Swamp Creatures at Dusk

Posted by
Denny Jump (Bellevue, WA, United States) on 30 September 2019 in Abstract & Conceptual.

At sunset, changes begin.
Water mixes with plants to produce visions of creatures;
Light and dark mingle together to frighten the soul;
And the imagination sings!

** 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

The most beautiful lights are those of the evening and the morning
However, I have a preference for the morning light that reveals the surrounding nature to our eyes and travels very quickly
