Quotes of the Day

.

"Salt water will cure anything; whether it be from tears, sweat or the sea."

=========================

"An inexhaustible good nature is one of the most precious gifts of heaven, spreading itself like oil over the troubled sea of thought, and keeping the mind smooth and equable in the roughest weather."-- Washington Irving
===================================
Only one life, twill soon be past, only what's done for Christ will surely last.
==================================



The difference between the recorder photographer... and the artist photographer... is that the artist will, by experience and learning... force the camera to paint the imagination... the emotion... the concept and the intent... rather than faithfully and truthfully reproduce an unnatractive and unflattering record.







Edward Augustine Cranfield - 1966



=================================



When the tide goes out, we'll be able to see who has been swimming naked.



=================================



A politician will promise you ice cream but never tells you who has to milk the cow.



=================================




“When we talk about settling the world's problems, we're barking up the wrong tree. The world is perfect. It's a mess. It has always been a mess. We are not going to change it. Our job is to straighten out our own lives.” ~ Joseph Campbell (1904-1987)



=================================



"I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might-have-been has never been, but a has-been was once an are."-- Milton Berle



About Me

My photo
Clyde
Hampton Roads, VA, United States
- October 10, 2008 - Welcome Aboard! I am a freelance photographer, with emphasis on 'free.' I like to shoot special events and Boats and share the pictures with anybody interested. Most of my images are captured around Historic Olde Towne, hence the name. Sometimes I slip down to the seashore for therapy, so you'll be treated with a few beach pictures from time to time. Check Complete Profile for links to other blogs and galleries. http://www.flickr.com/photos/oldetownephotos/.....Find me on Facebook at > http://www.facebook.com/oldetownephotos..... May you always have a gentle breeze and following seas. Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover. ---------- Mark Twain
