Green and Blue - Alexandria / Sydney (Sat 25 Feb 2012)

Just a little taste of summer before it's over.

Preparation, Fate and Chance - Vern Gambetta (Mon 27 Feb 2012)

Hop On, Hop Off Bus - Red - Battery Park / New York (Thu 11 Aug 2011)

From Vern Gambetta's 1000th Post on Typepad (*) ..
If you have done the preparation then you are in control and you have given yourself a chance.

If you want to be ready look at how you are preparing.

Are you preparing or just hoping that luck and fate will favor you?

It doesn’t work that way, it is not the hand of fate that will touch you rather it is your fate that is in your hands.
I remember when Vern went over to Typepad and I really can't be believe I have been reading his words of wisdom and inspiration for that long. Congratulations and thank you Vern.

Stumbled across this yesterday, nearly 10 years since I took it. Never really noticed back then, but it jumped out at me yesterday. A nice surprise from my tiny 1600x1200 pixel IXUS.

How to Get There by Michael Leunig

Keep going towards the horizon

How to Get There
By Michael Leunig

Go to the end of the path until you get to the gate.
Go through the gate and head straight out
Towards the horizon
Keep going towards the horizon
Sit down and have a rest every now and again
But keep on going.
Just keep with it.
Keep on going as far as you can
That's how you get there.

Blurry - The Met / 5th Ave / New York (Mon 15 Aug 2011)

The following quote by Eric Kim (*) made me think of quite a few photos I took while I was away (*). They are all flawed in some way, but they have kept my attention. The above photo - taken just outside The Met (*) is just one example. Here's the quote ..
when it comes to street photograph, image quality isn’t important. If anything, having a raw and grittier image is more favorable. [Eric Kim (*)]
Might put a few more here at some stage.
