When making creative imagery do you use your instinct to find a subject of interest?  Or are you interested in the images you saw at a certain location in a magazine and if you could travel to those sites you wouldn't create images but take the standard replica that you had seen.  

Image creation is more than just blitzing a scene and feeling lucky when one image turns out ok.  

Coming upon a scene with potential promise of creating good images, one begins spreading seeds hoping that one of the seeds spawns an image of enough potential to make the shotgun approach work half heartily.

Spreading seed over a yard creates  a greenness that is uniform and similar to all the other lawns on your block.  Even though if you dig deeper into the lawn you will find that each stem of grass is unique in it's own way.  

The preconceived image is like creating a mirror image of what you are used to seeing in books and on your hand held devices.  In your mind you have seen a subject you want to copy.  With no imagination to change the scene to fit your unique perspective.

In order to create images with purpose come to your subject without preconceptions.  Of course the mind is alert to visual stimulus, the intellect loves to play it safe with routine numbers and motion replicated.  But the mind is alert and present and waiting to be told what to do.  Not by the conservative restraints from your childhood but an openness and a freedom of expression that is your personal internal landscape.  

Your personal accumulation of experience seen through the formula's of space, shapes, motion and duration excite the intuition to pause, to wait for that unique moment that creates an art piece that is truly your vision.

Through the method of using intuition, the focusing of perception not on the daily repetitive routines but your own inner vision, your own alertness to subjects that intrigue you and will challenge you to find in them your own reflections through the creation of photographs.

You will find places that inspire you, that call to you, that demand your attention to create images.  This environment is conducive to your inner being giving you inspiration to seek and look deeper into the place of origin and explore again and again its newness to your refreshing study in intuitive expressions.

Not to weaken and get caught up on the forward pressure of time to let go of your unique opportunity you are exploring.

You must have stamina to fight through the periphery nonsense and get to a point where you can create images without the constant chatter of fashion demanding you to exploit the scene with repetitious copies of a once unique subject that is not yours to begin with. 

The structured path is always moving us away from our intuitive being.  Shunning the unknown with the crippling conservative mentality of demanding conformity.  We retreat in the fear of defeat and we retreat from unique insights replaced by the droll necessity of demanding control of our senses, our perceptions of wonder and our unique place in this super hyper ego representations we are now being exploited by.


Overwhelming projections of thoughts to future events creates a glance at your purpose but limits your ability to focus on your inner core, your inner intuition.  Accepting the visually desensitizing you are experiencing through your influx of surrounding stimulus limits your ability to concentrate and open up your relationships with the world you need to create.

We seem to long for exquisite deceit, the purpose forgotten as one reverts back to their animal instincts.  Life drifting with subtle turns leading us close enough to feel the original perception to a path not chosen, a path that could create an awareness of external deceptions that limit and inhibit your unique personal perspective.

We should be always looking for the impossible subject.  One that is hidden to the casual eye but through intuitive concentration it is revealed to the eyes that are open to new ways of expressing the tired voice played over and over again..

You must be taken away mentally and physically by your chosen subject.  How do you know if this is the one subject your were looking for?  When time dissolves away and hours pass as if they were seconds.  Then you know you were connected, really connected to your inner perceptions.  Only then can you create an image worthy of your efforts.

Image taking now is nothing more than snap shots of memorabilia of life abandoned.  With no direct connection to the feel and touch of nature we have lost our ability to use intuitive force to connect with our external space.

Time's obsessive misrepresentation limits your ability to calm your nervous energy.  To relax and flow on your own current of creative spacial insights. 

Your energy is being wasted by becoming the power generated for someone else's reality that demands your life be lived in a line of traffic going to a place that is not yours, so you focus on escape from your inner creative nature and become exploitable to other's dirty work, forced to  focus with your structured intellect on exterior models of deception rather than rely on your own inner clock to pace yourself as you move toward your artistic goals.


The environment of complacency that you are living in now is because of structured memories planted in your brain for your early survival and are now expanding to encompass your entire life to perform not as an individual but as a complacent member of the herd. You must fight hard to break the bonds of the controlling force that must not stop you from expanding your horizon and your creative talent. 

It could, if you would expand your horizons and search for the creative energy that is waiting to be expressed through your visual sense.  But alas, you don't think you have visual control of your external perceptions and fall back on old standards of memory behaviors that limit your ability to break free from the wasteland of conformity that is growing exponentially as we accept as our future, our material addiction to more. 

