How beautiful are these humans?  These images?

Darkness...

Because 

Light's blinding

No way dividing

What's yours or mine when everything's shining

Your darkness is shining

My darkness is shining

Have faith in ourselves

Truth.

"Alexander Ebert"

If I could be any fashion photographer it would be this.  It seems to live inside me already.  Thank you David Bellemere.

great BIG SUN inside you.

Yeah, that’s what an avocado is: frozen sun. we eat the sun and then we walk around feeling warm.

'is the sun in all that beer you drink?'

yes, it is.

'is the sun inside of me?'

more than anybody I have ever known

'and I think you got a great BIG SUN inside of you!'

thank you, my love."-

Words for you...

“I believe a strong woman may be stronger than a man, particularly if she happens to have love in her heart. I guess a loving woman is indestructible.” 

― John Steinbeck, East of Eden

Song for you

...

   Johnny's always running around
Trying to find certainty.
He needs all the world to confirm
That he ain't lonely.
Mary counts the wall
Says she should be used to it...

something you have seen before, new.

things to never tire of...stars, clouds, the ocean, the breeze, magic hour, looking up into the canopy of the trees.

“There are things than cannot ever occur with any precision. They are too big and too magnificent to be contained in mere facts. They are merely trying to occur, they are checking whether the ground of reality can carry them. And they quickly withdraw, fearing to loose their integrity in the frailty of realization. ” 

― Bruno Schulz, Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass
