We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
William Shakespeare
For several years now, I am thinking about a website about music and art that has some kind of religious meaning. Not a specific religion, but a religious way of looking at reality. Every time I think about it I stumble at the first hurdle: describing the website to myself, finding words to express what the website is about, finding a name or title for the website. I alway end up with these words by Shakespeare, from The Tempest.

Art (or music) that is like 'stuff as dreams are made on', relating to thoughts about our existence and to our questions about existence, without trying to find any answers. Just wanting to be close to these thoughts and questions. Pockets of silence, as Rothko once called his paintings.

Photo Blog
For all of you who want to build a personal photo blog: I am using WordPress at the moment, in combination with the plugin YAPB (Yet Another Photo Blog). I find it very useful, and easy to work with.
Some links....

Folders
Maybe it has been there for a long time, but I recently discovered the dA feature of creating folders in my own gallery. I like it a lot....

I am trying a new image gallery system for my website: Coppermine.
Anybody else out there who is using it?
Curious what you think.

Vacation
From May 15 till 25 I will be in Turkey for a vacation. I hope to shoot a lot of pictures. Many of them will be posted here, no doubt.
See you all in a week or two.
Take care

I think that I can identify with your desire to do this. Some of my photos have a strong spiritual side (at least to me!) and I have seen the same sort of emotion in your photos as well.
good luck with the development of this concept and the associated website development. Keep us posted on how you go.
