Bio

This Photography thing?

Sam Beckett put it better than I ever could...

Ever tried? Ever failed? No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.


Sometimes though, there are those rare & precious moments when you somehow manage to find yourself in the right place at the right time in the right light, with camera in hand, & with the presence of mind to actually (almost) get it right.

Sweet Serendipity...it drives me to strive for perfection. I'll never attain it, but it's a singular joy trying...

Unexpected til we came & saw it
Unbelievable as soon as seen
Hit the mark despite not aiming for it
Is'nt that how things have always been?

Bertolt Brecht


I live for those rare moments...wait patiently for them.


Here are some more words I'd like to share with you for the simple reason that I love them...

If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs. And maybe your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery, isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance. Of how much you really want to do it. And you'll do it, despite rejection in the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods. And the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.

Charles Bukoski
(1920 - 1994)

Darkness Visible

   3 Faves

At least an hour before sunset last evening, with the Sun still relatively vhigh oin a clear early evening sky, a single dark cloud created a pseudo sunset for a minute or two. I happened to be at the kitchen window making dinner, saw this sight, scooted upstairs, got the shot, then zipped back down before the timer on the oven started bleeping... :) This is also an unprocessed jpeg. Polarising lens used to reduce that star's glare.

Remember Neda Agha-Soltan

Remember Neda Agha-Soltan

   One Fave

Murdered by the Basij militia on Kargar Avenue in Tehran last Saturday. She was buried at the Behesht-e Zahra cemetery, & denied a proper funeral by government authorities. The Iranian government has also issued a ban on collective prayers in mosques for Neda in the aftermath of the incident. Almost exactly 20 years to the day after the Red Army Butchers of Tianenmen ordinary people like you & me are once more struggling & dying this time in Iran for the crime of protesting for simple freedoms that we the lucky ones take for granted... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neda_(Iranian_protester) www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjQxq5N--Kc (Warning Graphic) “Do not rejoice in his defeat, you men. For though the bastard is dead, the bitch that bore him is in heat again.” Bertolt Brecht (He was writing about Hitler, but you can now replace him with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei)
