The Limbo Connection's photostream  

All art is the result of observation. Often we see yet do nothing. Sometimes we do not notice at all.

Ideas are fragile. They quickly vaporise if they are not preserved and developed. The universe is full of broken fragments of ideas.

Cameras can catch ideas, as nets catch fish. The fisherman does not know what will be in his net; nor do photographers, until the images are revealed. Like the fish, many are useless and unwanted. But not all.

The author of ‘The Limbo Connection’ made pictures with words. Some of the descriptions in Derry Quinn’s novel are practically finished canvasses. Even brief constructions such as ‘a thin inexhaustible rain was sweeping down the Thames Valley’ paints vividly the bleakness of many a day in England when the sky is dark and the light is flat.

All photography is dependent on light. What an enormous gift we have that enables us to catch that light and bottle it up, to share it with others and to gaze upon it again and again.

For what it's worth, I dislike any flashing, jumping, spinning, dancing, or even just garish 'awards' for my pictures and I always delete them. Words, on the other hand, are fine.
