Go beyond the Edges. Fill the Frame With...

2008.01.29
...a pod. "Come to the edge, he said. They said: We are afraid. Come to the edge, he said. They came. He pushed them and they flew.”

Guillaume Apollinaire

an iced gas meter.—“When one jumps over the edge, one is bound to land somewhere.”


D.H. Lawrence

a sales poster.—“They dined on mince, and slices of quince, Which they ate with a runcible spoon; And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, They danced by the light of the moon”—

Edward Lear

a gumball machine.—“I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can't see from the center.”

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

a brown leaf.—“All my life I have lived and behaved very much like the sandpiper - just running down the edges of different countries and continents, 'looking for something'.”—

Elizabeth Bishop

a calligraphy brush.—"I'm not interested in edges. I'm interested in the mass and color, the black and white. The edges happen because the forms get as quiet as they can be. I want the masses to perform. When I work with forms and colors, I get the edge..." —Ellsworth Kelly

long strands.—"Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf."—
Rabindranath Tagore

a red flower.—“It is at the edge of a petal that love waits.”

William Carlos Williams

a just watered leaf.—“What orbit of the planets has put you and me in this place, at this moment? Where time takes a breath, and we dance on the edge of our dreams?”

a leaf with strong lines.—“We live at the edge of the miraculous.”—

Henry Miller

“We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours.”

Dag Hammarskjold

All the photos, save three, were taken this past week at either the garden center or the botanical gardens. I looked beyond the edges.

" Any genuine philosphy leads to action, and from action back again to wonder, to the enduring fact of mystery" Henry Miller.

Your photography is wonderful, your subjects full of the mystery we overlook, as we rush by on our busy ways.. A mighty set. ?:o)

jenmarron Beautiful set - the pictures are gorgeous & I love the accompanying quotes. (Even the Ellsworth Kelly one & I've always detested him. Heh.)
