Something New

When I let go of what I am , I become what I might be,

Lao Tzu

I never take photos with my phone, actually , unless I'm going on a long trip I never even carry it with me. But I have always liked the idea of Instagram , so I finally opened an account with all the uploads coming from one of my computers.

While I uploaded a batch of files yesterday my plan is to only upload once a week and 3 photos at a time, I'll see how that works out.

Thoughts rattling around in my head

I can remember the nuns leading me by the ear , but for the life of me I can't remember anyone ever having to lead me by the hand.

It's easy to gain the love and admiration of a child.One just has to get down low so that they can look you in the eyes on their own two feet.

Playing catch with your dad is like tossing dreams back and forth.Some you'll catch and some you'll drop and maybe after a while some will come true.

Laying back watching the stars I can't understand how anyone could not believe in an almighty. God may of left us to fend for ourselves , but she's there .

Know your heart , know yourself and set a compass bearing harmonic to both.

Every time you look to the stars you are seeing something new.

Every photographer has their own rules they use to achieve success , success for me comes from breaking everyone of them.

Mathematics is the purist language of all . Whether they realize it or not scientist are learning to talk in the same language God speaks.

It is with photography that I'm able to talk with God in a way that we both understand each other.

Baseball is life itself , no matter where you are the goal is always the same . To get home safe and sound .

William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
