The photograph is something, in its highest form that I am giving for my effort. It is not something that I take. And then after I bring it back, develop it, print it, look at it, experience it again, I submit my experience to life. I give it back to the world, it came from. Light into darkness.

violette = purple

Purple embodies the balance of red's stimulation and blue's calm. This dichotomy can cause unrest or uneasiness unless the undertone is clearly defined, at which point the purple takes on the characteristics of its undertone. With a sense of mystic and royal qualities, purple is a color often well liked by very creative or eccentric types and is the favorite color of adolescent girls.

How the color purple affects us physically

Uplifts

Calms the mind and nerves

Encourages creativity

~my mind is creating..it just hasn't yet been formed...

As photographs give people an imaginary possession of a past that is unreal, they also help people to take possession of space in which they are insecure.

Susan Sontag

living...

Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.

life...

When your life situation is all you know about yourself then you miss life. You may be very good at dealing with your life situation, but you miss life. You never really get anywhere. Life is now, not in the doing.

~spend your life....

"We spend our life, it's ours, trying to bring together in the same instant a ray of sunshine and a free bench"

— Samuel Beckett

love...

Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.

~rain...

Diane Ackerman - “I think if you look at any facet of nature in enough detail, you find it fascinating. How could you not The universe is so full of marvels. Here's an example -- rain, the shape of rain. I was minding my own business, working on my book, looking out the window, and it was raining and I was noticing that the raindrops were falling in that classic round-looking way, and I thought, 'I wonder if raindrops really are round' So I started researching it a little, and I discovered that raindrops change shape 300 times a second.”