What we think is important is not.  Turning your head away from growing awareness to dull repetitions that creates a stability of conformity that you think insulates you from outside threats that could interfere with your structure daily work.

Your intellect, which created and is depended on external structures, without a tethered physical replica to duplicate leaves an uncertainty of his/her creative direction.  We are so used to seeing images and words as truth that we have become complacent in our adventurous mind to break free and create a personal vision of our outer world.  And not a rehash of old tired slogans and images of a unified force of cloned consciousness.  

We must fight the interior struggle to revert back to the taking of meaningless snap shots that will never break the surface of cultural facades.  

We must disciple ourselves to look deeper into our reality, to explore our own individuality to break free from the shackles of repetitive motifs and expand your senses to their full capacity.
This will add to the instinctive direction your future could hold.

Our fears are always about approval.  We cry out in fear for approval. We need superlatives to guide our action toward the bait that is laid on your already determined path toward physical immersion.  This addiction to reality is a force that controls the very essence of your mind.  It lays out your future from your past.  Allowing only a minimal amount of freedom to explore your own relationship with your inner identity which is your creative force.

We externalize our emotions through motifs century old, these impressions become our means of creating art but we ignore the intuitive vision and retreat to the cold repetitions of our structured daily lives. 

The addiction to social media is to be seen and heard. It is only natural that the people would see that as a means to release their surface desires, to be on a small screen, as if they were creating art,  but it is an illusion, a betrayal of natural intimate expressions between family members and close friends but this intimacy has been betrayed by the ad-mans ability to surf your outer facade and steel your surface heart to spend money on something that is meaningless to your growth as an individual human being.  Humanity needs to dig deeper under the glitter of personality and find a means to express their true nature not one created by fashion and smooth talking hypocrites.     

We are seeing more and more our dependence on technology to make it easier to imitate art not as an illusive discovery of searching deep within your intuitive soul but as casual as picking up a cell phone and walla you are now an artist of the populace to follow.  

You are now able to put ads on your site and get freebies of products to wear to exploit the followers you have, that you have no personal contact with because they are only likes to you exploiting the very nature of arts expressive needs. Let the ads flow!

We are basically animals and we have a natural talent to follow the leader, the herd instinct is overwhelming common sense and our ability to understand where we are headed for in this ad based reality.  Whereby everything is sold and resold, everything is demanded by our intelligence trying to fit the growing conformity to the brains over stimulation that will eventually snap our structured intellect apart creating more dysfunctional behavior, unless we begin to delve deeper into our intuitive mind and abandon the growing obsessive desire to exploit the reality with trends of absurdity and only limits our ability to think for ourselves and demand accountability to the growing manipulation of our surface world. 

The deeper movement of social media is exploitation of the masses for profit. As human beings we evolved from the violent nature of being high on the eaten alive scale by developing a structured intellect that is visually active.  This ability to visualize advancing threats allowed us to become the dominant animal on the planet for the time being.  

Lets hope this ability can be retrained, used to avert the catastrophic road we are heading down as we are forcefully distracted from the end game which is domination of the corralled sheep by a few lords of stolen wealth.

Henry Bergson, "Our nervous, shifting vision tends to be highly selective, related more to identification and information than to aesthetic contemplation, study of mind, emotions in relation to the sense of beauty pertaining to involving or concerned with pure emotion and sensation as opposed to pure intellectuality."

Does it help to go into a scene uptight and nervous.  Or is it better to be relaxed and connected with your chosen subject.

Perceive the unusual as an outlet to become more intuitive which will enhance your visual landscape.

Image alterations by special software to enhance the facial characteristics is a natural progression of escapism in this new era of technological mastering of the human heart and soul.  As we move away from personal identity toward an exposure of self for the masses to be seen accomplishes our needs for ego gratification.  We are never satisfied, we never allow ourselves to just be without entertaining the facade of externality as a mask of not who we are but what we desire to escape from.

A broader illusion of self can be created through social media.  But these new expressions of self are not the truth but a posing of self, to tickle the fancy of viewers to like.  This ability to be seen now is an addiction beyond any cohesive society can bare. 

As we learn to project illusions of self outward we break the consistency of personality and become the many faces of Eve.  A wonderful biblical novel of split personalities.  

We are never satisfied with our daily lives and our own self- hood.  We must free ourselves from the shackles of our parents influence but not at the expense of losing your real personality, to become a natural wonder to be praised for your impressions and not scolded for your moral deceptions. 

