Oops!
Before dashing to the beach at La Division with my friends here in Ecuador, I updated a post on the wrong site! Forgive me for juggling way too many balls and getting some of them mixed up!
Here’s the catch-up post: http://zeebradesigns.wordpress.com/2012/05/27/major-tom-to-ground-control/

What? But why?!!!
So last Thursday evening, I stayed in a small hostal in town so that I could easily catch an early-morning bus to Manta. (Ecuador) Because my internet connection at the house is painfully sluggish, I looked forward to checking into the hostal and catching up via their much-faster wi-fi options.

“The civilized man not only clears the land permanently to a great extent, and cultivates open fields, but he tames and cultivates to a certain extent the forest itself. By his mere presence, almost, he changes the natuere of the trees as no other creature does… It has lost its wild, damp, and shaggy look; the countless fallen and decaying trees are gone, and consequently that thick coat of moss which lived on them is gone too.” Thoreau – Maine Woods 
“If a man walk in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer; but if he spends his day as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making earth bald before her time, he is esteemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.

Long ago I realized that many highly-talented artists were lousy teachers. Rare is the person whose talents win the respect of the masses yet is also a sensitive and gifted teacher. Otto Von Muncho shares his photos and knowledge while coaching and encouraging others. He is tireless with his positive enthusiasm. Check out his blog and glean some of his wisdom. http://munchow.wordpress.com/category/properties-of-photography/ I am humbled and honored that he selected my blog for the “Very Inspiring Blogger” Award.
According to tradition, I am to share seven things about myself and pass the award to 7 more bloggers. I smirk; are you ready? Continue reading
