Good Morning! 

Today is the birthday of Ansel Adams (1902 – 1984) who said:

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”

and

“You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”

and

“To the complaint, 'There are no people in these photographs,' I respond, There are always two people: the photographer and the viewer.”

and

“A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.”

It is also the birthday of Robert Altman (1925 – 2006) who said:

“Maybe there's a chance to get back to grown-up films. Anything that uses humor and dramatic values to deal with human emotions and gets down to what people are to people.”

Happy Birthday to Richard Matheson (1926 – 2013) who said:

“That which you believe becomes your world.”

and
“I think we're yearning for something beyond the every day. And I will tell you I don't believe in the supernatural, I believe in the supernormal. To me there is nothing that goes against nature. If it seems incomprehensible, it's only because we haven't been able to understand it yet.” 


 

Today is also the birthday of Ian Brown (1963 - ) of the Stone Roses who said:

“I'd rather be no one

Than someone with no one”

Birthday greetings to Kurt Cobain (1967 – 1994) who said:

“I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.”

and

“Wanting to be someone else is a waste of who you are.”

and

“There's good in all of us and I think I simply love people too much, so much that it makes me feel too sad.”

Finally, it is the birthday of Chris Thile (1981 - ) who said:

“When you're performing as a group in a band, there is just so much more pressure to perform well. If you fail then everybody else fails too. As opposed to being a solo act, if you mess up then it's only you that sucked.”“When you're performing as a group in a band, there is just so much more pressure to perform well.
