Thoughts expressed in words
about understanding that can pertain
to the practice of photography.

Before the conscious world
came the awakening dream
before breathing aloud
came construction of thought.

The interpretation of the Negative
an art form practiced by photographers
a means of realizing our vision.

Memory is elastic
photography is fiction
I remember when I see
things I have forgotten I wrote
the mystery world below the surface
back brain poetry
time pipe drains
liquid light.

How do you get there from here?
point...shoot..analyze.

How do you get here from there?
practice...practice..practice.

First there was darkness, and afterwards light......Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook
