Sex in Action

 Just read this about Sir Peter Smithers, the supposed inspiration for Flemming's James Bond.
Inspired myself, I went on to read other information and found this quote in a NYT article that was just so satisfying I couldn't help but share it:

{His lush photographic images of flowers won eight gold medals from the horticultural society, where some of them hang. They have been called "floral pornography."
Sir Peter fleshed out this idea in an interview with The New York Times in 1987.}

"This is Playboy in flowers," he said. "What are flowers but sex in action? The bee performs the wedding. I take the pictures on the wedding day. Two days later, the flowers are exhausted."
Magnolia

What can you say to that?

From Where?

A door handle
to open, 
the patiently waiting dzezva behind glass.
How often it bekons
the reflection,
mother's cheek & father's
bone,
eye in diffused light
or hair.
 Iron gates
closed in
or maybe safe.
Sometimes I notice,
others not.
Sometimes the blood calls
others.

Coffee & Photo = Art

 I've been using my Blackberry phone camera exclusively now for 2 years and I have some pretty amazing photographs.  I don't pretend to be a 'professional photographer'- but I know a good photo..my little Blackberry really does a great job, is accurate, the lighting is phenomenal ( mostly I love the way  it makes me look ultra  fabulous, erasing hints of wrinkles and uneven planes on my face...) but of course, MORE importantly!!!  it gets a good shot right and the results are pretty detailed, in comparison what I see from friends' IPhones or what  ever else there is out there.

With my other blogs, I always thought to create a 'Photo a Day' section, but being a Pisces I could never decide what the theme would be. Like you know, people have '365 Days of Food' or 'A Photo a Day of Kate & Sue @Yoga Practice'. For days now I am still undecided - so just now I thought I would go with gut instinct and post a photo everyday weekly of a pretty little ritual that I have been doing everyday for years anyway....taking pictures of
....pictures of Coffee Grounds! In the bottom of my cup! I know, huh!?
Sometimes your creativity is just staring you in the face, blending in with the scenery, begging to be recognized. And suddenly, you're on it! (to be continued..)
