Photography

Does it interest the eye, excite the brain, move the mind to reflection, and involve the heart? - Julian Barnes

Then blogging led me to photography. Once just a fling, but now a serious contender of my attention. This mistress has bitten me with an intoxicating, poisonous venom and made me insatiable.

They go so much together - the writing and the capturing of images - both creative endeavors that called hundreds of men and women before me. I have to admit - it is an insult to all the great writers and great photographers to say that I am one of them. But then, I am a follower of humorist Erma Bombeck who said "When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me."

  1. Amen! I was moved by your last quotation. Photography and Literature are both synergies of art and inspiration.
