"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Take time.

Zuzu is developing an artist's sense. She notices the bumps in a pumpkin's skin and appreciates how they make the carved face look even more like that of an old man's. The photographs she takes are always close-ups ... petals of flowers, eyes of a face, an earring. She is aware of the small parts that make a whole.

Nobody sees a flower - really - it is so small it takes time - we haven't time - and to see takes time.
- Georgia O'Keeffe
