Delores
made this image right in front of the Clam Digger Inn at Pine Knoll
Shores NC, a small community near Emerald Island NC. The lines are clear
as to where it leads. A place where there is nothing to do, no one to
answer to, no right or wrong, a place where everything is given without
want or need. In this place everything is working in perfect harmony
with the universe.
I
know that’s deep, but it goes a long way as to the artist’s state of
mind the moment a masterpiece is created. Photography has taught me a
lot about life. Looking inside and trying not to resist that state of
having everything and needing nothing. Like going out to photograph and
expecting nothing and seeing everything. I attempt to enter this place
when I use my camera. When I can get there, it allows me to see the
beauty of a landscape. Other times, it’s the moment of a perfect gesture
when someone allows their inner self to be revealed. If I’m lucky my
camera will be ready as well.
Striving
to improve and reaching for perfection is endless. It’s a consistent
expansion of self, in every aspect of living. Just about the time I
think I’m getting it, a teacher arrives to show me more. For me this is
the never ending and unreachable Path to Perfection.
