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.
ReplyDeleteThose 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 ...
ReplyDeleteIt's a great site, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI 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 :)
ReplyDeleteLol, 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."
ReplyDeleteI 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.
