The Life & Death of a Kite
In Memory of Joe Kessler
The life of a kite is beautiful but tenuous. Great effort must be put towards its flight, even more should it thrive and soar. A kite needs ample care. You must give it wind. Continual tugs and pulls, caressing the line so that it catches a gust and doesn’t falter. You need to run; a kite needs energy. So run very fast! Run so fast that the kite becomes an extension of your body. So that you share the same heart. What you do on the ground matters very much in the air, especially for the life and death of a kite.∗
I absolutely love this series of photographs. It should be printed and framed!!
Celena Green, you are lovely and I thank you.
amazing pics ! What place is this?
These are the Bonneville Salt Flats in western Utah! The perfect place for kite flying.
Great pictures, great words. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful.
wow, beautiful shots and a poetic narration to go with it !
I’m just crazy for kites since I was 3 and recall all the escapades….used to fly fighter kites (India/Afghanistan/Pakistan) in central park in NY…the only one on milling weekends :) If you’re as crazy, should come to Ahmedabad/Gujarat/India on Jan. 14th to watch the spectacular “kite-sky” during Intl. Kite fest :)
I wouldn’t call that crazy! I’d call that epic. Thanks for the heads up, will definitely plan a trip in the area that overlaps with this kite festival! Sounds like a dream.
Nice pictures, I guess anything can be kite; everything would deteriorate without minimal care and some energy. Hmmmm.
Indeed, except wine after it’s been bottled. More things should be like wine.
gorgeous photos! i just found your blog and i am amazed by your beautiful writing!
gorgeous. i didn’t think i liked kites. i do now.
To be honest, I didn’t think about kites either! It was my friend’s initiative completely. And now I also like kites.
Wow! Amazing photos! I already love your blog :) Of course I’m subscribing.
