves blowing back and forth
With the autumn wind,
And the evening sun sheds lonely light
Upon the bridge suspended between the cliffs.

lens-artist: perfect patterns
Patterns give us order in an otherwise chaotic world.
I find myself pondering the concept of perfect…are patterns designed by human design seen as more perfect than the ones that ebb and flow through the dynamics of mother nature?
Is there a pattern within an image that at first glance seems chaotic?
Does rhythm which involves the same or similar elements repeating at regular intervals create an image that soothes the eye and thus a seemingly “perfect pattern?”

lens-artist: diagonal lines
Patti invited lens-artists to explore diagonal lines in their creative work. The lines within an image guide the eye through the frame, carefully taking the viewer through the photograph. They also help to create depth, a sense of tension, and dynamism.

You are like a dandelion’s parachute … wind born … riding upon currents to an unknown.
The thoughts, words, and actions of others diffuse your beauty.
Be free … seeding dandelions … your continuation … with your fragile beauty.

words of wisdom
credo ut intelligam … ”I believe in order to understand.” ~Augustine
“I do not understand my dreams better than any of you.
“For they are always somewhat beyond my grasp and I have the same trouble with them as anyone who knows nothing about dream interpretation.
“Knowledge is of no matter when it comes to one’s own dreams.” ~Carl Jung
