"Color is joy"

"Color is joy. One does not think joy. One is carried by it. Learn by doing or even better unlearn by doing. The opposite of what you learned. The paradoxical fact in the aesthetic is that theories also true in reverse."

- Ernst Haas

On Inspiration

"I don't want to declare there are no highways of fruitful directions. In learning there are. Follow them, use them and forget them. Don't park. Highways will get you there, but I tell you, don't ever try to arrive. Arrival is the death of inspiration."
~ Ernst Hass

Beginnings

This project, A walk with Light, is in its infancy, embryonic is perhaps more accurate, other than it has been germinating for most of my life. So why now? It was inspired by a number of events and perambulations, but one in particular gave it life, below from a blog entry called Falling Light:

"When I was very young in my to-be-a-photographer journey my friend Ernst Haas had a stuccatoed monologue with me one afternoon, what I wrote down from it later was - 'Go for a walk one day with the light, you will come back changed'".
