When nobody will look at you, you can stare a hole through them. Picking out all the little details and imperfections you’d never stare long enough to notice if they’d even just return your gaze. You realize that they can only hold a smile for so long, after that it’s just teeth. Sometimes it’s fangs.
“The character of Jesus has not only been the highest pattern of virtue, but the strongest incentive in its practice, and has exerted so deep an influence that it may be truly said that the simple record of three short years of active life has done more to regenerate and to soften mankind than all the dispositions of philosophers and all the exhortations of moralists.” W.E.H. Leckey
For several decades we psychologists looked upon the whole matter of sin and moral accountability as a great incubus and acclaimed our liberation from it as epoch making. But at length we have discovered that to be free in this sense, that is, to have the excuse of being sick rather than sinful, is to court the danger of also becoming lost…In becoming amoral, ethically neutral and free, we have cut the very roots of our being, lost our deepest […]
I walked a mile with Pleasure;She chatted all the way;But left me none the wiserFor all she had to say. I walked a mile with Sorrow;And ne’er a word said she;But, oh! The things I learned from her,When Sorrow walked with me. Robert Browning Hamilton
“I counted my years and found that I have less time to live from here on than I have lived up to now.I feel like that child who won a packet of sweets: he ate the first with pleasure, but when he realized that there were few left, he began to enjoy them intensely.

Everything around me is evaporating.My whole life,my memories,my imagination…But I have in meall the dreams in the world. Fernando Pessoa
A greedy man once yearned for more, so the fool began to borrow.He ate and drank and told the bank, “I’ll pay the debt tomorrow.”But as both dolt and purse grew fat, the calendar grew thinner.The debt collector had enough and hungered for his dinner.The coward ran, with coin in hand, but come dawn, lost his breath.The fool was caught, ’twas all for naught, for the collector’s name was Death.
In one of my lastest outing to the Kaaterskill Wilds, I found a remote little spot off the trail where I found some solitude and the opportunity to restore my sanity. I created a photosphere of my temporary bastion.
I thought it might be fun to run some photos I took during my September 2007 Walt Disney World vacation, through the latest Lightroom incarnation and see what I could come up with. Over all, I’ve pretty happy with the result. This photo of Epcot Center’s Spaceship Earth is one of my favorite photos I’ve ever snapped. I feel the dome is so iconic, a head on photo isn’t required it be be recognizable so I took the shot from […]
