Quote DuJour

"...innocence of eye has a quality of its own. It means to see as a child sees, with freshness and acknowledgment of the wonder; it also means to see as an adult sees who has gone full circle and once again sees as a child - with freshness and an even deeper sense of wonder."

-Minor White

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not;

Education alone will not;
The world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

London 2012 Olympic Posters....Boring & Bland!

I must say the Olympics should be inspiring. The selection of posters for the 2012 London Olympics are just plain bad. No inspiration or creativity in these. The selection committee must have been a sleep when picking these or they just wanted to be politically correct and offend no one. You can view them here
