Both in writing and in your beautiful photos. There needs to be a forum besides a Blog so I can sit and read these things. And not just because of who I am...you know what I mean. They are just really interesting musings. I haven't seen much of Doisneau's works except those you've shown me. I really like the man protecting his cello from the rain. I can imagine Adelheid doing the same thing. I love the insights and the way you describe things. Both in writing and in your beautiful photos.

Seriously though: thank you very much for your kind words with respect to my photos. It feels good to know that the magic I see in moments actually makes it through the photo. Aww, shucks.

They yearn for the inocent moments, that weren't tangled with their present adult mind set, the revitalizing sensation of an entirely new experience that could not be predicted or the simple bliss of just being. Many spend so much time remembering the past they don't see that the moments are still there hidden in more than obvious places. Clouded by their own preconceptions those opportunities to see these moments are hidden. I find my favorite feeling is finding what's hidden. When I do I feel a surge of energy within me that is so strong I get goose bumbs. Most of those feelings from then become now and are enjoyed even more so presently with the hindsight of what had been is now being. It's fuel for my spirit. The images that you have captured, inspired by those such as Doisneau, Henri Cartier-Bresson, André Kértsz and Brassaï, portray what I feel are those moments that we long for. They are pinpoint examples of human spirituality. Out of a bustling park full of smells of flowers and sounds of the city you capture a woman in an instant of markable bliss surrounded by feathery friends. You have captured intrigue from a child's eyes as they stare up at what they can't quite explain. I personally enjoy with great reverence the moment you caught love in the act of bringing two young people together for the blissful second of being in eachothers arms. Doisneau would be proud.
