You don’t need to leave your room.
Remain sitting at your table and listen.
Don’t even listen, simply wait….
The world will freely offer itself to you …
It will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
 
No. 109, “The Zürau Aphorisms”
Franz Kafka

[With my print “Canaries” at the opening reception of the 35th Annual Juried Membership Exhibition, Houston Center for Photography, July 14, 2017. In my artist’s talk, I quoted the above lines from Franz Kafka to emphasize that photographers can often find wonderful subjects within arm’s reach, as I did with sticky notes.
