The Inner Path of Photography

We yearn for the taste of the sacred…and through our cameras discover it, the world, and ourselves.

Freedom

The girl stands at the edge of the water.

Should I fly? she thinks
Or  let the soft waves trickle over my toes
then return to the safety of the sand…

The boy steps forward.

I am here, he says
slipping his hand into hers

Oh yes, she sees
Now she can joyfully do both.

Weston – Quote

“I want the greater mystery of things revealed more clearly than the eyes see…”

– Edward Weston, photographer

Lartigue – Quote

It’s marvellous, marvellous! Nothing will ever be as much fun. I’m going to photograph everything, everything! 

— Jacques-Henri Lartigue,  after taking his first photograph at age 6

Walking and Photography – Matt Green walks NY

Matt Green is walking the streets of New York – all of them.

And talking to people, taking photographs along the way.

A wonderful example of a man who is living in the moment, absorbing life, and sharing his experience through photography.

See the NY Times article and a wonderful short video made by Matt here…
