“Things can change in an instant,
so why not live truthfully?”

~ Jason Collins
First NBA basketball player to come out of the closet
and openly admit he’s gay
Born on: 2nd December 1978

Porte Ponderings:

This photo is an example of how quickly things can change. For just a moment the rising sun shone through the clouds and illuminated the willow trees a golden hue. Storm clouds were in the background. Just in time for me to snap a picture with my new Nikon Z7II. There is a much steeper learning curve than I had anticipated, but set on auto and framing the picture just so I managed to capture this stunning moment. My sister just had time to say it should be a beautiful picture and the sun was hidden behind a cloud.

The only guarantee we have is that time will march on. You might as well be true to yourself and live in the present with your true self.

“I will always have enough money
to last the rest of my life…
as long as I don’t buy anything”

~ Ed Asner
Actor
Born on: 15th November 1929

Porte Ponderings:

Don’t spend.

Used vs New Nikon Z7II?

Used is $400 less, but you can’t buy insurance and there is no warranty.

I’ve never had a new camera.

It’s probably the last camera I will buy (haha).

OK I’ll buy the new. 😉

But I’ll wait until after the next Camera Canada Event: Landscape Photographer, November 25th.

Porte Photos’ Daily Quote: December 27th

Posted on by Porte Photos

I love quotations because it is a joy
to find thoughts one might have,
beautifully expressed with much authority
by someone recognized wiser than oneself.

~ Marlene Dietrich
American – Actress December 27, 1901 – May 6, 1992

Porte Ponderings:

Getting close to the end of 2023 we start to re-evaluate what we’ve done in the past year and develop our New Year’s Resolution.

I do like working on and publishing Porte Photos’ Daily Quote. All of the photographs/paintings are mine and credit is given to the appropriate wise person. I usually base the Daily Quote on a famous person’s birthday, but sometimes I’ll wander and use a quote that is more seasonal or thought provoking.

So part of my New Year’s Resolution will be to continue this daily exercise. 😉

I’ve always hoped that this collection of my art would help people find me as a form of advertising to see the type of photos and quality of my work.
