after a talk I had last night, this quote was an especially interesting find:

"Our society doesn't encourage its children to dream: from school, they put in your mind that you can never earn your living by doing what you want. They say that nothing is easy, that the life is a test - you have to work hard, you have to slave away. In our educational system, talent isn't recognized; it's stifled because it scares people. Talent and creative gifts are disturbing because they're not based on merit, they don't come from the sweat of your brow. In our materialist world, where there's no place for fantasy, talented people are looked upon with suspicion while the greedy idiots who fight to become bosses - even if it means hurting others - are considered as men of real ability, men with ambition." -- Ben Harper / courtesy swer.net

amen, Ben.

there I go again, capturing the moment
was it always this way,
or was your observation made influentual?

they say a picture is worth a thousand words -
can a few words be worthy a picture?

I could open the shutter
and capture a moment in time
instead, a few lines are written
infused with rhyme

making photographs of my mind
