Canadian photographer, Rob Miller. When I consider how much about a photo is out of the photographer’s control, and see images like these, I appreciate the art form even more. Mr. Miller’s Blog: @mill24-ph
Trip to the Orchid show at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens today. The exhibit ends in a few days so the orchids were pretty much on their way out. However, it was my first trip to the gardens and well, plant therapy. Look how the papaya tree grows (4th photo). All the symmetry does my heart good.
In honor of International Women’s Day, let’s celebrate the only human organ totally dedicated to pleasure. It’s good to be a woman. Click and listen to this awesome song: https://dorianelectra.bandcamp.com/track/clitopia
Tonight’s study topic: The 3 Difficult Practices —teachings by Pema Chödrön
1. Notice when you’re hooked. 2. Do something different. 3. With enthusiasm, make this a way of life.
Grateful to Pema, for her devotion to the practice.
Grateful to her root teacher, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, who shared the concept of and teachings on Basic Goodness.
“Basic goodness, available to anyone, at anytime, just by connecting with the immediacy of our experience. Take heart. The more we practice in this way, the more confident we become in our basic goodness, the more access we have to our inherent openness and wisdom.” -Pema
May all beings be free from suffering and the root of suffering. May all beings know happiness and the root of happiness.
Władysław T. Benda 1873-1948 He started as a graphic artist and illustrator, eventually becoming equally well know for his mask making, mask sculpting and costume design. (I’ll do another post on him soon!)
Another Canadian photographer, Eiko Jones, from a recent post he shared on Facebook. Definitely becoming one of my favorite photographers when it comes to the natural world, especially water.
Watched the first episode of Netflix’s original docuseries, Abstract: The Art of Design, tonight (part of it anyway) featuring Christoph Niemann. There’s an effortlessness to his work that’s appealing to me. The effortlessness comes through because of his work ethic, I think. “It’s not about waiting for hours for this moment where inspiration strikes. It’s just about showing up and getting started and then something amazing happens or it doesn’t . All that matters is you enable the chance for something to happen. For that, you have to sit at your desk and you have to draw and do and make decisions and hope for the best. You create a process that allows you to do unembarrassing stuff on command is the only way you can survive. You create an armor of craft around you.” -Christoph Neimann
