"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." --T. E. Lawrence Another in a series of reflective self-portraits. Day 46 of 365 Copyright 2015 Scott Norris Photography www.scottnorrisphotography.com
With the state of current affairs in our world today, the need to unplug, get outside, forget about everything, and just be in nature is paramount. This shot was me doing just that. I wanted to create something that was peaceful and calm, yet also had a dark moody undertone that reflected the nature of the human race. We are all so different, yet we are also all created equal. Of all the unknowns in our world, I do know this: we are born, we live, and we die. You have a choice on how you live. Choose wisely. The title of this photograph comes from a song by Beth Nielson Chapman in which she deals with the death of a spouse and acknowledges her own mortality. "All alone, I came into the world All alone, I will someday die Solid stone is just sand and water, baby Sand and water, and a million years gone by" --Beth Nielson Chapman, Sand and Water http://amzn.to/1WRRnrl Day 45 of 365 Image copyright 2015 Scott Norris Photography www.scottnorrisphotography.com
"He who postpones the hour of living is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses." --Horace The Milwaukee River under the Locust Street bridge. Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Day 44 of 365 Copyright 2015 Scott Norris Photography www.scottnorrisphotography.com
