We have the seed of everything in us, and we have to seize the situation in our hand, to recover our own sovereignty.

Nhat HanhThe prospect Smiler was a manic farmer. Few men I think can have been as unfortunate as he; for on the one hand he was a melancholic with a loathing for mankind, on the other, some paralysis had twisted his mouth into a permanent and radiant smile.

As such, the Absolute is easily corroded;it slips all too easily through our fingers and must be handled as carefully as a butterfly

I am making a composition using the following elements: the winter beach; the winter moon; the ocean; the women; the pine trees; the riders; the driftwood; the shells; the shapes of darkness and the shapes of water; and the refuse. These are all inimical to my loneliness because of their indifference to it. Out of these pieces of inimical indifference, I intend to represent the desolate smile of winter which, as you must have gathered, is the smile I wear.

How wonderfully progressive, how fantastically twentieth century!

Make eye contact with the camera. Aim to take most of your photos outdoors.
