David,

You don't believe that money and love should come too easily. You're accustomed to working hard
for what you have and now your efforts will be rewarded. As Venus and Mercury move through your
own sign, you'll notice that it is easier to get along with others. In fact, it's even easier to get along
with yourself. This is the key to the month ahead. Enjoy others as they enjoy you.

In 2003 Jonas received the Infinity Award from The International Centre of Photography (ICP) in New

the 2001 World Press Photo Masterclass, and a 2004 fellowship in photography from New York
Foundation for the Arts. His work has been exhibited at the Tom Blau Gallery in London and in the
"Moving Walls" exhibition at the Open Society Institute in New York. His magazine clients include
GEO, Newsweek, Vanity Fair, The Sunday Times Magazine and Mother Jones. He lives in New York
with his wife Laara and son Milo.

David,
Today's New Moon is yours! It's in your own sign, Capricorn, and if you have the courage to leave
the past behind you, now is the beginning of a whole new cycle. Try to accept what you are feeling
-- even if it isn't consistent with your old plans. But don't think that you need to just drop whatever
you've been doing in favor of the new. You'll need to find that magical balance between the
opposite forces now pushing and pulling on your life.

For today's younger generation of photographers there is much less of a sense that simply
reporting on an injustice is sufficient, and there is a much more complex sense as to what is or is
not possible to explain. Right now, "if your pictures aren't good enough" you may be too close
rather than not close enough, as Capa put it long ago. In today's "information age" if the reader can
be enjoined to enter the quest for meaning then one has succeeded. With all of Magnum's prickly
personalities, with all the difficulties inherent in attempting to see differently, it is a wonder for
many that the agency has managed to survive fifty years. Very few cooperatives are noted for their
longevity. Magnum, in its idiosyncrasy, its inability to stand still, has been a remarkable exception.
As Cartier-Bresson put it in one of his blistering memos to the other photographers, "Vive la
revolution permanente...."

Fasting is easier when we ask God the day before for this grace, since to fast well is a grace we
should not take for granted. As we ask our Father for our daily bread, let us humbly ask Him also
for the gift of fasting on bread and water. To fast with the heart increases the power of our fast
against evil, divisions and wars.

Then there isno need to fear the Destroyer for, as St Paul tells us: "If God is for us, who will be against
us ?!"
If its happening TO you, its happening FOR you.
Hidy Ho Jesus! Mr. Hanky

equal to our tasks, to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the
door of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal. - Helen Keller

Nothing Succeeds like success., except God.
A man who is self reliant, positive, and optimistic, and undertakes his work with the
The assurance of success, magnetizes his condition and releases power to attain his goal.
Treat a man as he is, and hell remain as he is. Treat a man as he can be and should be, and he will

The wildly beautiful irrationality of poetry refutes you, ye utilitarians.!

Thinking is done is with the stopwatch as dining with eyes fixed on the financial newspaper
we live as men who are continually afraid of letting opportunities slip. Better to do anything
that nothingThis principle is also a noose with which all higher taste is may be strangled.
The real virtue nowadays is to do something in a shorter time than another person. If there is
still enjoyment in society and art is the enjoyment that overworked slaves provide for
themselves. Nietchze

The pity of it is that so few of us are privilidged to live with our paintings. Either they have
to be shelved in a closet or giivne away. One is lucky if now and then he can sell one for a
song. Think what it would mean to be able to review the work of a lifetime at will!
And if it be asked: Did thou enjoy thy stay on earth? I shall reply: My life was one long rosy
crucifixion. As to the meaning of thisif I fail then am I but a dog in the manger. Once I
thought that I had been wouned as no man ever had. Because I felt thus I vowd to write this
book. But long before I began the book the wound had healed. Since I had sworn to fulfill my
task I reopned the wound. Let me put it another wayPerhaps in opening the wound, my own
wound, I closed other wounds, other peoples wounds. Something dies, something blossoms.
To suffer in ignorance is horrible. To suffer deliberately, in order to understand the nature of
suffering and abolish it forever, is quite another mantter. The Buddto ha had one fixed thought
in mind all his life, as we know. It was to eliminate human suffering. Suffering IS unnecessary.
But one has to suffer before he is able to realize that this is so. It is only then, moreover, that
the true significance of human suffering bgcomes clear. At the last desparate moment-when
one can suffer no more something happens which is in the nature of a miracle.
The great
open wound which was draining the blood of life closes up, the organism blossoms like a
roseOne is free at lastwith a yearning for ever more freedom, ever more bliss. The tree of
life is kept alive not by tears but the knowledge that freedom is real and everlasting. H.
Miller.