Technology will use this copycat human trait to put out scraps of bait for billions of people seeking escape from their daily routines. Not only will you become further alienated from yourself but also as a species you will fail to have empathy for your brothers and sisters.  Why would you? There all clowns trying to get their 15 seconds of fame and fortune.

The real escape from daily routines is your inner will to listen to your intuitive self and focus your attention on execrating yourself from the tangled web of our demanding existence from exterior forces.

This steel grip of ego is becoming permanent in our lives.  Created facades of selfish manipulation by the haves to the have nots.  Diversion from the reality of intuitive thought has been created to keep the lowering of standards of the herded class from rebelling against the puppet masters.  This built in need for a physical presence of power is the god complex.  But now technology is our new god and our inner demons are coming forth.

We don't see the faces behind the screen but accept and assume that what we see is truth and what we hear is false. I have news for you that both are false witness to the structured existence we live in today.  In order to become an individual we must acknowledge the chains imposed on us by the intellect. Our thought process has been determined through out our lives and to break free we have to assume that external reality is deadness to insightful revelations of your individuality.

It is a false hope now to say a real self.  For we are being stripped of our inner being and turned inside out to perform for the enjoyment of greedy eyes by a technological prison of a mock reality.  This is seen on a daily basis as people ignore their surroundings and focus their addiction on a small screen bringing you a manipulated external reality of fake selves.

Anyone not in tune to the driving force of man's need to be seen in today's kaleidoscope of personality manipulation has been living in a mole tunnel.  We have always been intrigued and jealous of the movie stars, of the rich, now we can emulate them by creating a false mask, a new face to present to our so called hits of likes on our social status site.  This is not about truth but of counting the eyes posited in front of the screen for ad revenue.  

Beauty standards are nothing more than the obsessive addiction to integrate ads on social media and corporate sites into you're living thoughts as if those ads will accomplish for you what you couldn't do for yourself.

We are bombarded without mercy with a new vision of how we should be living our lives.  Forget your own personal voyage.  Your inner purpose is forgotten and now that purpose is greed and exterior praise for your sweet masked suited face.

After all our god sits above us judging us as inferior to his exclaimed truth but now our truth has been substituted with entertainment as the main journey one must take to get into the paradise of a gated community.

The big question for our future is this, "Do real people need to exist?"

Henri Bergson, "Our intelligence, finding only the old in the new, feels itself on familiar ground: it is at ease: it "understand." Such is the clarity we desire, are looking for, and for which we are always most grateful to whoever presents it to us." 

We must focus intuitively on our perceptions and not allow us to find the old subject in the new.  An old way of perception that is redundant yet soothing to the fearful mind. Let us push beyond the old stimulus, the old repetitious images copied extensively through a mind looking for quick answers to the big questions of why did I come here in the first place, what attracted me to this moment, this perception.

Bergson, " There is another kind that we submit to, and which, moreover, imposes itself only with time. It is the clarity of the radically new and absolutely simple idea, which catches as it were an intuition."

Our image making is now image taking.  Our greedy sight takes everything in a split second as the shutter is released and the ego is fed once again on trivia and embarrassing moments of his or someone else's life.  

In order to find the subject amongst the trillion of impressions vying for your senses to acknowledge, you must focus and concentrate through reflection on the intuition, that was the cause of your visual stimulus. 

Your true insights will slow the aggravation of times movement and allow you the breathing room to settle in on a relationship with the external perceptions that are being organized by an intuitive realization that is not afraid to pierce the distractions and wait for the revealing blossoming of your hidden subject.

You must create art without fear of mistakes.  Mistakes build a repertoire of subjects to be looked at as a trail that leads you away from being negative about perceived miscues and allows you to see them as useful insights to explore more fully. 

You might be surprised how those mistaken insights are representative of your inner perceptions.

Why speed time up? 

Allow time to purposefully move at the speed of your inner beings wiliness to explore the world, not with anxiety but with excitement at the still waters of focused concentration.

When we look out at the world without focus we see the obvious structures we think were made by the infallible god like men of greed.

We can get lost in permanent anger at the loss of our own stifled revelations of a deeper truth that can create an image through your own freedom of choice, a vision of your pure self externalized. 

We create patterns, repetitious actions that define us.  It is a way we use our consciousness to order the hectic pace of life and visual stimulation. These repeating patterns give meaning to worker ants trained in slavishly adhering to the needs of the rich.

