On this trip to Paris, I decided to make a few photos where I added some motion blur (others will follow). There's a sort of timelessness in the ebb and flow of the crowds that parade down streets and in front of century's old buildings. It brought to mind the Talking Heads lyric 'Same as it ever was, same as it ever was.' 

Smile, and the world will smile back at you.

I too will always choose to be seeing, feeling and living. No age limits.

The light at the end of the day in Paris can be spectacular. In this instance, it helped accentuate the bond between this woman and her dog.

Photographers are nothing more than experienced window washers; carefully washing away the detritus of daily life in an effort to make sense of the world around them.

Is art to be found in the randomness of unaligned elements and emotions that momentarily align themselves in a shared experience... but just as quickly dissipate into thin air?

Today, each small herd stands as living history—hoofed reminders of the American frontier and the deep roots they hold in our nation's story. Every snort, kick, and dust bath they take connects us to a time before fences, highways, and the hum of daily modern life.

Do we live our lives as we want them to be? Or, are we just characters in someone else's momentary fiction?
