and to want to go nowhere."

In My Garden
"All those things
That you taught me to fear
I've got them in my garden now
And you're not welcome here..."

We Live in a World...
"We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say, 'It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.' Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes."
- Mr. Fred Rogers

L'esprit de l'escalier
"l’homme sensible, comme moi, tout entier à ce qu’on lui objecte, perd la tête et ne se retrouve qu’au bas de l’escalier" ("a sensitive man, such as myself, overwhelmed by the argument levelled against him, becomes confused and can only think clearly again [when he reaches] the bottom of the stairs").
- Denis Diderot "Paradoxe sur le comédien"

Featured Photographer: Tuane Eggers
"Most of the people I photograph are my friends and
boyfriend. Some of them are strangers or people that I’ve met a few times,
people that I wanted to photograph for the beauty of that moment. The photos
were taken in many places. Many of them were made in the backyard of my house
and in veracious other environments- in nearby cities for example. Sometimes,
the people that I photograph help me to create a special atmosphere for the
picture. I can imagine something, but the picture will always will be a
surprise."
"I was born and live in a small town in the south of Brazil
with about 70,000 inhabitants. I never lived exactly in the middle of nature,
but I have always cultivated a love for it. I feel that closeness of nature is
increasingly necessary. What can be more beautiful, fascinating and mysterious
then nature?"
"I don’t have any frequent rhythm for photographing. I feel
when I am not inspired, I try to enjoy the moment in other ways because I think
photography is not for every moment. But at other times when an idea comes to
mind and I’m available, I rush to the camera. I’m a self-taught photographer."
"The most of these pictures are film. I started shooting with
digital cameras, but I fell in love with analogue photography over time. I like
filter effects on analog photographs. I’m using a digital Zenit and film
Canon now, but I also like medium format. I wish to know and experiment more
with them."
"I think a perfect day for me is a sunny day of autumn or
spring in a field or another nature place with my boyfriend and my friends and
my camera and bicycles and good music. A day that we can forget all the weight
of the world and just be there, feeling the wind in our faces and feeling
alive."

They are Nations
The animal shall not be measured by man.
In a world older and more
complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with
extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear.
They are not brethren; they are not underlings;
they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow
prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth.
~Henry Beston, The
Outermost House, 1928
