Full Moon & a Gull

 

 

This morning up before sunrise

 …on the road … headed to the shore

BALANCE

 

Bright water .... 

shades of red blooming

 

Splash of Color

What is a Vibration

What is in a Vibration

Vibration is Energy in motion

It is ElectroMagnetic

A moment of shutter therapy.

Dancing with Wolves challenge ~ Anxiety ~ living in the past

Photo & article copyright R Ferraro

A Client shared with me that they were struggling with anxiety. 

For them to ask somebody to go out on a date, they needed the opinion of a 2^ndor 3^rdperson to confirm that they made the right move. 

They needed the approval from an external source to validate their desire. 

Intellectually, the person was able to acknowledge their own qualities,

Table Topics ~ I am the Wind

At a Humorous Toastmaster Meeting, I was selected for Table Topics. The Topic for the two-minute presentation was “what would you be that can be connected to June?”

I went to the front of the room and said, “The Wind.” I would be the Wind. 

A Seagull ~ My friend on the Hudson

During a walk along the Hudson River Park,
my friend stayed close and allowed me to capture its beauty close up

POST VALENTINE THOUGHTS

Valentine Day

a Day of Hearts

a Day of Love

What is love

a box of chocolates ...

a bunch of flowers ...

Perhaps deeper

To Float the cork or Hold it down

As a Human Being that is powered by Spirit, 

I believe you and I are artists ...

Two quotes come together for me today,

BLANK CANVAS

I found this provocative quote on Robert Rodriquez Jr's photo website  Van Gogh and the Blank Canvas

“Many painters are afraid of the blank canvas,

but the 

blank canvas IS AFRAID 

of the truly 

passionate painter [Photographer,Artist, Human Being (1)] 

who dares - and who has once broken the spell of ‘you can’t.” 

Van Gogh (from “Ever Yours: the Essential Letters"

LIFE is like a CAMERA IN MANY WAYS

LIFE is like a CAMERA 
IN MANY WAYS

1. It is definitely necessary to focus on the image ...  on what you want to create. 
2. Use the histogram (meditation and your emotions) to feel whether your image is what you want to express or experience

Masks Beauty or Defense

Masks - the Paradox
Are Masks to hide?
Are Masks a thing of beauty?

Birthday Reflections

Reflections on a Birthday

& the gifts of celebration
