  • Life is not meaningful...unle ss it is serving an end beyond itself; unless it is of value to someone else.

  • As our values are the core to who we are as human beings, they are also the easiest way to identify and connect with others in meaningful ways.

Is talking an art ? Is even painting an art ? It is artfulness that makes art, not the medium itself. Of course photography is an art - when it is in the hands of artists."
