Seeing Through the Lens

Description

Did I ever truly learn to see with my own eyes,

to look around myself and actually see the beauty all around me,

I don't think so, and I still haven't,

it's my belief that if you saw the pure truth all around you...

you'd either burst into tears or laughter, jumping for joy...


This pretty much sums it up…

"Watch bab...ies.
Watch doggies.
Watch people interacting on the street.
Watch a person obviously bereft.
Notice how couples hold each other.
Watch leafs quivering in the wind.
Go to the airport and watch a couple saying goodbye.
Perhaps for now.
Perhaps forever.
Go to a trailer park and look for happiness.
Go to a country club and look for such inner-sadness it almost makes you cry.
For the art of seeing is the art of observing.
And taking away a moment from that period of observation ... and ... making it a photo.
This is a beautiful thing."
