Easter at Home

These kids love their time at home. They live in a classic Black & White house in Singapore, and it was Easter when I spent the afternoon with them! The parents wanted me to capture their family just as they are daily, living and loving in their favorite place.

These photos were taken during a short 30 minute session! I immediately fell in love with this Asian antique-looking rocking horse, which Scarlett happily clambered onto. Apparently it was found in their neighbor’s trash! What a treasure.

This week I taught my class of young photography students how to shoot at night! We played with shutter speed and sparklers! I was their model, and this is my favorite shot. Photo by Miss Yogita Shanmugharaj.

Words to Live By

THE RULES FOR BEING HUMAN (HANDED DOWN FROM ANCIENT SANSKRIT)

You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.

You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time, informal school called life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.

There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error, experimentation. The “failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately “works”.

A lesson is repeated until it is learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. Then you can go on to the next lesson.

Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

“There” is no better than “here”. When your “there” has become a “here”, you will simply obtain another “there” that again, looks better than “here”.

Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.

What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need; what you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

The answers lie inside you. The answers to life’s questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.
