day 63 of 365

As promised yesterday, I will shake off the darkness from my photos and seek the light.... or how about some lightning? I saw this wonderful graphic sign on the side of a truck. Such a great depiction of the ability to harness the power of lightning, right in your bare hands. I would love to create a logo like this for librarians. Any artists out there?

I looked for some lightning quotes to go along with the image, and found these 3 to share.

Here's Mark Twain, likening lightning to the power of words:
"The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug."

Or Henri Cartier-Bresson, and the lightning-fast instant of capturing a photo:
"
The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box."

But I think I like George Carlin the best:
"
Electricity is really just organized lightning."
