A poet’s freedom lies precisely in the impossibility of worldly success. It is the freedom of one who knows he will never be anything but a failure in the world’s estimation, and may do as he pleases. The poet is a man on the sidelines of life, sidelined for life.

If your thinking is confined to strobe light sources, your palette becomes very mean - which is the reason I photograph only in available light.
