The Hawks of January
The hawk, hanging
in the air;
You know he owns
it.
It is his lair,
his home; and no one elses, and he soars
Over it, forever
searching, hunting,
And exploring.
He is king of
the air.
The Monarch glides!

"To me,
photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something
interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to
do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you
see them."
----Elliott Erwitt

"You can find pictures anywhere. It's simply
a matter of noticing things and organizing them. You just have
to care about what's around you............."
---Elliott Erwitt
"The King of
the Air Soars.........................Do you hear his cry? Away
off there he skims the clouds in kingly radiance. There he is,
gliding along now through the blue!"

"To make enduring photographs,
one must see with one's mind's eyes, for the heart and the mind
are the true lens of the camera."

our eyes, but with our understandings and our hearts."

Hawks
I watch them soaring
high
From my earth-boundness.
Soaring ever so high, the
Couple skims the air to
Glide near to their flying
companion--
Perhaps a kiss in the air?
They are magnificent---
The rulers of the sky.

"Photographs are of course about their makers, and are to
be read for what they disclose in that regard no less than for
what they reveal of the world as their makers comprehend, invent,
and describe it."
----A. D. Coleman
