Wesley's Story

Wesley is from Atlanta, Georgia. Wesley's schools include Northside High School. Wesley later attended Kennesaw State University, Vanderbilt University. One of Wesley's favorite quotes is:""The artist is born complex and tries his whole life to simplify and the amateur is born simple and tries to complicate everything." --Lucien Clergue "The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. it is always on his doorstep." -Paul Strand "Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option..." unknown "The photographer's gaze changes reality. And reality is ordered by the fleeting nature of light, by the lens's bias, and by a perennial incoherence." Giuseppe Tornatore "The work I do is lovely and these other fellows have no idea! of what I see with certainty." --James McNeil Whistler "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do, than by the things you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the tradewinds in your sails. Explore. Dream." ---Mark Twain "I am what I am and that's all that I am:--Popeye "Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing." Camille Pissarro "When I hear the shutter click, I feel satisfied. It is like music from heaven." Fan Ho "A subject is never the same. You can photograph it a thousand times, and with each shot it will definitely be transformed into something else. And if the subject is the ineffable beauty of a woman, then the expressive possibilities become infinite. The prism goes crazy." --Guiseppe Tornatrore "Art is not what you see, but what you make others see." Edgar Degas "...I am positive there still is a Joker roaming around the world. He will make sure the world never rests. Whenever possible...Expand for more
--and wherever possible--a little fool will jump out wearing long donkey ears and jingling bells. He will look deep into our eyes and ask, 'Who are we? Where do we come from?'"--Joseph Gaarder "I digress, but I am from the South; I can't help it." Ferrol Sams in DOWNTOWN "Somewhere on a shoot I'm going to take pictures that I want to take that mean something to me." Matthew Rolston The Genius of the Crowd By Charles Bukowski There is enough treachery, hatred violence absurdity in the average Human being to supply any given army on any given day And the best at murder are those who preach against it And the best at hate are those who preach love And the best at war finally are those who preach peace Those who preach god, need god Those who preach peace do not have peace Those who preach peace do not have love Beware the preachers Beware the knowers Beware those who are always reading books Beware those who either detest poverty Or are proud of it Beware those quick to praise For they need praise in return Beware those who are quick to censor They are afraid of what they do not know Beware those who seek constant crowds for They are nothing alone Beware the average man the average woman Beware their love, their love is average Seeks average But there is a genius in their hatred There is enough genius in their hatred to kill you To kill anybody Not wanting solitude They will attempt to destroy anything That differs from their own Not being able to create art They will not understand art They will consider their failure as creators Only as a failure of the world Not being able to love fully They will believe your love incomplete And then they will hate you And their hatred will be perfect Like a shining diamond Like a knife Like a mountain Like a tiger Like hemlock Their finest art".
