A bit of wisdom.

[IpseLux]

As a student of philosophy and of art, I want to share something with you all, particularly the youth.
A great lesson in life is this: there are no, or at best very few perfections in life. Right?
But being is a perfection. Something cannot half be, and half not be. Something is. And in being it shares in that perfection.
I say this, because creating a work is that. More than half of it. And once created it is perfect in that it is.
I’m not speaking of being this or that, but in existing. Create. Make. It needs not be good, bad or great. It will be. And in that there is a perfection.
Knowing photography is not being a photographer.
Photography is an art.
Photograph.
Best of luck to you all.
Kind regards!

At some point I say "It's good enough" and frame it.

Some see that as an admission of failure to push it further.

I see it as a marker of lessons learned, of gains made, and of potentiality.
