truth
Wednesday, September 24, 2008 by Maile Wilson
"Everywhere I went people welcomed me with warmth. In friendship they politely expressed their natural apprehension about pictures: 'We hope photographs can express the truth'. Fortunately, the language of pictures, like the language of friendship, is very straightforward and uncomplicated. Like a helicopter, the photograph takes over where language leaves off, transcends linguistic limits and lands in the heart of the matter."
-Bhupendra Karia - Russian Immigrants, Tel Aviv, 1972, Creative Camera, page 421-December 1973

I've been pretty down recently and it doesnt take much to set off the waterworks. This kind of moment helps to take the blues away.
I wish you all a serene moment or two today!

The second photo here where I caught my boys deep in conversation on the back deck at sunset. The truth they are growing into fine men.

Not every picture comes out the way I envision. Sometimes my hand shakes and the image is blurred. Sometimes a car drives past in the background.
Sometimes he moves right as I click: http://www.flickr.com/photos/partonponderings/2885470443/
It's beautiful all the same.
