Guy Tal - What it's all about
Another absolutely great article from Guy Tal.
"... So, no matter what “it” you look at, it’s all about… absolutely nothing. No matter who you are, what you do, where you live, what you love, what you are passionate about, what you photograph, or what you think “it” is all about – it’s not. Except, that is, to you and to those you touch, right here, right now. Take a few steps back and any “it” is not even a ripple in the great ocean of time and space.
If “it” is about anything at all, it’s about not wasting the gift of this blissful blip of an existence as a conscious, feeling being. “It” is about putting things in perspective, finding peace and fulfillment and, having found it, helping others find their own.
As you go about what you do, for joy or for work or for any other purpose, remind yourself some time that there is nothing more fleeting to a living being than time. It’s really all about using it wisely. ..."

You know because it hurts
You know because it hurts.
Hey there! Today I want to share another of Guy Tals fantastic articles:
[...] In the hurried, multi-tasking, attention-deficient world we created for ourselves, merely experiencing anything in pure form may require some discipline. What so many ancient cultures knew, we have lost: the importance of being able to focus the mind onto a single thread, prioritizing attention to allow those deeper voices, often lost in the buzz, their proper slice of uninterrupted contemplation. The result: a loss of art, and a rise of “modern” art, devoid of emotion and message — a puzzle for the mind with no right solution; a distraction valued in terms of entertainment and hard currency, rather than enlightenment and beauty. [...]

In the Blink of a Lifetime
Found that interesting journal entry on Guy Tals Blog.
Check it out by clicking here.
"Somewhere in Colorado, a local radio announcer spoke longingly of his “weekend getaway” in the mountains. In this land of opportunity, why would anyone choose a life they need to get away from? Why do so many spend their lives in fear of living; constantly seeking to silence and distract themselves from the mournful calling of unfulfilled dreams? So many work to satisfy others, to mimic others, to become others; willingly sacrificing the majority of their own precious time on this magical Earth in what Thoreau so perfectly termed “a life of quiet desperation”.
Art is about saving emotions
"Art is not about saving time. Art is about saving emotions. Art is about preserving what we experienced and sharing it with our audience in a work of art, a photograph in this instance."
Alain Briot, April 2011
