“Technical perfection is not the goal of photography: seeing life is.” – Ellis Vener
Thought the quote was right on. I feel my aging and joy of photography have brought seeing life into my world.
Seeing Life
Monte Stevens
Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

Absolutely, Monte. Couldn’t agree more. We too often get so hung up on perfection that we stop seeing. And more importantly we stop feeling.
Nice photo, too. Love that yellow and blue! Have a great weekend, wherever you are!
Monte Stevens
I know from your images that you are one who sees and feels. Hope you two enjoy the anniversay weekend!

Thanks, Monte. We’re headed for the mountains, with at least one camera! 🙂

Your wife and one camera make for a good trip. Enjoy!

Perfect, Monte. A camera in our hands brings us to great awareness. I’m glad that I picked up the hobby and know people, such as yourself, who understand it at that level. 🙂

You bring up another good point about photography and that is connecting and meeting other photographers. We get to witness their journey as they share what they see in life. Pretty dang good stuff if ask me.
