"There’s a certain aesthetic attached to the oldest cities in the world: bustling souks beneath a bright blue sky, flowing garments made of whispery white cotton, stone masonry painted yellow by the sun."

We will consume Tomorrow Is My Turn by Nina Simone

lyrics:

Though some may reach for the stars, others will end behind bars
What the future has in store, no one ever knows before
Yet we would all like the right to find the key to success
That elusive ray of light that will lead to happiness

Tomorrow is my turn, no more doubts no more fears
Tomorrow is my turn, when my luck is returnin'
All these years, I've been learnin' to save fingers from burnin'
Tomorrow is my turn, no more doubts no more fears
Tomorrow is my turn to receive without givin'
Make life worth livin', now it's my life I'm livin'
And my only concern for tomorrow is my turn

Now the summer is gone, there's another to come
You can't stop years drifting by, even if you want to try
Though time may help you forget all that has happened before
But honey it's too late to regret, what is gone will be no more

Tomorrow is my turn, no more doubts no more fears
Tomorrow is my turn, when my luck is returnin'
All these years, I've been learnin' to save fingers from burnin'
Tomorrow is my turn to receive without givin'
To make life worth livin', now it's my life I'm livin'
And my only concern for tomorrow is my turn
Tomorrow is my turn

There is an immensely satisfying quality about looking at beautiful handwriting. Although we often use the computer to write messages, the art of calligraphy is still appreciated. Brilliant penmanship...

There are tears which pierce through the earth
and rise as stars in other skies.
I wonder who has wept our stars?

''For this world we live in
None of us is sly enough.
Never do we notice
All is lie and bluff.
Caesar beat the Gauls.
Was there not even a cook in his army?
Do not treat me in this fashion. Don't leave me out. Have I not
Always spoken the truth in my books? And now
You treat me like a liar! I order you:
Burn me!
Those who lead the country into the abyss
Call ruling too difficult
For ordinary men.
Ah, what an age it is
When to speak of trees is almost a crime
For it is a kind of silence about injustice!''
b. Brecht

All is not what it seems in the work of these four American photographers, who draw on sculpture and painting before hitting click on their cameras
