Passing Clouds

"Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can. But life leaps over oblivion lightly, losing only a thing or two of no importance, and gloom is but the passing shadow of a cloud..." — Yann Martel (Life of Pi) ツ ツ ツ * Pentax K20D - 3 shot HDR My work is for sale via Getty Images and at Redbubble and 500px ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © All rights reserved.

Lost in the Bayou

Lost in the Bayou

"The wind smelled of humus, lichen, the musky odor of pecan husks broken under the shoe, a sunshower on the fields across the bayou. But any poetry that might have been contained in that moment was lost when I stared into Honoria's face, convinced that human insanity was as close to our fingertips as the act of rubbing fog off a window pane." — James Lee Burke ツ ツ ツ * Pentax K20D - 3 shot HDR My work is for sale via Getty Images and at Redbubble and 500px ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © All rights reserved.

Brooding Sky

Brooding Sky

"If we look on idly, heaven and earth will never be joined. To join heaven and earth, some decisive deed of purity is necessary. To accomplish so resolute an action, you have to stake your life, giving no thought to personal gain or loss. You have to turn into a dragon and stir up a whirlwind, tear the dark, brooding clouds asunder and soar up into the azure-blue sky.
