Laura Shmania > to this!! I am taking a photography class on lighting and this week we are studying artificial light. using a very slow shutter speed while zooming out, this neon sign, which alternated flashing the coffee cup and an orange "coffee," shows both!
Laura Shmania > 9-19-06-- Tuesday "I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." -- henry david thoreau, walden
Laura Shmania > 9-18-06-- Monday "there are people whom one loves immediately and forever. even to know they are alive in the world is quite enough." --nancy spain
Laura Shmania > 9-17-06-- Sunday reflections continue "just remain in the center, watching. and then forget that you are there." -- lao-tzu
Laura Shmania > 9-16-06-- Saturday reflections of sun and trees in the creek "beauty is a form of genius--is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. it is of the great facts in the world like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in dark water of that silver shell we call the moon." -- oscar wilde
Laura Shmania > 9-15-06-- Friday "kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless." -- mother teresa
Laura Shmania > 9-14-06-- Thursday "keep true to the dreams of thy youth." -- friedrich von schiller (1759 - 1805)
Laura Shmania > 9-13-06-- Wednesday Desiderata &#8220;Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, For always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its shame, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.&#8221; -- Max Ehrmann, 1927
Laura Shmania > 9-12-06-- Tuesday "I'm gonna love her till the cows come home" -- the beatles, lyrics from "when I get home"
Laura Shmania > 9-11-06-- Monday five years later. in memory of those who lost their lives and those who lost their loved ones. "... the friendship between us, the mutual confidence, the delights of the heart, the enchantment of the soul, these things do not perish and can never be destroyed." -- voltaire
Laura Shmania > 9-10-06-- Sunday "no art can exceed the mellow beauty of one square rood of ground in the woods this afternoon. the noise of the locust, the bee, and the pine; the light, the insect forms, butterflies, cankerworms hanging, balloon-spiders swinging, devils-needles cruising, chirping grasshoppers; the tints and forms of the leaves and trees... all the pleasing forms of art are imitations of these..." -- r.w. emerson
Laura Shmania > 9-9-06-- Saturday "will you ever bring a better gift for the world than the breathing respect that you carry wherever you go right now?" -- william stafford
Laura Shmania > 9-8-06-- Friday "people like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion." -- albert einstein
Laura Shmania > 9-7-06-- Thursday "for thou not farther than my thoughts canst move, and I am still with them and they with thee; or, if they sleep, thy picture in my sight awakes my heart to heart's and eye's delight." -- shakespeare
Laura Shmania > 9-6-06-- Wednesday "climb the mountains and get their good tidings. nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. the winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of autumn." -- john muir
