Art Photography, Motion Design, Content Creation
We are always moving, from place to place, from moment to moment, forever on a journey to somewhere. Some move fast, others slow and some believe that they are not moving at all, but they are. All things move. Even what we see as still, stationary, dead, that is also moving. Yes, even my cup of coffee near my mac is whizzing at 107,000 km/h around the sun as I type this. Motion, another mystery to dive into…
very thoughtful view.
Thank you for your encouragement!
fascinating !
Thank you Emma
Beautiful blog 🙂
Cheers!
nice.
to greener pastures 🙂
This is absolutely beautiful. I’ve never checked out the freshly pressed blogs before, but glad I did. Off to have a look around the rest of your site!
Motion for its not just a mystery, its believing as well, for we are moving but we don’t know where we are headed, but we like to believe our destination is a better. Great quote as well as picture, made me realize that we are always moving and we are not even taking the time to admire out surroundings, Thanks you!!!
Check out my blog you might find it interesting http://www.thoughtsunleashed.com
change is the only constant thing, thanks!! awesome 🙂
Great picture!
I really love the accent of the moving guy with the bicycle and the tone. It feels like staring at an old photo. Beautiful!
Simple but deep and meaningful.
What’s amazing here is not only the picture but how the author quoted it. Very nice!
Awesome Post. The image you have is very inspiring and I would love to have this on canvas in my “inspiration room”. I love what you have written as there is great truth in the world is forever moving especially how to depict “Some move fast, others slow and some believe that they are not moving at all, but they are. All things move.” – Classic!
Congrats on freshly pressed. Thank you for sharing! 😉

nice shot..
Great pic and text!
Thanks!
Thank you for your comment!
Great photo, with a thought-provoking comment. What you said about your coffee, initially I thought, “No, it isn’t.” And then I thought, “Oh yeah, it is..” Wow.
I’ve written two blog posts on songs exploring the idea of direction or no direction, which you’re welcome to read if interested. The first looks at Fyfe Dangerfield’s Any Direction (http://calminthechaotic.wordpress.com/2011/08/22/theres-nothing-new-under-the-sun-but-what-about-above-it/) and the second looks at Absynthe Minded’s There Is Nothing (http://calminthechaotic.wordpress.com/2011/08/22/theres-nothing-new-under-the-sun-but-what-about-above-it/).
I love your writings. Great stuff. I just subscribed and will look forward to following
Very nice post and very true. We are in constant motion whether we chose to or not.
Oh my gosh! I just noticed you were on Freshly Pressed! CONGRATULATIONS and totally well deserved. Glad I found your blog!
Thank you so much E.He! I appreciate your comments 🙂
Amazing movement in thought.
But is it really moving?
The movement of void and silence.
a mystery isn’t it? Thanks for your comment Raj!
inspiring reflection there! thank you, and move on 🙂
moving on 🙂 Thanks hadi
I was having a conversation with a colleague photographer today (I’m a videomaker) about the different kinds of movements available in video — either camera movement or object/subject movement — and how movement enables the story-builder the time to build story. It’s hard to teach about story with still images, but we were talking about movement and potential movements in photography, and how they can create story, too. Story and movement and time are so intertwined in these image-centric mediums. We had a good twenty-minute conversation about movement in video/photography. I think I’ll send him this blog entry to read.
Great work. I love looking at great work. Thanks.

Thanks for your comment!
Beautiful photograph.
Thank you! Your comment is appreciated!
Yes,
everything in the universe is sound moving in different frequencies, the higher the vibration the hotter the substance.
imagine that, we are all made up of sound 🙂

Thanks for your comment Ron! Sound! Yes!
Thats really great nice photography with a meaningful explanation. Great JOB!!!
Thank you Jai!
Yes, moving but not really like when you are in a car wash and stationary yet you swear you are moving. Terrific picture.
yes, or on the plane on the runway or in traffic on the highway, right? Thanks for stopping by 🙂
beautiful photo! love it. congrats on fp’ed btw
Thank you very much for stopping by!
Sometimes I don’t feel like I’m moving at all, but if your cup of coffee does, then maybe I am too.
Nice Shot!!!
yes, you must be 🙂
Love the caption, and the picture
Thank you for that!
Nice shot! I like how you focused on the fence and then had the man in the background! Nice! Also your words leave a little mystery in your mind, thinking about how you can go so fast but be so slow.
Thanks for this great post!

Nice shot!!
I’m not always moving, but everything else is. So watching it all makes me feel as if I am moving.
Like sitting in a train, being stationery, the train next to you moves, and you’re sure it’s YOUR train that’s on the move.
Ronnie
Yes, I know what you mean Ronnie with the trains. I get a sense of imbalance for a brief moment each time that happens. I also feel it on the plane in the runway before take off. Thanks for dropping by!
Your blog is very elegant and I really like this post, it deserves to be freshly pressed.
Coincidentally, I wrote an article about constant movement recently, in the form of impermanence and change and how we can come to accept it:

Keep blogging!
Thanks Luna, I look forward to checking out your article later today. Thanks for your nice comment!

First off, photo is amazing. Second, I would love to muse over motion. Thinking about it gets me into big picture stuff. Like how motion is not always one thing moving from point A to point B. Electrons move spontaneously without a trace of what direction they came from. Get your brain to tap into a different kind of thinking. Try to wrap it around the big picture. Feels good.
So true, and it’s interesting that we don’t even feel the sensation of moving as we orbit the sun.
Yes, it is one of the strangest mysteries of life, isn’t it? Thanks for commenting 🙂
Thanks for reading Andy!
What a beautiful photograph, thank you for sharing!
and thank you for taking the time to visit!
love the action! i have a hard time capturing images like that. i’m sure my very amateur status has something to do with it 🙂
A beautiful photo. Elegant and mysterious.
Great motion capture
Love what you’re doing, KEEP GOING
Simple yet lovely!
Beautiful shot and thoughts! Thanks 🙂
Perpetual motion, well not quite but all atoms are flying around in all material, so that’s pretty close. Nice pic, thanks
Very well stated and great complimentary photo.

We’re always moving, just like our thoughts…Beautiful photo 🙂
This is really unique
Very nice!
Cool pic! Love the use of contrast. Congrats on getting ‘pressed’!
Love the motion in this and the detail of the still. Very cool and unique :)!
Ah yes, I follow you to the letter. I study metaphysics and I get what you’re saying. Great shot. Perfect!
Beautiful sentiment and image — it’s eerie and almost a bit haunting, but totally cool!
🙂
Nice contrast between the moving bike and the still gate. Beautiful photo. It looks great in monotone.
Dream-like and haunted.
Amazing pic . Love it.
Thank you so much!
Fantastic shot! I’m so intimidated to join or commit to any group doing a photo a day…but perhaps this will inspire me to do at least once a week. Fabulous other blog too & will check back. Best wishes
Stunning!!!!
I love this post! Do check out my blog sometime 🙂 I am freshly pressed
I will check it soon! Thanks for your comment 🙂
After being away, I realize how unique, yet common to Shanghai, is the iron fencing along the streets…love it…and miss it.
Yes, I really like the different motifs they have on the street fences!
Wonderful capture.
Thank you Robin!
Doesn’t that thought just wear you out. Let me be still. Let me rest but no, we keep spinning! c
Our hearts are restless till they rest in Thee. Augustine.
