Hippies

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 15:47:27 +0000

"To persevere as a photographer, you have to keep moving.

The Path to Buddha

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 15:39:20 +0000

"Interesting, isn't it, that we ascribe to Steve's contemplative behavior a Buddhist way, but indeed, he is not a practicing Buddhist. Having the mind of someone who is searching for something that he or she doesn't know yet: That's the mind of a beginner. The person who hasn't made up their mind is always willing to change their mind and always willing to allow new things to fill up their mind. That's a mark of his work, I think, and it's why we value it." Anthony Bannon

Removing thousands of impoverished residents who survive by living near the city center is considered a minor obstacle.
