Cloud Reflections and Mt Moran by Ansel Adams

-



I'm touched by Ansel Adams's talent. I always had higher appreciation for painting than photography. This point of view has been changed since I started to learn more about photography. They both are equality artful. Ansel Adams had said that people may not believe and trust what they see in a painting because it's a human creation. However, what you capture in a photo is a reality.

Salam Daisy Jan. I love Ansel Adams' works. I have been fortunate enough to see a few of his photographs up close. He loved California and has taken breathtaking pictures of sequoia trees in these parts. Good for you to have such a great artist as your inspiration to appreciate photography. I am a spectator of arts myself, but find that through internet, photography is one art form that can be replicated exactly and perfectly each time it is accessed by millions and billions of people all over the world. It is an art form truly accessible by all, and I find that really significant. Be good my dear and keep writing these thoughtful posts. Take care my friend.

I remember once when I was in school, couple of friends suggested skipping the class and going to see a movie. Of course the nerd in me couldn't handle the stress of missing a lecture. So I announced that I wouldn't go with them but I would gladly go to class and share my notes with whoever likes to have them later. I don't recall the content of that lecture nor do I recall the course but I never forget that I didn't watch 'the Banu Ordibehesht' with my friends.

"Be a rainbow in someone’s cloud"

Photo from here . “God puts rainbows in the clouds so that each of us- in the dreariest and most dreaded moments- can see a possibility of hope.” Maya Angelou  Some time ago, I had the pleasure of attending one of Maya Angelou’s talks. I was very excited about listing to her. When I bought the ticket, I told to myself that was an early birthday present for me. I went for the talk to be inspired and to figure out why this woman was so successful as she was. Although I never regret going to that talk (since I learned one or two things), the talk was not as inspiring as I hoped. I had heard better talks before. She is not one of those people that I call gifted public speakers. She was witty and smart but didn’t really do it for me. However, what I learned was that I can be a rainbow in someone’s cloud. When she was talking about a rainbow, she was talking about her cripple poor uncle who not only changed her life but had an impact on other kids in the neighbourhood. When she was t...
