Rose

Exquisite! I would like to see just a little more room at the edges, not much, but more.

Bellissimo, Molto beni, stupendi!

 

sharp, tight, & very right.

 

Regards

LOU VERRUTO

Save me a chair on the beach Lou - we'll all be joining you in due time .......... Love you brother.

 

Tex,

adios amigo... I've lost a good friend.. rest in peace.

Goodbye, Lou.

I'm hoping the site admins and Lou's family will leave this image up as a tribute to him - a dear friend .... A place where we can come - and remember - thanks

Lou spoke to me in a dream last night. He said to lighten up - he is ok. He has a margurita glass which never runs dry, all the shrimp he can eat and a little mint on his pillow everynight. He has a digital Hasselblad with one knob on it numbered 1 thru 7 .... he can dial in whatever rating he wants the shot to be. Of course, Lou broke it trying to dial in an 8 ........... but that is just Lou - never satisfied - always striving for higher things. From his vantage point, he can follow the sunset around the world - snapping away . He is happy ... wants us to be happy too . He would prefer a party in his honor - vs. the usual thing.

Great parting shot, Lou.

So, Ken does this mean I am safe from Lou coming back as my dog? that remark of his has a strange sting to it now.

 

Knicki

Wow - I forgot about that Knicki - interesting. I was also looking at his comment strings - his last one was to me - on May 4th - exactly 1 month before ....... I didn't realize that till just awhile ago .

A lovely rose... from one who's work taught us that we should not only look at the world, but strive to really see it.

 

Peace to you Lou.

...always the light...

 

You said that Lou and I always loved that about your work, your love of light. You have influenced me in that aspect of my work greatly. I see it, feel it. Thank you.

 

I sense you now living always in that light.

The Rose is outstanding. looks like an engraving work. Ken W. I didn't know the man, but your words in the dream are a true nice farewell to a friend.

Oh thank you ladies for stopping by - I know Lou would like that ...... (-;

 

Have a look at Lou's site Pnina - most of these images were posted on PN at one time ...

Beauty is eternal, and we are here to capture it...and thus live it. Now and forever.

Pnina - what a special person you are to take the time to stop by and pay your respects to a man you did not know. This is at least the 2nd time I know of that you have extended you hand and your heart to a stranger - how special you are.

Oh thank you for stopping by Linda ....

My Friend ...

This time was Lou. A man of generous soul giving a piece of it to every simple thing he liked. "That's all I can do", he used to say, "only some simple pictures, nothing more". And these simple pictures are living now their own life, each one carrying a sparkle of his soul. You'll be always around, Lou, in a rose, or a Siamese cat, or a glass of red wine; in the beauty of the simple things God and His children created and you gave them soul. May you rest in peace, Lou.

... and no PS

He is still great and in heaven ! Hasta pronto, dear Lou!

I'm still with you buddy ...

why do I keep coming back to this image?

missed you buddy...

I do too Nejat - I do too ....

 

Miss you Lou ...... save us a seat by the window.
