오늘 날씨가 꿀꿀했지요. 비가 내리는 날씨도 아니고 바람이 푸는 날씨도 아니고,

이유없이 화를 내는 사춘기 아들 모습 같은 그런 날씨였지요.

 

이런 매력없는 날씨엔 맨하탄 사진이 최고인것 같아요.

언제 어디서나 조건에 상관없이 꿈을 꾸게하는 맨하탄이니까요.

항상 부족한 내 사진이지만

사진이란  순전히 나 자신만의 세계속으로 빠져 들어 행복해 지는 그런 매력이 있는것 같습니다.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH/ FREEDOM OF WORSHIP/ FREEDOM OF WANT/  FREEDOM OF FEAR

 

루즈벨트 아일랜드에서 찍은 사진 몇장 보내드립니다.

표현의 자유, 신앙의 자유, 결핍으로부터의 자유, 공포로부터의 자유.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt

The Four Freedoms

"In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.

The first is freedom of speech and expression -- everywhere in the world.

The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way -- everywhere in the world.

The third is freedom from want, which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants -- everywhere in the world.

The fourth is freedom from fear, which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor -- anywhere in the world.

That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation."  January 6, 1941. State of the Union speech.
