While up north this past week, we walked through a number of galleries showcasing nature art. So, I took a second look at the haiku I wrote earlier this week on how photography or painting in the hands of artists like yourself is really like a tender rendering of reality - which no machine can duplicate. Here is the haiku suite i re-wrote:
/
“Capturing a view: By negotiating with reality, I am not a passive copy machine; I am the darkroom where a view is curated into art.”
/
What the Mind Sees
* I. Captured by the lens, Not a mirror reflection— A created world.
* II. Lenses can’t capture A negotiated view— The mind translates it.
* III. Beyond lens or cloth, Unbound by two dimensions— What a mind renders.
* IV. Looking through the lens, I will not copy the world; I choose to curate.
* V. My reality— Filtered through raw perception, I am the darkroom.
I am currently jet lagged from returning from Kauai Wednesday.
All my finds were on that beautiful island, some physical and some things I found within my own noggin.
Topo Designs has dessert shorts and pants. I absolutely wore those the entire time we explored the island. 10/10 comfy af and they made me look like a true explorer.
Pineapple and coconuts. I found them everywhere I bought them. Obsessed.
I also found the beauty of less. The beauty of calm. The beauty of being present.
That island is pure magic and I have never in my life felt anxious to leave a place. I’m taking the simplicity of island life and applying it to my life here in the mainland.
