Photographer’s Note
“There is an appointed time for everything and a time for every affair under the heavens:
A time to be born and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant
A time to kill and a time to heal;
A time to tear down and a time to build
A time to weep and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn and a time to dance
A time to scatter stones and a time to gather them;
A time to embrace and a time to be far from embraces.
A time to seek and a time to loose;
A time to keep and a time to cast away
A time to read and a time to sew;
A time to be silent and a time to speak
A time to love and a time to hate;
A time of war and a time for peace.”
- Ecclesiastic 4
A dear friend who had bestowed care and brotherhood as he share his passion for mountaineering, diving, running, photography and even travel writing…..is gone…..and it’s too soon. How ironic it is for someone who have had engaged into outdoor activities which involve serious risks of brushing with death suddenly slipped out of this life with acute pneumonia? Really, neither one can tell when it is time to depart nor when it is time to heal. The one thing that is certain in this journey of life is we will all pass by at this bend, prepared or not. So that when we make the turn, we would know that there is The Almighty God who could carry us through.
Thank you Jorge, may you rest in peace.
One year after this shot was taken, his time on earth expired.

A very beautiful shot though a sad moment per your write-up. I am torn on which is better your photo or your writing but I feel that what you wrote will not be as effective without your photo.
