Frank Hendriks Photography:
Nature is unsentimental. Death is built in.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
We live as we dream - alone.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Always watch where you are going. Otherwise, you may step on a piece of the forest that was left out by mistake.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Today, suddenly, I reached an absurd but unerring conclusion. In a moment of enlightenment, I realized that I'm nobody, absolutely nobody.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Nobody likes being alone that much. It just leads to disappointment.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
When you have nobody you can make a cup of tea for, when nobody needs you, that's when I think life is over.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
If a tree fell in the forest and you were the only one there to hear - if its fall to the ground didn’t make a sound, would you panic in fear that you didn’t exist, or would you bask in the bliss of your salvation?
Frank Hendriks Photography:
We all have forests on our minds. Forests unexplored, unending. Each one of us gets lost in the forest, every night, alone.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
If my decomposing carcass helps nourish the roots of a juniper tree or the wings of a vulture - that is immortality enough for me. And as much as anyone deserves.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Someday, without fail, everyone will disappear.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
If I were a tree, I would have no reason to love a human.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
There is a certain strength in being alone.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
The planet is fine. The people are fucked.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Wrinkles should merely indicate where the smiles have been.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Sometimes you have to be alone to think, and sometimes the best place for thinking isn't home.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
It is best as one grows older to strip oneself of possessions, to shed oneself downward like a tree, to be almost wholly earth before one dies.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Man is not, by nature, deserving of all that he wants. When we think that we are automatically entitled to something, that is when we start walking all over others to get it.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Life gets really simple once you cut out all the bull shit they teach you in school.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
For those who love solitude, a walk in the early afternoon is equivalent to a stroll by night, with the cheerfulness of nature added.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
A route of many roads leading from nowhere to nothing.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
I had only one desire: to leave, to walk, to die, whatever. I wanted to get away, never come back, disappear, melt away into the forest, the clouds, no longer have memories, forget, forget.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Some people walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
Where am I going? I don't quite know. What does it matter where people go? Down to the wood where the blue-bells grow. Anywhere, anywhere. I don't know.
Frank Hendriks Photography:
No one can make you 'better' emotionally, mentally, spiritually or physically. You have to find this for yourself. You have to taste that brutal moment when you're crying in a corner of the room, curled up on the floor and you think this is your end.
