“Every time a significant discovery is being made one sets in motion a tremendous activity in laboratories and industrial enterprises throughout the world.”

There are almost unlimited possibilities for making discoveries and to uncover the unknown. It is in the nature of the discovery that it can not be planned or programmed.

The other ants follow the path immediately in order to benefit from the finding and continue to do so as long as the supply is rich.

On the contrary it consists of surprises and appears many times in the most unexpected places.

The basis of the discovery is imagination, careful reasoning and experimentation where the use of knowledge created by those who came before is an important component.

It is like the ant who suddenly finds food and walks back to the anthill while sending out material called food attracting substance.

Somewhere in my head, a private conviction exists that ‘Search is the Process’ and ‘Discovery the Art Form.

The search which takes place in my studio might best be described as a mining operation, a vertical dig in which a number of discoveries are apt to surface from a single shaft.

It is essential for me to become involved in another search, and ‘search’ is the proper word to use because it promises discovery along with the risk.

This is because the spirit has no place; it is placeless; and for the spirit the earth and the heaven are as one since it makes discoveries in both

No harm will happen to the bounty of the sun, which is everlasting. This spirit has the power of discovery; it encompasses all things.

Even through the limitless space of the heavens – surround all that exists, and make discoveries in the exalted spheres and infinite distances. .

The process of my transformation came to a head with my discovery of St. Francis of Assisi during a pilgrimage I went on with a scout troop from my school.

I was given a small camera as a wedding gift from a very dear friend. My first pictures were taken on my honeymoon. As soon as I became familiar with the camera, I was intrigued with the possibilities of expression it offered. It was like a discovery for me.
