Ah, yes. Zen. The power of patience perhaps.

My entry, the concept, but alas not the image, swiped from an on-line Zen Master Photographer, is scoring, how shall I say this quietly:

One more before I go home ...

Words cannot express things;
Speech does not convey the spirit.
Swayed by words, one is lost;
Blocked by phrases, one is bewildered.

Apparently such a misalignment of the planets has angered the Heavenly Houdini as I am currently scoring my 4th lowest score ever. That'll learn me to make an effort!


You're in! Yeah!!!!

I look at the entries.
I ask myself what is the nature of voting?
The sandwich I brought for lunch is tuna.

There are so many good entries in this one; I feel sad for not getting one of my own.

Its not close yet, tuesday I didn't start my photo shooting until 45 minutes before submission time. :)
Today I was much better, I got my entry in a half hour ago.

I just photographed mine and got it in in time. I'm cutting it pretty close! I haven't been entering much lately and I'm not expecting much out of this.. but I miss the update button. Although it's my action shot that I'm REALLY excited about..

So an ancient once said, "Accept the anxieties and
difficulties of this life". Don't expect your
practice to be clear of obstacles. Without
hindrances the mind that seeks enlightenment may
be burnt out. So an ancient once said, "Attain
deliverance in disturbances".

I'm in. I have a feeling it will do very well if considered zen, and bomb if not. I had a better zen-like picture but it was too boring.

The foolish reject what they see,
Not what they think;
The wise reject what they think,
Not what they see.
Observe things as they are
And don’t pay attention to other people.

Why don't I care? Because I'm at one with my entry.

Is it a good entry? No.

Then why enter it? Enter is as enter does.

Move along, grasshopper ... move along.


Move along, dancing banana . . . move along

All of my archery experience so far has been at a near-bankrupt summer camp in the back woods of PA so if traditional is a nice word for low quality equipment where even arrow rests are a commodity, then yes. :) I've shot both recurve and compound and prefer the latter but I have no experience with quality equipment or accessories. I do have a pretty nifty recurve in my garage from my grandfather's hunting days but it's waiting on me to buy a restringer before the neighbors need to take cover.

Just out of curiosity, do you use sights and a trigger release, or are you a bit more traditional?


She tells the arrow where to go and it goes there. She's mk.
