What Time is it?

A Reading from the Tao Te Jing…
In the beginning there was The Tao - the great unknowable mystery.
The Tao gave rise to Yin & Yang. Yin & Yang gave rise to the Ten Thousand Things.
The Tao is like a well: used but never used up.
It is like the eternal universe: filled with infinite possibilities.
In dwelling,
- live close to the ground.
In thinking,
- keep to the simple.
In conflict,
- be fair and generous.
In governing,
- don't try to control.
In work,
- do what you enjoy.
In family life,
- be completely present.
In love,
- don't jump to quick conclusions...

Do you love good food, great pictures and Yummy recipes?? CLICK the pic!
These are beautiful, but they all seem a little washed out. Perhaps you could increase the blacks or the shadows in your editing program?
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica, I wonder if it is a screen issue? I edit the pics for print, and they come out fine in hard-copy, and the density looks great on my desktop CRT screen... but I have noticed sometimes on friend's laptops or on LCD screens that the images look paler than they do on my screen... images I've edited using a laptop while travelling have ended up being too dark in print... tricky issue to reconcile!
