"Tell me where is fancy bred? Or in the heart, or in the head? How begot, how nourished? Reply. Reply."
From The Merchant of Venice
by William Shakespeare
I do not believe in "gods" of any kind; I believe in truth. I seek beauty in whatever I experience, even in the plain. I honor depth, but will tolerate shallowness for a while, just in case it is something deep in a development phase, a person in need of careful cultivation.
Without beauty, life would be boring. Without music, life would be a mistake. Without sex, life would be impossible. Think about it.
I wish a good life, liberty, happiness, and equality for everyone. You may not realize how sweet it is if you've never had it; or once given, it is then denied you; or promised to you but never given. (For example, if you think homosexuality is a choice, try being gay in America and you'll know what I mean.)
Judging by my collection, you might think I have difficulty concentrating, but there is so much to see in the world, and not all of it is apparent. I hope you enjoy what I`ve found. My taste in music is just as eclectic. If variety is the spice of life, photography is the spice rack.
All photos I post are mine. Please ask if you wish to copy for your personal use.
