Break free from this structured existence of our demanding intellect, that tries to get us to see through another’s eyes and not our own unique perspective, societies attempt to con us, to keep us herded in fear from our own truths, are own revelations of our perceptive intuition. We must never fear being ourselves. To hide under a facade, is living in fear of becoming our true nature, our true selves. 

We must fight the urge to conform without asking deeper questions. Why are my inner ideas, my inner dreams and insights never realized?  

The simple answer is economics and how our capitalistic world that sells products that narrows ones choices and hinders one abilities to express a new formula of expression, your unique vision of independent thoughts.

We live a copycat existence, our lives being reduced to living in a commercial rather than an independent journey through our own creative talents. 

We are not going to allow companies to exploit us for profit with the newest and greatest products when we have the ability in ourselves to create a new world view, free from the commercial life we now live. Where money speaks and human voices are incarcerated for speaking their minds under this new rule of the oligarchs.

Human beings are not chattel’s, they are not someone else’s inanimate property to be sold and bought like cattle.

We must always battle a society that demands us to follow rather than lead. This compulsion to follow someone else’s will and to conform to that will without seeking your own voice is fear of self revelations! Fear of hearing your own voice standing alone and facing the violent marauders of exploitation that are devastating humanity and Mother Earth. 

Being independent is our true character not a lap dog for the wealthy.  

There is no rational excuse for why politicians that have been voted into office by the people would then turn around and betray their trust by bending over backward to please the 1% so they can retrieve their bribes of silence just like a pet puppy with his bone. If I would attempt to define this behavior of evil I guess I would have to say they sold their souls to greed and avarice. 

These men and women of wealth and deceit with their criminal minds at work, not to make a better world but to make more profits off the hard work of innocent human beings just trying to survive on this planet that is being destroyed by the very ones taking more and more from all of us. 

Fright inhibits oneself from seeing the truth kept silent in your own mind full of cliches that are meaningless.  We must fight for our freedom and the freedom that comes first is our inner being introducing itself to us and us finally feeling the unification of selfhood. We are no longer depended on outside voices with their loud obnoxious words trying to tear down our freedoms through subtle laws and through their hypocritical voices of fear. The only thing we must fear are these voices spilling out putrid thoughts to excite their pawns, their yes men and yes women to strike hate against people only because they are different from us, who is us anyway? We the people, I will say it again we are all unique and we need to demand that all people are treated equally. 

We are all looking to be part of something bigger than ourselves and this is a good thing but we must never lose our unique voice and we mustn’t confuse something bigger than ourselves with any organization or any government that OK’s the perpetuation of violence against any person, place or thing.   

A society that demands our attention through violence and products of gluttony is not a society of truth. We must seek a natural force of immersion in the ourselves first that allows us to meet our interior being for the first time and then through our vision of expression create images that represent our nature and not someone else’s.

We all have a natural need to belong to something bigger than ourselves. And that can be a good thing if and only if all voices are heard and listened to with respect and a willingness to try new ideas for the benefit of all.

We are small creatures with large ego’s. And we exist to conform to the standards of our piers. Each generation starts out thinking they are independent but that is an illusion. We all get assimilated into the larger whole of societies need for control. 

We exist to accept the forces of nature that move us in a direction that our intellects determines will become our new role in the interaction with the herd and our placement in an integral intersection of regrets and backward thinking, placating the minds of those that couldn’t break free from the controlling influence of the herded mentality.

When you are creating images with purpose you are in complete control of your composition. Your perspective is unique and it is demanding a vision that will express your inner world. These created images sometimes are very simple to make. There is flow and movement of your mind that enters the scene and you quickly understand the landscape before you and in that knowing you instinctively move yourself to a point of interest that expresses the scene through your unique vision.  

Other times you come to a scene and you must stop and reflect with your inner intuition, knowing that something is present, that is visually silent but it is demanding you to work at your composition, seek your interpretation of the natural forces present but not yet visually found. 

To find a path that brings you to a place that first enhances your initial visual thought and unfolds the nature of the scene so you can enter it with a knowledge of your unique inner voice that is giving you a revelation of a landscape you could have missed if you were in a state of anxious departure.  

We all want to find the perfect expression of the scene before us. What has drawn us to this place in this moment under these lighting conditions? We could accept our initial perception, shoot the image and then move on to the next best thing or we can stand in the presence of nature’s beauty relaxed and breathing in the atmosphere of the landscape and creating a bond with the scene on a deeper level and just waiting and enjoying these moments of being present as the light explodes in a brilliance of possibilities.  

By having the patience to wait and not start blitzing the scene with frame after frame hoping for a lucky composition and exposure you will be immersed 

in the thick of a visual narrative, each one having the possibility to express your inner intuitive force, to feel

the subject beginning to be visualized as you contemplate the scene by going deeper into your inner self awareness, a communion of physical nature and your inner visual senses on high emotions of faith in your being present and the image becoming expressed from this intimate bonding you are experiencing. 

Freedom of choice is the mantra of an independent self becoming a perceptive visionary of their inner world becoming externalized. Your visual development your freedom, is to express your inner world through external details, your intellect will want to categorize and label your approach as a structured repetition of other’s thoughts and composition. That is not what a true artist does. A true artist expresses his inner world with his own truthful interpretation through the workings of his inner life. We may not fully grasp his intent but his unique perceptions are worth the trouble of studying. His unique vision expressed through image creation is a personal revelation of his uniqueness.  

We can’t express our true selves without looking deeper into the structured environment we are born into. The controlling forces of this world are moneyed interests that do not look for revelations of the spirit but a conformity of the spirit to work and slave for the few that keep a tight lid on the extravagant lifestyle that consumes them.  

Don’t narrow your visual experience to a set of images already known, explore and experiment with your perceptive nature and create a unique vision that only you can express.
