A MAN SAID TO THE UNIVERSE


“A man said to the universe: 'Sir, I exist!' 
'However,' replied the universe. 
'The fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation.” 

~ Stephen Crane, War Is Kind and Other Poems

KELLY HOFER


In Kelly Hofer's about page in his website, he introduces himself as a media producer who used to be a member of a Hutterite colony in Manitoba. Although his culture is not supportive of photography, he clearly has the passion and the talent to be the artist he is now.


His shots featuring the people inside the Hutterite community are absolutely stunning. I especially love the faces of carefree children and young adults who seem to just enjoy the surroundings and each other's company.


Hopefully Mr. Hofer will be able to continue doing what he loves to do and achieves all the success that he deserves.

FURY


Like a gentle rain, there is something soothing about a violent storm complete with a rumble of thunder and a crack of lightning. It is always a temptation to go out and be in the midst of it all, and just be in awe of the magnificence of nature unleashing its primal fury.

REQUIEM


Under the wide and starry sky,
Dig the grave and let me lie.
Glad did I live and gladly die,
    And I laid me down with a will.

This be the verse you grave for me:
Here he lies where he longed to be;
Home is the sailor, home from sea,
    And the hunter home from the hill.

~ Robert Louis Stevenson ~

I GOT THIS GRANNY

I believe most of my generation had done this for a parent or grandparent at some point.
