Ken Lewis -'s photostream
|
I'm a 50 year old married father of two living in Regina, Saskatchewan. I love photography, writing poetry and playing guitar. I'm not an expert, by any means, at these things I love, but they give me great pleasure and I do try to improve.
I'm a chef who went bad and now work as a government project manager responsible for online service delivery projects. it's a long story....
I like people... people of all kinds and descriptions. There are so many ways to be yourself.

The Poetry Game has begun. (You can send me flickr mail if you're interested in details.) Simply put, it is a game started between Brianna Hendrix (in my contacts) and myself that involves revising each other's raw poems, through email, to achieve a collaborative final product, which is then posted to a photo. See below for links to photos with poems from the poetry game.

"Infinite word combinations exist to express each thought and feeling.
I find the words that a person chooses very revealing."

"My heart laughs with joy because I am in your presence.... Ah, how much more beautiful is the sun today than when you were angry with us!"

"Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thought nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keeping what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away."

"Do not grieve. Misfortunes will happen to the wisest and bravest of men. Death will come, always out of season. It is the command of the Great Spirit, and all nations and people must obey. What is past and what cannot be prevented should not be grieved for.... Misfortunes do not flourish particularly in our lives --- they grow everywhere."

Golden moments photography says:
"Ken Lewis,
A poet, a photographer, an enigma to many.
His stream allows you to glimpse life through his eyes, through his lens. My wife and I have gotten to 'virtually' know Ken for some time now through Flickr. And it is a daily pleasure to view his work in photos. Whether it be the sunsets, or the detailed flowers, or the simple day to day shots of people and gatherings to the incredible shots Ken has taken recently of wild horses. They are all a pleasure to the eyes.
Ken has a way with words too, and has graced flickr with his poetic comments. Also linked from his stream you will find your way unto Ken's Blog, which is full of inspirational writings and poetry.
We have never had the pleasure to meet in person, but certainly, my family and I would hope to one day do so, and enjoy fine wines, poetry and photography."13th November, 2011

"Ken-
well what can you say?
damn it, testimonial, I actually have to say something. ;-)
never at a loss, you know that. :)
I love the way you take pictures of things and say, i never get tired of seeing this...sun through the trees...ect. most people just post....i like the way you let the viewer in a little.
why was that moment so important?
what was it about the subject that caught your eye?
something about the more a picture tells you the less it tells you?
:)
and a true lover of all things words.
thank you for sharing your wonderful stream, being a friend and commenting. :)"11th April, 2009

NaPix -- (Time out) says:
"On a Flickr nature exploration, I met Ken Lewis on a ‘misty morning crossing’ a wonderful image he posted of deer crossing the river in the mist. Later, I found that he is the only one on the fast-track of Flickr to take the time and compose wonderful poems of appreciations. I can not thank him enough for the many wonderful such poems he dedicated to my images.
Please take some time to join ken on his many wonderful nature outing and learn from his informative descriptions of nature wonder. Many thanks Ken; you are a gentleman a great friend and a true Gem."4th April, 2009
