Rising To The Surface
Crying from the depths
Life can be suffocating
Epic struggles
Seem incapacitating
Tricky to handle
At times…
Through patience and will
Our thoughts they climb
Rising to the surface
Building strength
Arms in the air
Fists clenched
Courage the staple
Willing yourself through
Rewards are a plenty
All the while, you grew
Take from this
All you can learn
Reap the benefits
From all that you earn

Inspired Thoughts
Inspired thoughts
They come and go
An intermittent creek
That sometimes flows
Getting into the zone
Can be the key
It is then your mind
Is most certainly free
Free to discover
New thoughts that inspire
Goals to make
Dreams that fire!

Profiling Photographers

As part of the Photography section of this Blog, I will be shortly commencing a series of articles based around Photographers I either know or have come across in my travels since commencing the Artform of Photography myself in 1982. Some are Professional, some Semi-Professional and some are Enthusiasts.
It is my intention to obtain their responses to a brief number of questions which will aim to depict their thoughts on Photography itself and what inspires them to create their images.
Some examples of their images and links to their online galleries shall also be included.
It is not the intention to discuss ‘gear’ in these Profiles (although it will state what gear they do use and what attracted them to use it to communicate their message). There exists a lot of wonderful equipment however, there are enough “Equipment Review’ sites out there to satisfy, I believe.
As a devotee of communication, and in particular, of photography for 30+ years I have been privileged to be associated with and have come across some outstanding practitioners of the Artform in that time.
Each of us ‘sees’ the world differently and thus will communicate it differently.
Through these ‘Photography Profiles’, it is my aim to celebrate their viewpoints and images with a new audience.

The Beauty Of Life
The beauty of life
Comes from within
Programmed by the Universe
Just waiting to begin
Without any coaching
It’s direction is clear
To exist in the world
And provide that good cheer
Growing into its life
Bearing fruit to one and all
Shining in the Sun
Thirsting in rain’s fall
When it’s fruit is all given
The process begins anew
Sharing it’s life
A chance to renew
