Where no one will upset our fun
Let's take off our shoes
And dance away the blues

For Jeff Buckley

2009-09-03T05:38:00.001-07:00

Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners

Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water

And maybe Im too young to keep good love from going wrong

But tonight youre on my mind so you never know

-RIP Jeff Buckley

Mankind, probably the most mysterious species on our planet. A mystery of open questions. Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? How do we know what we believe to know? Why do we believe anything at all? Innumerable questions looking for an answer, an answer which will raise the next question and the following answer will raise a following question and so on and so forth. But in the end, isn't it always the same question and always the same answer?-Run Lola Run

Harry Callahan was well known to encourage his students to turn their cameras on their lives. And I was able to capture a moment when I turned my camera into my life.
