Life is short, break the rules, forgive
quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off
the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

But how many of us are willing to choose the discomfort of being a beginner over the ease of being a expert? If we want to continue to develop and push the boundaries of our artistic practice as we age, we need to remain playful, and re-train our egos to be comfortable with “beginner’s mind.”

:eek:

round and round and round we go, where we stop nobody .....

[slidey]

Life is indeed short...this post couldn't have come at a more striking time. Minutes ago I came across the worst news about a team-mate from a few years back who I've only ever heard of, and well it sure does put things in perspective.

Oh and please lets not run this post to the ground.

I think that's a subset of Kiss Slowly.

Hope you are well Butch.

This statement captures for me the true essence of the overused, trite phrase "life begins at 40".

Doisneau's father, a plumber, died in active service in World War I when Robert was about four. His mother died when he was seven. He then was raised by an unloving aunt.[1][3]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Doisneau

At thirteen he enrolled at the École Estienne, a craft school from which he graduated in 1929 with diplomas in engraving and lithography. There he had his first contact with the arts, taking classes in figure drawing and still life.

When he was 16 he took up amateur photography, but was reportedly so shy that he started by photographing cobble-stones before progressing to children and then adults.

Photography in the 1930s

In 1931 he left both the studio and advertising, taking a job as an assistant with the modernist photographer André Vigneau.[3][4][5]

In 1932 he sold his first photographic story to Excelsior magazine.[1]

In 1934 he began working as an industrial advertising photographer for the Renault car factory at Boulogne-Billancourt.[3] Working at Renault increased Doisneau’s interest in working with photography and people. In 1991 he admitted that the years at the Renault car factory marked “the beginning of his career as a photographer and the end of his youth.” Five years later, in 1939, he was fired because he constantly was late. :D He was forced to try freelance advertising, engraving, and postcard photography to earn his living. At that time the French postcard industry was the largest in Europe, postcards served as greetings cards as well as vacation souvenirs.[6]

In 1939 he was hired by Charles Rado of the Rapho photographic agency and travelled throughout France in search of picture stories. This is where he took his first professional street photographs.
War service and resistance

Doisneau worked at Rapho until the outbreak of World War II, whereupon he was drafted into the French army as both a soldier and photographer. He was in the army until 1940 and from then until the end of the war in 1945 used his draughtsmanship, lettering artistry, and engraving skills to forge passports and identification papers for the French Resistance.

Some of Doisneau's most memorable photographs were taken after the war. He returned to freelance photography and sold photographs to Life and other international magazines. He briefly joined the Alliance Photo Agency but rejoined the Rapho agency in 1946 and remained with them throughout his working life, despite receiving an invitation from Henri Cartier-Bresson to join Magnum Photos.[1][6]

His photographs never ridiculed the subjects; thus he refused to photograph women whose heads had been shaved as punishment for sleeping with Germans.[3]

I don't photograph life as it is, but life as I would like it to be. – Robert Doisneau

[metalheart]

Short ... ummm that is a concept. Life is what it is today and tomorrow you may get hit by a car, drink a great bottle of wine or have another life changing event. Life is what it is today and as much as I want it to be a great bottle of wine or a 20mph average ride, I just don't know what it will be. Life today is what it is and life tomorrow is unknown ... short ... how long is short?

[flydhest]

Life is the longest thing you'll ever do. So do it well.

And super sweet with an all tailwind ride!
