Hold True

Jim Crotty photographer photography Flickr screen grab of gallery of images

Last night I dreamed - blessed illusion -

that I had a beehive here

in my heart

and that

the golden bees were making

white combs and sweet honey

from my old failures.

- From Antonio Machado, Translated by Robert Bly

The screen grab image above will take you to a flickr slide show of a  few of my favorite photographs. These are the images that carry a special meaning for me due to the fact that I can instantly place myself back in the particular light, location and frame of mind when I first released the shutter at the moment I captured each image.

In these places I found nothing but the beauty and truth that was presented before me.

There are no lies, deceit, manipulation or false pretenses. There is no anger, resentment or malice.

The light, subject and moment simply is, and in that simplicity is the very essence of being.
