“With just one polka dot, nothing can be achieved. In the universe, there is the sun, the moon, the earth, and hundreds of millions of stars. All of us live in the unfathomable mystery and infinitude of the universe.

But the still photograph continues to hold a sense of mystery and awe to me.” WayStillsKidsMillionsGrowing UpGrowingMysteryCamerasPhotographVideoAweDigitalSixtyDocumentsKids Growing UpDigital CamerasMp3 Author:Catherine Opie
“The creatures of the sea hold special mystery, and they are among the most exciting, graceful, and beautiful on Earth.
