Seasons

Share an image evocative of the weather or represent the current “season of your life” in metaphor.

This week, share what the concept of Seasons means to you. With readers of all ages, backgrounds, and representation from both hemispheres, we can’t wait to see what you share.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 New King James Version (NKJV)

Everything Has Its Time

3 To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:

2 A time to be born,
    And a time to die;
A time to plant,
    And a time to pluck what is planted;
3 A time to kill,
    And a time to heal;
A time to break down,
    And a time to build up;
4 A time to weep,

A time to mourn,

Part III: People, Places & Things

If you want to share a literal image of the actual word, do that. But if you’d rather play with word association, post something that reminds you of the specific word, or something you use the word for, do so. It only has to make sense to you. Have fun and keep on photographing!

“…create an object that has a life of its own…”

Creative words of wisdom.

Keith Goldstein's avatarFor Earth Below

“And if you can find out something about the laws of your own growth and vision as well as those of photography you may be able to relate the two, create an object that has a life of its own, which transcends craftsmanship. That is a long road, and because it must be your own road nobody can teach it to you or find it for you. There are no shortcuts, no rules.”

All these photos were taken in my former home Rochdale Village, Jamaica, Queens, New York approximately 5 or 6 years ago. I used my Samsung cell phone not the one I have now but whatever Samsung mobile I had at that time. I’m an Android Woman.  I now live in Brooklyn, NY.
