Quiet people
have the loudest minds.

Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all.
Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild.
So you let them go,
or when you open the cage to feed them
they somehow fly out past you.
And the part of you that knows
it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices,
but still,
the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.”
― Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption: A Story from Different Seasons

Pride gets no pleasure out of having something,
only out of having more of it than the next man...
It is the comparison that makes you proud:
the pleasure of being above the rest.
Once the element of competition is gone,
pride is gone.

C.S. Lewis

Bright colours or dark ones,
sparkling clarity or misty atmosphere,
landscape, still life, portrait -
I haven't met a subject, style or mood yet
that can't be portrayed beautifully in pastel.

“Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling.
If you can’t feel what you’re looking at,
then you’re never going to get others to feel anything
when they look at your pictures.”
— Don McCullin
