On Arturo Toscanini’s eightieth birthday, someone asked his son, Walter, what his father ranked as his most important achievement. The son replied: “For him there can be no such thing. Whatever he happens to be doing at the moment is the biggest thing in his life – whether it is conducting a symphony or peeling an orange.” Ardis Whitman
Lors du quatre-vingtième anniversaire d’Arturo Toscanini, quelqu’un a demandé à son fils, Walter, ce que son père trouvait être son oeuvre la plus importante. Le fils a répondu: “Pour lui, il ne peut y avoir rien de tel. Quoi qu’il fasse à chaque moment précis est la chose la plus importante dans sa vie – qu’il s’agisse de la réalisation d’une symphonie ou d’éplucher une orange “Ardis Whitman.
Simplicity is best!
It really is!
Love the quote!

Yum!
what a wonderful sentiment! I love it.
Gosh, I can smell them through the screen! Delicious.
I don’t usually care for oranges, but this one was super sweet:)
Love your dedication
Yay Fae!
I love the story about Arturo! What a wonderful way to view life!
Isn’t it?!
Great philosophy, beautiful photo!
I left the laptop in the back. It ruins the shot:( But I didn’t have the heart to murder another orange today:)
Not at all! L’arrière plan est suffisamment flou et ajouter une note de couleur intéressante.
Inspiring- I think I want a new camera…
Treat yourself girl!
Especially if it’s a blood orange.
I love blood oranges. I need to find some just for the fun of taking pictures of them:)
I don’t think that I’ve ever seen such a beautiful picture of an orange!
Thanks Mitzie. This 50mm lens I got for Christmas is scary good! I have no merit whatsoever:)
