Don’t just learn, experience

Don’t just learn, experience.
Don’t just read, absorb.
Don’t just change, transform.
Don’t just relate, advocate.
Don’t just promise, prove.
Don’t just criticize, encourage.
Don’t just think, ponder.
Don’t just take, give.
Don’t just see, feel.
Don’t just dream, do.
Don’t just hear, listen.
Don’t just talk, act.
Don’t just tell, show.
Don’t just exist, live.”

I’ve worked out a series of nos

I’ve worked out of a series of nos.
No to exquisite light, no to apparent compositions,
no to the seduction of poses or narrative.
And all these nos force me to the “yes.”
I have a white background. I have the person
I’m interested in, and the thing that happens between us.
