Steve Martin, "Art is created on the way to doing something else."



The existential experience becoming a physical artifact. We all experience the absurd nature of life and its impact on actions and reactions that seem dreamlike. Yet by responding, we enter existence and move through duration hoping for answers. We create our lives, our existence, in the beginning we are empty shells. We all try and cope with the feelings of existence and ultimately the feeling of purpose. Without purpose you become lost in the world of cheap facades. Purpose directs your consciousness to become.  

No photographer needed. Your individual life no longer separate from the masses of content flooding social media, all seeking curious eyes to highlight their trivial thoughts. Images are lessened by the multitude of exposures that create a tidal wave of nonsense and undermines images of purpose.

Your life events will be documented for you by a remote controlled camera that has been placed in a strategic location that will be able to capture the moments without understanding the nuances of the scene or take the time to immerse itself in the celebration but will coldly and oppressively snap pics without depth or understanding. 

Your house, your life will become a necessary technique to further alienate yourself from the real world and its necessary immersion. 

These images will be objects of another life not your own. The camera used is another step toward automating our lives which in turn decrease our ability to empathize and dig deeper into our existence and future visions.

The ultimate goal is to have us on another plateau unable to think for ourselves and to demand answers to complex problems. We begin to accept the inevitable demise of impulse,intuition and depth of character.  We are becoming ads for our exterior lives and shunning the complexity of inner consciousness and awareness. 

Without a free mind to make choices of what subject to create an image of we limit our ability to identify and explore the exterior reality around us.  We lose the connection with external forces that deepen our resolve to find answers.  We limit our ability to connect to thoughts foreign to our conditioned minds.  We lessen our chances of experiencing a real immersion into the world we are exploring.


Image creation is an art. Without involvement, a true mental focus, your choices when creating images have been abandoned. 


We have created a world whereby we all assume we are the image taken and therefore free to just be ourselves.  But is that what really happens or will you once again walk closer to the edge of giving your life over to a mechanical structure that is and has been ruling our consciousness for decades.


Without individual choice we lower our status on the biological scale.  We demean the centuries of experience accumulated to discover deeper and deeper purposes for our existence.  Once our choice is limited we lose the freedom of expression and empathy toward the human race.


The structure of our minds is directly affected by our instinctive drive for security. Even today with all the technology we still fear the intruder, the others, that mean to harm our limited safety, our small plans for our future.  

The inability to stand on our own two feet, alone, free of the seduction of our personal freedom to a common thought which is quietly being instilled in everyone is a disgusting measure of the control seeking of iron minded greedy minds. 


To live your internal life free of barriers and to involve yourself in the unique visions you witness is the freedom we all must seek. This seeking is a positive force but also a scary feeling of separation from the masses.  Individuality is frightening but necessary to become your vision.


The biggest falsehood now is the consumer mentality being directed by illusions, that to not buy is a slap in the face of your ego. You must buy in order to feel important and alive.  The brain demands order and in the face of anxious memories and commercialized visions it will seek a radical conquest of its independence.


The free falling life of independent thoughts accuse words of determining our future and put a strangle hold on freedom of creativity, your vision.


We are insulated from the world that surrounds us and begs us to see the natural beauty beyond the metal forces of illogical concepts of power.


Solitude is a witness to your inner world, a means to experience the infinite duration in us with intuitive visions of your potential subjects to create purposeful imagery.  That ability to look at the subject with interest begins your journey in creating images that reveal your inner landscape. You can listen to others or listen to your inner unique voice.


The words, thoughts, images found are spoken only to you, you must explore them with intuition and forceful
determination to block out the voices of jealous conformity.
