Final Rusting Place

"Ageing unprepares us for life in this visible world and gives opportunity to prepare for the next." Philip Yancey in Rumours Of Another World.

The Model Wife

The man who finds a wife finds a treasure,
and he receives favor from the Lord.

Yes, I am blessed... and I managed to get a cool photo of her too!

All Creation Sings!

Cottesloe, WA
1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God.
The skies display his craftsmanship.
2 Day after day they continue to speak;
night after night they make him known.

3 They speak without a sound or word;

their voice is never heard.

4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,

and their words to all the world.

Psalm 19 (NLT)
Canal Rocks, South of Yallingup, WA
The seas have lifted up, O LORD,

the seas have lifted up their voice;
the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.
Psalm 93:3 (NIV)

Visual Variety 4

Daniel getting some air... Ollie off the stairs at a little church in East Perth.

We were "down South" for a few days recently and enjoyed some great weather and some great scenery. This is the very famous - and very long, Busselton Jetty on a stunning day.

Thought Of The Day

There are two ways of spreading light:
to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

Old Rusty (Or is it Old Bluey?)

There's something about old broken-down things that draws me to them as a photography subject...

Something To Bug The "Purists"

Here's something different for you to look at. What do you think it is (or was)?

That’s the problem with art: what is and what isn’t art is decided by very few people. Bono on Bono, p73

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Wayne Dyer

So... Does it matter what tools one uses to make their art? Or do you think one must stick to very defined guidelines to create anything of relevance or significance?

From Wikipedia:
A purist is one who desires that a particular item remain true to its essence and free from adulterating or diluting influences. The term may be used in almost any field, and can be applied either to the self or to others. Use of the term may be either pejorative or complimentary, depending on context. Because the appellation depends on subjective notions of what is "pure" as opposed to "adulterating" as applied to any particular item, conflict can arise both as to whether a person so labeled is actually a purist and as to whether that is desirable.

Here's a short discussion on what is fake, or not:

P.S. The above creations were made from one photograph of a rusty light pole in Perth City... a pole that does exist, but is now only distantly related to this "art".
