Photography is a life-long lesson in waiting for the time to be right-- and knowing when it is. Timing is everything. All the time. Everywhere. The Times, They Are A-Changing. Constantly. Even when it's the same old same old wherever we look. It takes a lot of looking to be able to see. Too many people quit looking too soon. Nothing ever changes with them, unaware, as they are, of the nuances and subtleties. They never catch up to, what's what? Much less to, what's now? And never to, what's next? Jesus turned everything upside down, as did the Buddha, as do the Seers of every age, and no one noticed, knew, or cared. Noticing, knowing and caring carry the day, everyday. Mindful attention to the moment in each situation as it arises shifts the earth in its orbit, and the stars in theirs. Mind what you pay attention to, and how you go, moment to moment, day by day-- and do what is called for as the occasion requires. And be amazed by the ride through the rest of time.
