Eye 7/52

I took this picture of Snoop's eyes. I know it may sound crazy but for some reason her eyes remind me of my aunt La's. I am not sure it if it the darkness of them or the color, but sometimes when Snoop looks up at me I can't help but to remember her...

Eyes are something I never take for granted. I guess being that I have always had to wear glasses, almost got hit in the eye on that horrilbe day and could have lost it, plus being that at the unheard of age of 20 I had to have a detached retenea surgrey. If they had not done it when they did I could have gotten permentaly blind in that eye. To not be able to see...I can not even imagine that darkness, that lost feeling. I think people can really brighten up their face with their eyes, or be worn out and sad looking. They are the gate way to our souls. I truly think so at least. My picture was taken in my bed late at night.

FUEGO 6/52

I picked the theme of FIRE for the week...I thought it would be fun to set an idea on fire so... I first printed the word DRAMA on a sheet of white paper...Set it on fire over my fire place and took a picture of it...I exaggerated the coloring of the flame and paper with our photo editor...And added a frame to it - JJ

My picture comes from a cold night in our old house in Belgium...there is nothing better than the smell of a fireplace. Fire is one of the most un stable elements in the world......as well one of the prettiest. It can bring life by defrosting your toes on a cold night, and can take away life by spreading and destroying everything that dare stay in it's path. I am glad that Jen picked fire since I had this awesome photo.

Luna 5/52

I picked the moon because I am a moon child. Being born under the sign of Cancer. I figured it was fitting to pick it. I have always loved the moon. Isn't it funny that something so pretty is dead? A huge rock that has no light of its own? But controls our tides, reflects the light of another star, affects peoples moons, has endless legends about it and poems....I love the moon.
My picture was taken in our front yard, through a tree that is in the corner.

Nothing that is can pause or stay; The moon will wax, the moon will wane, The mist and cloud will turn to rain, The rain to mist and cloud again, Tomorrow be today.

-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Cradling the moon...Steve took this picture of my hand and the moon Saturday night- JJ

H20 4/52

I am going to just post some quotes with my picture this week. As you can tell topic is water.

“Water is life's mater and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water

-ALbert Szent

Nothing in the world is more flexible and yielding than water. Yet when it attacks the firm and the strong, none can withstand it, because they have no way to change it. So the flexible overcome the adamant, the yielding overcome the forceful. Everyone knows this, but no one can do it.”

-Lao Tzu

In an age when man has forgotten his origins and is blind even to his most essential needs for survival, water along with other resources has become the victim of his indifference”

I took this picture while we were at Ivars which is a restaurant on the port of Seattle.

All of the Seagulls where playing in the water except for this one outcast...
