Der Punkt
Innerhalb einer Komposition bezieht sich die Bezeichnung “Punkt” auf ein Gestaltungsmittel, das im Verhältnis zur Bildfläche sehr klein oder relativ klein ist. Punkte können über helligkeiten, Dunkelheiten und/oder durch Farben gebildet werden. Der Punkt ist statisch und behauptet sich an seinem Standort, ohne die Tendenz einer Bewegung au

Inspirational Bites for Daily Living
Mother Earth is my employer, she pays me with clean air, clean water, clean food, clean land, and then from that you have a clean spirit. How I just wanted to say those things because I'm recognizing where I come from, and I think part of that is introducing where you come from is not just the human factor, it's always the land, the land is coming first, and what supported you, what gave you life to that name, what gave you life to your family, and part of that is understanding who you are. You feel like you have to take out an ID card in this society, that's not what makes you who you are, it's all the elements, the energy around the sunlight, everything that makes you who you are. Humans want to rush being a human being, almost as if there's no time left, so time moves so fast for them, and that they're they're at the end of their life, and then they realize that they've kind of in that mind of junk is that they've wasted their lives because they didn't become what they felt they could be, instead of accepting each moment as it is, and to take the would a could have shoulda stuff mindset out of it. I think in recognizing the present, not what you could be or would be or should be, be patient for recognizing yourself in a common way, in a good way, and try to keep it out of your head, cuz that's where the Mind junk mental junk comes into play. Something that we've gotten away from is to be here and a present, if we forget that then we're either we're either embedded in the future or in the past, never will be another time like now, and this is why every moment is innocent, every moment is innocence because it's true, and there will be never one moment like this again, never a minute nanc like this again. A tree is conscious, it's here, it's not in the future or the past, it's here, so be like a tree, intelligence, be like the wind, be like all of that, because that is like you, because it's in your body, it's in it's moving, it's your full spectrum of your full brain, not just your head. An uncle said that we live in a time and place where our spirits can be eaten, so we must learn how to protect our spirits, and he also said they will have machines for ancestors, and so we're in that world now, artificial intelligence has taken us away from that which is and put us into could be, it could be, and it's based only on human fragility of conscience. Modernity has devolved the spiritual aspect of what a makes a human being, because it's taken you away from nature, and technology has no wisdom, it's a language of the mental logic, and there's no wisdom there, it's not the language of the heart. Our bodies in many nations are named after parts of the earth, and Chante is a word for heart in Lota. Chante is like a tree branching out into the body, the tree is also branding out into the body of Earth. When the tree is communicating with other trees, we understand that underneath the ground in the earth there's a great happening there, it's always eventing, moving, motioning, so this is the heart of the rhythm of nature. Our human bodies need to be in tune or attuned to Mother Earth, and so the heart is pumping that same message, and that's why people go to nature, they know the awesomeness, the awe of it, and they feel like they've been close to God, but if you grow up this way, you realize that nature is everywhere. Our responsibility is to learn how to become at be at peace with Earth of living with Mother Earth, and not having war against your own mother. Trees are the teacher, so we animals and birds and everything that makes this body live, they're showing you how to live with their patience. We say he said I do this so that others may live. I live this way so others may live, and that's just not for humans, it's for life, all life. We're all one, so maybe these ideas of arrogant ideas of humans are not the same ideas and feelings of a human. We have no word for goodbye, we have something like or which means I'll see you again, surely eventually.
One of the things we neglect to talk about enough is the fact that a photograph is a made object. Everything about it is a construct, from the organic chemistry in the emulsion on a piece of film to sensor resolution, to the limits of focal length, aperture and shutter speed. The dark room and the computer are places where we refine the early decis

By my grave, and weep.
I am not there,
I do not sleep—
I am the thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints in snow

As you awake with morning’s hush,

Whenever you hear yourself saying “I have to…”, change it to “I choose to…” Remembering you have choices does wonders for your well-being.
