“Not all those who wander are lost” J. R. R. Tolkien
Quote a Week Tuesday: 2016-04-05
For this week’s quotes, I have chosen something, that all of us, who tend to use the excuse of doing things “mañana” i.e. “tomorrow”, can take to heart:
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Mark Twain

“There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer” Ansel Adams
Quote a Week Tuesday 2016-03-29
The choice for this week’s quote has to be one of my most favourite subjects?
What on earth could that be you ask?
Well, if you don’t know, you obviously missed my site completely!
Food?
Well, I do eat, sometimes 😉
Music?
No, not really, but I am a fan.
Art?
Well, sort of, I guess.
Photography?
Yes! Finally!
From one of my top favourite pix snappers aka photographers:
“A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words” Ansel Adams

“The empty vessel makes the loudest sound” William Shakespeare
Quote a Week Tuesday: 2016-03-14
I have often been teased about my totally “empty desk” at work and when this quote caught my eye today, I could not help laughing out loud, and for quite a while I might add 😉 Well, if the shoe fits…
“If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?” Albert Einstein

“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer” Sun Tzu
Quote a Week Tuesday, 2016-03-08
For this week’s quote, I have chosen the adage of friends versus enemies. Most of us may have found out who your true friends are, when push comes to shove.
Therefore, the original version of keeping one’s enemies closer easily translates to this humorous version of
“With friends like that who needs enemas?”

“Work, really? Again? Didn’t I just do that yesterday?
Quote a Week Tuesday: 2016-03-01
Work, what can I say? Can’t live with it, can’t live with it 😉
Getting into a right frame of mind at work, especially when the cups are overflowing every which way and the better part of the day spent either firefighting or tilting against windmills. The one thing you need to remember, well several things actually, but if you are working in a “desk job” as a payed employee, it’s just work and five o’clock will arrive at some point of the day!
Therefore, while getting into that good place in my mind before ending up in a straight jacket, I decided to look into the humorous side of the working life 😛 After all, if a laugh a day keeps the good doctor away, maybe a few more will save the rest of the week!
Here are a few gems I found in order of appearance:
“I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours” Jerome K. Jerome
“Personally, I have nothing against work, particularly when performed, quietly and unobtrusively, by someone else” Barbara Ehrenreich
“When a man tells you he got rich through hard work, ask him whose?” Don Marquis

“Live Long and Prosper” Mr Spock, Star Trek
Quote a Week Tuesday, 2016-02-23
For today’s quote of the week, I have chosen something a bit more serious… What? Moi? Serious? Yes, yes, I know it is odd, but I do have a serious side too 😉
But seriously, life is short, live it to the fullest! Enjoy the moments and the littlest things!
Here is a quote by one of my most favourite people in the world (and heaven), Leonard Nimoy:
“A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP” Leonard Nimoy

Oh, but wait! I think there is proof to the contrary, as found out by the vigilant people searching for the ultimate truth ;P

‘To be or not to be, that is the question’ Hamlet
Quote a Week Tuesday, 2016-02-09
“To be, or not to be…” is the opening phrase of a soliloquy in the “Nunnery Scene” of William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet. In the speech, a despondent Prince Hamlet contemplates death and suicide.
On the lighter side of this quote, I have adapted it to the world of blogging.
Sometimes we, bloggers, hit a wall, yes that does actually happen more often than anyone realizes! During this period, while banging our heads against the wall, we are asking ourselves “Why are you blogging? Why are you blogging? Why are you blogging?”
Maybe it is the knock of the wall that makes us come to our senses, and at this time a proverbial lamp lights upon our collective heads. And it’s when we realize, the question is actually wrong!?
So why not consider this question instead:
“To blog or not to blog? That’s a trick question, isn’t it?”
And this response to the question is:
“We blog, therefore we are!”

“The only photograph I regret is the one I did not take” Gun Roswell
Quote a Week Tuesday, 2016-02-02
People often ask me what kind of camera I use. I must confess, after being a pix snapper for forty years, I have come to the conclusion, that the camera does not make the shot, I do. I used to drag all sorts of equipment with me even on travels, but since the advent of the digital format, I prefer to carry the smallest one with me, or just the mobile phone.
Of course there are advantages to SLR and various lens options, but then again, I rarely get the opportunity to just spend my time pic snapping anymore and when the opportunity for a great shot arises, I don’t care what camera I have with me, as long as I get the shot.
There are those who disagree with me and I agree not all of the snaps turn out as I imagined, but for me personally, the idea is more important than technical perfection. An image can be perfect in all ways, but still have no content. Even an out of focus image with a great vision, can be perfect. And in the end, if you yourself like it, then it is great!
Meanwhile, I think we can all agree on Chase Jarvis’ quote:
Rantings Of A Third Kind
