““Fearlessness may be a gift but perhaps more precious is the courage acquired through endeavour, courage that comes from cultivating the habit of refusing to let fear dictate one’s actions, courage that could be described as “grace under pressure” — grace which is renewed repeatedly in the face of harsh, unremitting pressure.””

- Daw Aung San Suu Kyi

Eve Arnold (Magnum)

Eve Arnold was a pioneering female photographer. When she joined Magnum Photo in the 50’s the industry was primarily run by men. She was a great female industry leader and role model for many young women. You can see some of her work HERE

“What drove me and kept me going over the decades?” Arnold wrote in her memoir. “If I had to use a single word, it would be ‘curiosity.’ ” via LA Times

“Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”

Time Zero has a concept that should appeal to all lovers of analog photography and those who appreciate people who do the impossible. I can’t wait to see it!

“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacriﬁce, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places — and there are so many — where people have behaved magniﬁcently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an inﬁnite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in deﬁance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.”

- Howard Zinn

““Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.””

- Steve Jobs

They are the life boats for the darker times, when the vastness of it all, the incomprehensible nature of life is completely illusive.
