Course to Take

Creative power
Reality encounter
Essential movement

Some activities are pursued solely for their inherent associated exhilaration.

“And so I repeat once again that movement in our mental life can only take place when an appropriate goal has been chosen.” – Alfred Adler

Silver Sea

Elegant lifestyle
Inclusive cruising
Explore destinations

Very good to both observe and flyover, the ocean shimmers gray.

“The sea was our main entertainment. When company came, we set them before it on rugs, with thermoses and sandwiches and colored umbrellas, as if the water – blue, green, gray, navy or silver as it might be – were enough to watch.” – Sylvia Plath

Duration Dialectic

Nature art
Science equally
Vision Refinement

Each in their own way, pelicans celebrate by flying together over the dune.

“There is no real ending. It’s just the place where you stop the story.” – Frank Herbert

Developing Appreciation

Deeper impulse
Flow through
No agenda

Until I decided to create a new image series featuring shore birds, I never paid much attention to pelicans.

“Whatever you appreciate in your reality will keep “appreciating” (growing) in your reality because whatever you give attention/focus to gets attracted into your experience.” – Sen

Aggregate Sensation

Extensity nature
Intervals filled-up
Immediate localization

Deepening the perceptual understanding of awareness, autonomous cognitive processes attempt to make sense of acquired information by simplifying complex descriptions. Transforming disparate information into pure representations, variations on a theme make an image series worthwhile.

“For all that education can do is to associate with the actual affective sensation the idea of a certain potential perception of sight and touch, so that a definite affection may evoke the image of a visual or tactile impression, equally definite.” – Henri Bergson

Wreck Flyover

Ship remains
Portside glimpse
Vessel destiny

Pelicans in formation cruise over the sandy shore, surveying and adapting to prevailing conditions. The danger on the shoals is surely past.

“You see yourself as a shipwreck, but we see your treasure glowing inside, beneath the oceans in your eyes.” – Curtis Tyrone Jones

Efficiency

Vitality ratio
Intended function
Performance competency

Pelicans often cooperate in their airborne travels. During flight, as they follow the winds either to the north or south along the shore, group wing unfolding generates a vortex saving significant amounts of energy expended.

“Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.” – Leonardo da Vinci

Functional Morphology

Animals do
What they do
With intention

Sometimes pelicans in formation zip along near the water surface and sometimes they fly much higher.

“As one comes to better understand animals in their natural habitats, it may become apparent that everything they do has a purpose.” – Bob Thomas

Comes to Pass

Storm clouds
Skillful pilots
Ride the waves

Spreading from the east, the northern horizon darkens as the wind picks up. The atmosphere fills with energy and anticipation.

“There are some things you can only learn in a storm.” – Joel Osteen

Sense of Motion

At a given instant
Momentary positions
Greater panorama

With grace pelicans glide across the horizon within an immense universal backdrop. Things only become visible when they either exhibit contrast or undergo change.

“We ought to regard the present state of the universe as the effect of its antecedent state and as the cause of the state that is to follow.” – Pierre Simon de Laplace
