The real journey of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.
Marcel Proust
I love that quote, found on Scott Stulberg's 'About' page.
Manic sent me an email telling me about a photographer called Scott Stulberg . His website is quite quite stunning.
Thanks manic.

All I can say about the photography at that site is WOW! Amazing stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Those photos are amazing alright. I have spent a pleasant time parusing al of your latest stuff ... once again, thoroughly enjoyable and informative and I agree with all your political statements! However I hate to say this as a kiwi - but I prefer marmite ...
It's a great site, isn't it?
I have to say, Vegemite and marmite, it all sounds yukkie to me. I'll stick with my chocolate paste. That's delicious!
hi twitches ... it's stunning, isn't it :)
Lol, hi chiefbiscuit ... sorry to take so long to reply but been wandering. The marmite ... do you know, I switch between the two, it's been vegemite since I was travelling.
Chicken manic lol. Thanks for the site, it's fantastic. :)
I love that quote too. Joyce might add, "To describe what you discover, you will need to create a new language too."
I guess poems are all about finding new language, new ways to express things. Poems are the opposite of idiom. And poems I think are better suited to describing the familiar anew rather than describing the unfamiliar. We don't have epic poems today describing adventures; these are written instead as novels. To me, poems really only work if at least half of the activity is in the reader's brain. That is like a foundation upon which you build -- only you build not knowing whether the foundation is there or not. Some people won't get your poem and there's nothing to be done. It is a little like fine art, where so much depends on what is outside the frame. I sometimes wonder if the picture is framing the world, rather than the world framing the picture.
Also I prefer Vegemite. I like the way hot sauces make your mouth burn, but I'm not crazy about the way Marmite does it. I keep some in the cupboard though -- for entertaining guests.
