Love Is a Practice

Love is the capacity to take care, to protect, to nourish. If you are not capable of generating that kind of energy toward yourself - if you are not capable of taking care of yourself, of nourishing yourself, of protecting yourself - it is very difficult to take care of another person. In the Buddhist teaching, it's clear that to love oneself is the foundation of the love of other people. Love is a practice. Love is truly a practice.

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

My Photographs Published in the New TimeOut Book: Great Train Journeys of the World

I have received - fresh off the press -copy of the new TimeOut book called "Great Train Journeys of the World" from the London based editor Lynn Chambers today. In it, you will find two of my photographs taken during my trip last year from Paris to French Rivera. They are on pages 72 and 75. I would like say thanks to Lynn for the sending me my copy of this awesome book and for the interest in my travel photography. It is always exciting to see my work published.
