The Magic of the Cities.

Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer

“I discovered very quickly that criticism is a form of optimism, and that when you are silent about the shortcomings of your society, you're very pessimistic about that society. And it's only when you speak truthfully about it that you show your faith in that society.”

“Descubrí muy pronto que la crítica es una forma de optimismo, ya que cuando estás silencioso sobre los defectos de la sociedad, eres muy pesimista acerca de esta sociedad. Y es sólo cuando hablas con la verdad, es que muestras tu fe en dicha sociedad.”

— Carlos Fuentes
