Timothy O'sullivan Was, It Seems To Me,

Change No One. Change Nothing. React To No One, React To Nothing. Do Not Live In The Past And Do Not, Worry About The Future. Stay In The Eternal Now, Where All Is Well.

Learn To Be Quiet.

Why Do Most Great Pictures Look Uncontrived? Why Do Photographers Bother With The Deception, Especially Since It So Often Requires The Hardest Work Of All?

The Highest Truth Is To Delete, Not To Add. To Get Rid Of The Things You Believe In Now. So Empty Yourself Out Totally And Completely. All Of Your Ideas, Your Feelings, All Have To Be Emptied Out Of You. When You Become Totally And Completely Empty There Is Nothing You Have To Do To Fill It Up Again. Emptiness Is Realization. Emptiness Is Brahman. Emptiness Is The Self. Emptiness Is Your Real Nature.
