Le Sacre du Printemps - The Rite of Spring

The View from Home

 Sunrise at Keefer Lake, Ontario (photo M.Hill)

"I am no longer a trophy hunter with a life-list of places to go. There is great beauty in my own backyard and I think learning to photograph the everyday and the ‘mundane’ will make you a better photographer than constantly trying to go to new and exotic locales. Depth comes from immersion and not from a shallow two week whirlwind tour. The best photographs I see are from people that immerse themselves into a location they love. I love Canada, I live in Canada and so I plan to photograph my country. Canada excites me as much as any foreign locale I have been to. Why not know your homeland?"

(Quote from Darwin Wiggett - Canadian Photographer)

The Myth of Individuality

"Two can be as sad as one ..., originally uploaded by Canadapt.

I don't think anyone is 'whole' by themselves ... I think that the idea of the individual is a contemporary myth .... a modern construction ... and wrong at that!

Twins

Twins, originally uploaded by Canadapt.

Would that Powers that made my eyes so keen,
To stare at things intently, near or far;
That I discover twins at last, in what
I thought at first was but a single star –
Would that those Powers had made my ears the same,
To tell the Oak and Maple in the dark,
To recognize their songs in wind or rain,
Before I knew their names by leaf or bark.

W. H. Davies
(from the poem entitled "Eyes and Ears")
