For a time through the added privacy of a 35 mm lens, I studied the mystery and gift of life, the essence of the scene, the beauty of our natures, nature and sunlight, and the depth of our emotional seas. A saying came to me in the darkroom one day: at the source of creation is a wish for well being, I believe that is what I was attempting to reinforce and communicate 'sans mots' (without words). Sans mots expired so I had to replace it with sans dire. Speaking French makes me happy, the little I know of it. Je ne sais pas pourquoi, may je le sais. Tres heureuse. Merci. Pretty sounds. And sanskrit mantras... oh my so many amazing things to explore...
