One of my favorite quotes of late has been, “anything more than 500 yards from the car is not worth photographing” but that’s just because I’m lazy. :~)

Thanks Dianne, I think “defining success” warrants more discussion.

I love your “Lone Man” series! I am so glad it’s not finished.

I am inspired by the quotes everyone has posted. Here is one of my favorites:

“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful”…Albert Schweitzer.

I will add my two cents to this….I find that I need to define for myself what “success” means. When I do this, this quote becomes more meaningful.

Thanks!

“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” Henry David Thoreau

Glad to hear that you’re back safely. I try to keep reminding myself that my (photographic) journey will be a lonely one most of the time since I’m the only one who knows where I’m headed and where I’m trying to go. Oh…great photo…is a series ever done?

“We deceive ourselves when we fancy that only weakness needs support. Strength needs it far more.” Madame Swetchine

I think I saw this quote for the first time in a US Navy exchange ad. This was in reference to supporting military members. As my husband sails off to assist with the crisis in Haiti, it comes to mind once again.

I also think of myself as a strong person, and have posted this as a reminder. It is okay to have people who encourage and commend you. Not everything has to be a critique. Whether in life or in art.

Cole, you continue to inspire me to go out and shoot. I currently live in the least inspiring place I have ever been. I also have friends and family who appreciate how I see the world around me. It keeps me searching out that next great shot.

“The artist has an enormous role in the enhancement of today’s and the creation of tomorrow’s reality. He operates in a rank in advance of science as to the necessities and requirements of Man. The elevation of a culture can be measured directly by the numbers of its people working in the field of aesthetics.”–L. Ron Hubbard
