“Philosophically considered, the universe is composed of Nature and Soul. Strictly speaking, therefore, all that is separate from us, all which philosophy distinguishes as not me, that is both Nature and Art, all other men and my own body, must be ranked under this name, Nature. Nature, in the common sense, refers to essences unchanged by man: space, the air, the river, the leaf. Art is applied to the mixture of his will with the same things, as in a house, a canal, a statue, a picture. But his operations, taken together, are so insignificant, a little chipping, baking, patching, and washing, that in an impression so grand as that of the world on the human mind they do not vary the result.”
— from Nature, by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Stages — Computer Art by kenne
I see what is
and imagine ways
to make it different.
Imagination allows me
to become a maker of
a new image out of self
thereby merging the
real with the ideal —
not a difference in kind.

Ivyleaf Groundcherry (Physalis hederifolia) Lantern-shaped Pods, Which Hold the Fruit — Art image by kenne
I love capturing the moment,
then transforming it
to another moment —
look closely and you
will see the lanterns
begin to light the ground.

One doesn’t stop framing.
It doesn’t turn off and turn on.
It’s on all the time.”

Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished
there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again.

“Instead of just recording reality,
photographs have become the norm
for the way things appear to us,
thereby changing the very idea
of reality, and of realism.”

It’s migration time for Turkey Vulture, so it’s not unusual to see a lot of these big vultures in the morning and late afternoon.
Storms have been in the area with 30-40 mph wind gusts. We live near the Tanque Verde Wash where many of the migrating
birds roost overnight in the cottonwoods near the wash. Yesterday afternoon storms in southern Arizona caused the migrating
vultures to start coming in early by the hundreds. Some landed in dead trees near
Tanuri Ridge where I was able to take these photos,
after which they took off across the wash to spend the night in cottonwoods south of the wash.

Lower Sabino Canyon Landscape Photos by kenne (September 4, 2015)
“There was another America out there that remained unsung;
a rawer, more primitive America, where the spirit had not
been tamed by the restless machine of modern materialism.”

Grunge Art Window by
In Tijuana
they said Juárez
was the pueblo where old
whores went to die, where
25 cent bought flesh
by the river, no
body loved you,Sister —
so close to Texas
so far from
Revolución.

Geological Strata Along US 50 In Nevada (Loving the contrast!) — Image by kenne
“What counts is to be in the world, the posture is immaterial, so long as one is on earth.
To breathe is all that is required, there is no obligation to ramble, or receive company,
you may even believe yourself dead on condition you make no bones about it,
what more liberal regimen could be imagined, I don’t know, I don’t imagine.
No pomt under such circumstances in saying I am somewhere else, someone else,
such as I am I have all I need to hand, for to do what, I don’t know, all I have to do,
there I am on my own again at last, what a relief that must be. Yes, there are moments,
like this moment, when I seem almost restored to the feasible. Then it goes, all goes,
and I’m far again, with a far story again, I wait for me afar for my story to begin, to end,
and again this voice cannot be mine. That’s where I’d go, if I could go,
that’s who I’d be, if I could be.”
–from Texts for Nothing by Samuel Beckett
