If you can’t afford a plane ticket, or it’s just not the right time for a voyage, the best way to travel is by opening a book.
May I suggest a trip to California with East of Eden by John Steinbeck? Or even Paris, with The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery. The travel possibilities are endless where books are concerned.

The Question that Changed My Life.

by, David Ryser

A number of years ago, I had the privilege of teaching at a school of ministry. My students were hungry for God, and I was constantly searching for ways to challenge them to fall more in love with Jesus and to become voices for revival…

The picture is like a prayer, an offering, and hopefully an opening through which to seek what we don’t know, or already know and should take seriously.” He continues, “All important pictures embody something that we do not yet understand. In the process we collect a few random yet vivid facts that we didn’t know before. Emmet Gowin

maggie and milly and molly and may

went down to the beach(to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sang

so sweetly she couldn’t remember her troubles,and

milly befriended a stranded star

whose rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing

which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and

may came home with a smooth round stone

as small as a world and as large as alone.

For whatever we lose(like a you or a me)

it’s always ourselves we find in the sea

-e.e. cummings

Photography for me was a bit like collecting things. When I had a camera there was always a reason to go somewhere… Tim Walker

If a photographer cares about the people before the lens and is compassionate, much is given. It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument. Eve Arnold

Photography is a strange phenomenon… You trust your eye and cannot help but bare your soul. Inge Morath
