delving into the wisdom of absurdity in whimsical way
this blog is about paradox.
through my questions, i hope to encounter the paradox within belief, that place where there is not one answer but many contradictory ones.
each question, each drawing is an invitation to join me in allowing what appears absurd to take us to a wisdom beyond linear thinking.
as long as we question, we are free. free to see, to feel and to express who we are. and to connect collaboratively with one another.

"the emperor's new clothes" by hans christian andersen
this fairy tale has been a companion to me as i have traveled through my life.
briefly, it is about an emperor who was deceived by two tailors who said they were making a set of clothing out of a "dream" fabric. in reality, they used no fabric at all. to make their scam complete, they announced that only those who were wise enough would be able to see the beautiful clothing. and so, no one, not even the emperor, admitted to being unable to see it.
wearing his new "clothing", the emperor paraded through his kingdom. no one questioned his appearance; no one wished to appear less than wise.
until a small child asked, "why is the emperor not wearing any clothes?"
so it is that i ask, if i question rather than believe i am wise, what will i see?

If you take on vacation, do you still think of home ?? Perhaps, when i were at home with myself i would take my camera on vacation :)
if i am on vacation and think of home, i might be glad to be away from the responsiblities but yet missing the gentle comforts of the familiar.
if you took your camera on vacation, what would you wish to photograph?
People, Bulidings, landscapes, animals, food, and haha....my partner who travels with me :)....and ya, my hotel rooms ...my belongings ....the stuff i bought ....and when i reached home ...the familiar faces that welcome me back from vacation :)
and within memory's photographs, which image would you prefer............you on vacation or the you at home?
haha...both, the carefree me at vacation....,the affectionate me at home :)....how about you, Anne?? What would kind of photos would you take ?? And which will you remember ??
if there were photo's of me on vacation, i could look back and see the expression on my face, and perhaps feel what it was like to be living my life in new ways.
sometimes, it seems that i feel more at home with myself when i am on vacation...........
