fodder

the pebbles you've arranged,
in the sand they're strange.
they speak to me like constellations,
as we lie here.

    Short Notice and Close Range

    "One must be able to gain an understanding at short notice and close range of the beauties of character, intellect, and spirit so as to be able to draw out the best qualities and make them show in the outer aspect of the sitter.
    To do this one must not have a too pronounced notion of what constitutes beauty in the external and, above all, must not worship it.
    To worship beauty for its own sake is narrow, and one surely cannot derive from it that aesthetic pleasure which comes from finding beauty in the commonest things."

    - Imogen Cunningham

    I wonder how much of this is true or practised.
