“You don’t make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”
Ansel Adams

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku. Have a love for fountain pens.

It looks like it was a warm and peaceful evening.

This was taken almost 5 years ago with some friends at a nearby lake. One of those enjoyable evenings nature life gives us.

Wise words … there’s no hiding behind the camera, either. It reveals you.

Thanks, Paul. The images from good photographers can inspire us as do some of their words of wisdom. Lots or revelation going on.

I sometimes tell my daughter: Every photo is a self-portrait.
That’s a gorgeous calming hue across your image Monte.

I like that: Every photo is a self portrait. Thanks, Cedric!
