"Eminent Front"

Posted by
Denny Jump (Bellevue, WA, United States) on 14 March 2018 in Landscape & Rural.

With an inspiration from "The Who's 1982 song "Eminence Front," I post this sunrise image that I quickly made yesterday, Tuesday, 13 March, 2018.

I arose early in order to prepare for a short trip but after peeking out the front window, I decided to put the plans long enough to grab a few images....Glad I did....I hope you like this image captured from the "Eminent Front" deck of the house ;-)

** Staples Singers - "Respect Yourself"

- " We do not move forward from a middle opinion, which is undemocratic but mediocratic.
We advance from a creative passion "- (Edgar Morin)

- "To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at
that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy."
- Henri Cartier-Bresson.

::Words from Denny:
- My beliefs, and values, have always been strongly tied-to music, especially Jazz, and Blues.
- The following artists and lyrics seem to "sum-up" where my spirit resides:
EARTH WIND AND FIRE;
"HOLD ON TO YOUR SPIRIT,
ALWAYS FEEL YOUR SOUL....
HONOR THE MAGIC IN YOUR HEART"; Earth Wind and Fire
