DON'T TRY
The epitaph on Charles Bukowki's head stone reads 'DON"T TRY'
I read an article about Charles Bukowski this week and discovered this interesting fact. The interviewer recalls a conversation with Linda Bukowski who explained the meaning thus.
"Yeah, I get so many different ideas from people that don’t understand what that means. Well, Don’t Try? Just be a slacker? lay back?” No!
Don’t try, do. Because if you’re spending your time trying something, you’re not doing it…”
Charles Bukowski, the man cuts through the shit with a large knife.

Red Roses for my Valentine
Couldn't put this in yesterdays post (bit of a clash) and it is Valentines Day after all.
Choose a rose and send it to the one you love...

My City of Sydney
I miss the glow of you..
Is that right. Long time since that piece of musical liquid has slid through my inner ear.
Last weekend. A good one. Just an overnighter, but we packed in the thrills. Galleries, openings, coffees, window (and actual) shopping and the best Sushi salad in town at Jackies in Paddo.
Three images from Paddington....

Night Vision
Perhaps for me one of the great things about traveling is the chance to see something new, or rather to see something, perhaps familiar, in a different way.
It's not always the right time of day for that particular image you are after. Still there are only opportunities out there. You don't just need your eyes open, you need to have your mind open to all the new opportunities that arise from moment to moment and the possibilities to be creative within these opportunities.
Always a big fan of line, shape, form and colour the after dark images make it easy to ignore details and really concentrate on composition and the beautiful ways that colours can be heightened to create a kind of magical landscape of shapes and form. Your eyes can play with the colours, the shapes, and not be distracted by the need to engage with the details.
Some more images taken during my travels on the south coast of NSW with my lovely daughter Olive (who resides in the second image with me).
These images taken in Coledale and Kiama.
