Take a Dip into the Dye

I've always been a fan of wildly crazy hair colors, like hot hot pink hair and bright blue, etc. The bummer for me is that the amount of bleaching my hair would need to go all out like that would ultimately leave me bald. Then this whole thing about dip-dye hair started and who knows? Maybe it's too fashionable right now to do much with it, but it sure looks purty and fun and easy to do. The best part? When you're done with it, just chop off the bottom few inches of hair, like you're gettin' a trim. No harm done. Here's some photos :

Self-Portraits for Thought

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera.  ~Lewis Hine

Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be.  ~Duane Michals

Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again.  ~Henri Cartier-Bresson

I just think it's important to be direct and honest with people about why you're photographing them and what you're doing.  After all, you are taking some of their soul.  ~Mary Ellen Mark

You don't take a photograph, you make it.  ~Ansel Adams

All photos are accurate.  None of them is the truth.  ~Richard Avedon

The goal is not to change your subjects, but for the subject to change the photographer.  ~Author Unknown

And my own:

Photography is heaven

There's no way for me to share anything I love without sharing this photograph by Minor White, a photographer whose work showcases mid-twentieth century America.

 Our hopes are that this blog will be in most ways a culture, arts, and fashionably inspirational blog so I'll leave you off with this quote by Minor White; give time for it to sink in:

"No matter how slow the film, Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer It has chosen."
