Quote of the Day

 

If you greatly admire many of

Edward Weston’s photographs

– as I do – and if you find them

aesthetically majestic, recognize

their substantial influence and

their high status in contemporary

criticism, you may turn to the

photographer’s writings in an

effort to discover his intentions,

 

 

his philosophies, perhaps even his secrets.

Expect complexity.

Children’s Poem: Sandman Dan

Daniel Frog I am often called,

though you can call me Dan. I live

within a lily pond; I’m working

for ‘the man’. I jump and sweep

the waters deep for a special

type of sand which helps a sleepy

little one travel to Dreamland.

 

I’m not well-known by anyone –

my secret’s meant to keep – even

you will forget me soon when you

drift off to sleep. So off you go

to Wonderland, and before your nap

is through, I shall slip back to my

lily pad, collect more sand for you.

Quote of the Day

 

 

If I had to pick a single word

to describe what my pictures

are all about, I would say

‘secrets.’ As a child I

always had a secret world

and my favorite book was

“A Secret Garden.” 

 

 

 

Joyce Tenneson

(1945-    )

American Photographer

Quote of the Day

 

 

All journeys have

secret destinations

of which the 

traveller is unaware.
