The Crayons quote

     See the crayons. They are lined up so nicely- white, blue, green, red, and yellow – just like the seasons. They’re all pointed in the right direction, they’re all about the same length, they’re all brand new – never used. It’s a simple enough analogy – balance, harmony, equalness of position, etc. They aren’t out of their sequence or facing the wrong way or of unequal size.
     Not too bad for home grown photography.

You must not know too much or be too precise or scientific about birds and trees and flowers and watercraft; a certain free-margin, and even vagueness - ignorance, credulity - helps your enjoyment of these things.- Walt Whitman