Anger builds when we can't connect to our inner purpose our true self.  

It is time to stand on your own two feet and begin your own journey that leads you to your true vision of interest by choosing subjects that you intuitively feel represent a solid part of your inner being.  

April 10, 2018

The visual nightmare of excessive exposure, details overwhelm our visual sense, creating nervous energy and doubt and creating in us the obsession to compete with the trillions of pictures circulating through our visual consciousness that will eventually exhaust our visual integrity and hinder our own personal journey in finding our own unique image expression.

Intuitive thoughts are ones own intense effort to understand.  We will exceed our limited training in school by reaching for a visual interior representation that releases us from the bond of details that inhibit powerful feelings being demeaned by surface behavior of foolish faddish hedonism.

If we except the limiting instruction of words then we will miss perceived moments of revelation as non existent.  Words always fill gaps of intuitive perception, words destroy the natural impressions, their force of visual stimulus that in order to create works of art we must perceive in connecting our visual sense with the subject we are visualizing.

To focus our intuition on the external world will create for us a new way of seeing this external fraud and we will be able to create from our own inner revelation images that explain our inner desires our perception of a world ignored by limiting, controlling ideologies.  

Was it not my personal inner intuition allowing me space to write in, a flow that encompasses my intuitive beliefs.  

Now can I transmit this, these same words into images.  Can I express through imagery what I have just written?  Are the words and images so far apart that I can't even begin to express these words in image form.  

Does that mean I need to forget the dictatorship of words and rely instead on my internal visual intuition to create images that remove words entirely from the equation of knowing my visual purpose?

Our intelligence has not evolved to allow us to visually see the personal intent of the reality we create.  We must rely on words to demean the visual stimulus and we must denounce the limiting barrier words create when perceiving external subjects.  

This is the beastly art of persuasion.  Words hollow excess, controlling thoughts to sway one perception away from another.

Are your image creations desperate for approval?  Are we being opened up by corporate media to understand life only as a means of competition, exposing our internal nature for greedy eyes to exploit  and compete with for billions of dollars.  

We have entered the apocalyptic "Thunder Dome". Two enter the dome and only one leaves alive.  I believe we are in that dome and we are fighting for our inner inspirational lives.  

Nature needs to be seen, that is the reality of human nature. The human body is a visual necessity. Eyesight allowed mankind to compete with the other treacherous animals and react in ways that allowed it to eventually master the killing beasts.  But in these actions it changed from an instinct of survival to a controlling force of power over nature and mankind. 

Being seen objectifies our bodies to others and allows others to develop means of identifying the outside world of human contact.  

We can retreat into our caves and for a moment relax and bring in the minds reflective necessity to expose blunders made during social contact.

But now those privacy moments have burst forth as a means to be seen not by a family or a few friends but by thousands of people in a split second, reducing your life character to a minute video.  

This ability to be seen by many is the carrot media puts in front of those that demand physical attention.  

What is lost on the viewer is his wasting of time and his internal world stereotyped by a visual addiction to show physical activities repeated on a small screen.

All animals mimic each other and we as human animals do the same but on a scale beyond earthly comprehension.

The need to be seen is a result of humans isolated on this infinitely small speck of dust in a vast darkness that inhibits the beliefs of past cultures. We are becoming hedonistic land grabbers to fill the
coming existential void of self loathing by exposing our internal trust of our inner being just for likes on a meaningless screen oblivious to our actual inner talents.

We are becoming tools of words that limit our inspiration and limit our understanding of the need for privacy.

Until we have an inner intuition that chips away at the massive tower of babel we experience every millisecond now in our dumming down lives we will never experience our true identities and become the vision that is now suppressed in infinite doubt.

Bergson suggested, " time is what hinders everything from being given at once. "It must therefore, be elaboration. Would it not then be a vehicle of creation and of choice? Would not the existence of time prove that there is indetermination in things? Would not time be that indetermination itself?"

We use time to hurry past our lives.  We see the structure of our lives as worker ants to be fed sensory impulses that dictate our days of manual stimulation.  We pass each day not in our personal intuitive revelations but as a drone of someone else's will. 

Live, human beings do not shut out the wonder of personal expression. But don't be fooled by the corporate media's intent.  They have dollar signs written all over their greedy faces and love turning the intuitive innocence into a public spectacle.
