Jo, Jenny and Jenny - St George Hospital (Sun 21 Jun 2009)

On Understanding - Alex / Foureyes (Sun 29 Jun 2014)

Untitled - Barcelona (Mon 05 Aug 2013)
Alex (*) writes On Understanding (*):

It was so interesting to me how we all interpreted and approached the issues we were talking about totally differently and to again realize how important understanding (*) someone's cultural background is when dealing with different situations. Moral of the story? We all have room to be a little bit more understanding (*).

The Power of Photography - Kim Weston / Maurice Berger (Fri 27 Jun 2014)

Untitled - Pitshanger (*) Lane / Ealing (*) / London (Sat 17 Aug 2013)
Kim Weston (*) writes Photography (*) and Love (*):

Coming so close to dying made me realize that life is short, and that I had a choice, [..] I wasn’t doing what I loved, and I was determined to go after my dream (*).

So It was suggested:

Go back to doing what you love (*). Photography (*) makes you smile (*).

And so she did:

Photography has opened so many doors for me. I often wonder where my life would have gone if I had not had the privilege to experience its power. I know it saved me.

via What the Camera Sees, and Doesn’t See (*) by Maurice Berger (*).

The power of photography to heal the broken (*) and fractured (*), demonstrated yet again (*).

On not being a Team - Nigel Risner (Fri 27 Jun 2014)

Intersection - Amsterdam (Tue 19 Aug 2013)
Nigel Risner (*) writes on not being a Team (*):

The reason most mergers do not work is because you bring two teams (*) together who do not hold the same values, who do not understand (*) the systems in place but are put together because somebody thinks it might work.

We Are All Photographers? - Jorg Colberg (Mon 23 Jun 2014)

Take an Inspiring Picture - George Street / Sydney (Mon 21 Oct 2013)
Jorg Colberg (*) writes On Photography (*):

We’re all photographers now. Or are we? [..]

Let’s assume that we are not all photographers. If that is the case, here’s the crucial question: what is it that photographers do that those who occasionally or regularly photograph don’t do? [..]

What is it then that separates the photographers from all the rest of us? I think it’s aspirations. Ambition (*).

Untitled - Oxford Street / London (Sun 18 Aug 2013)
Alex Webb (*) writes On Photography (*):

I'm a street photographer (*) at heart, so I approached Rochester (*) [the subject (*) - see HCB post (*) specifically] the same way I often approach somewhere I'm shooting, [..] Walking, meandering, allowing my camera and experiences (*) to guide me.

Angel (*) Heart (*) in Flight (*) - Lisbon (Wed 14 Aug 2013)
StreetShooter (*) writes On the Photographer (*) and Life (*):

The photographer (*) validates his time on the earth by the photos he makes. Photographers record what the planet looked like during their visit (*). We are all tourist thru life, no one gets a permanent Visa.
