The time is now
"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."
— Chinese Proverb.
The second-best time is now…Right now. Right now, your life is waiting for your next move. What will you do? What seeds will you plant?
Every weekend, I take myself out on an adventure. Don’t know where I’m going, but I know the destination: Fun. Discovery. Photography. I grab my camera, my inspiration and my instinct and get out into a new world. A world that unfolds with every step I take into the unknown. Everyday an opportunity to create your beautiful life. What life are you creating? For me, life is art. A stroke of beauty, always in the making.
I like to take photographs of strangers. Ordinary people like you in me, living the daily adventure that is life. And every time I do, I think: Do you know how beautiful you are? Have you seen your spirit? Your will? Your heart? I see it in your eyes. I see it in your smile. I see you. All the dreams you have, the way they sparkle in your eyes. The seed of all the beauty you carry already in you. Do you see it? That’s my job. To remind you through photography to see and remember Who You Are. To help you recognize the seed, so you may grow, blossom and be what your heart is asking you to become.
For this week’s Photo Adventure, I attended the Josh Aronson's Photo Book Speed Date at NSU Art Museum on Sunday, September 27th, and had so much fun! Took my first art book with me and share it with a group of amazing people, who let me take their pictures.
Will you walk with me? Take a walk through the gallery of photographs I made below.
May the walk inspire you.
May it remind you to see beauty all around you.
May you find it in your eyes. May you find your seed and plant your dreams.
Love All-Ways,
Your Poet Photographer
