Jim Dollar's Photography and Philosophy
Finding our way to The Way one situation at a time. I don't know how great it will be, but I expect it will be interesting, and I look forward to it going on past all reason because wonder is just that way. Are you coming or not?
Doing things well is not doing things perfectly.
Perfect is a steady state of being--
and is a matter of opinion.
All perfect things are surpassed in time.
Decay is perfection's archenemy,
and always has the last word.
Doing things well is the artists' aim,
and the individual artist is the only one who knows
when "well enough" has been achieved.
Leaving us with the privilege of determining
when our life attains satisfactory status.
The only one we have to please is us.
I'm retired, and still finding my way--but now, I don't have to pretend that I know what I'm doing. I retired after 40.5 years as a minister in the Presbyterian Church USA, serving churches in Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina. I graduated from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in Austin, Texas, and Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. My wife, Judy, and I have three daughters, five granddaughters, one great granddaughter, and a great grandson on the way, within about ten minutes from where we live--and are enjoying our retirement as much as we have ever enjoyed anything.
