What a beautiful bag! Here is a quote I absolutely love....
"Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm."
Abraham Lincoln
that bag is incredibly gorgeous. here's something so simple, but dear to me as of late:
"happiness is a journey not a destination" - souza
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed." -Theodore Roosevelt"
The Small Gal
arggh. mine is so long, but truly my epiphanie:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” marianne williamson
"Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter."
-Ansel Adams
“Sometimes I do get to places just when God’s ready to have somebody click the shutter.” ~Ansel Adams
"In the right moment, in the right light, everything is extraordinary" -- aaron rose
"The greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions, and not on our circumstances. We carry the seeds of the one or the other about with us in our minds wherever we go." - Martha Washington
Oh how I love that bag!
Gandhi said that "whatever you do in life will be insignificant. But it's very important that you do it."
Love the bag!!
“To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work.” (Mary Oliver)
"The reward for conformity is that everyone likes you but yourself." ~ Rita Mae Brown
“ Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I’m going to take tomorrow." – Imogen Cunningham
That bag is gorgeous!!
My own epiphanie.....When you find what makes your heart sing, pour your tears and sweat into it, thank God for giving it to you and never apologize for it!
"Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple." -Dr. Seuss
I have to remind myself of this all the time!
"Painting is just another way of keeping a diary"
-Pablo Picasso
(I think quote applies to photography!)
" it is what it is"
"The art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on." -Henry Ellis
"Some of the best photographs I have ever taken were taken in my head."
A photographer told me this when I was a teenager, about not always having your camera on-hand. This has stayed with me over the years, along with many of the images I have mentally recorded.
" it doesn't have to be complicated. Complicated is just a collection of simple elements in an unusual combination"
a teacher once said this to me and I've always remembered it. Its a good one for when life starts getting the better of you.
"no matter how slow the film, Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer It has chosen" Minor White
Love this bag!
Don't get caught up in the technical, just let beauty happen.
To the world you may just be one person; but to one person you may be the world!
A song lyric from the stunningly magnificent Sara Haze,
"Through the pain, pride and shame somehow love remains
Maybe souls are just like glass more beautiful when stained"
We needn't be perfect in life because perhaps we are more beautiful when stained. :)
"Life is the most beautiful art." -Kira Kwon
I LOVE the bag and this quote....
You don't take a photograph. You ask, quietly, to borrow it. ~Author Unknown
