What kind of life will you have if you distrust the reality you live in, created before you were born and has a long history of intellectual folly especially for the inherent many that must make a living for the oppressing gentry folk.

You are born with inherent characteristics that will either increase your chance for success or limit your ability to adapt to the structured living arrangements that have been in place since the first stick was used to kill its competition.

Of course your inherent personality must fight through the oppressive personalities of your parents that will force feed you the same slop they received when they were innocent beings with potential.

Most people trust the reality that surrounds them, they play the game of success even though most of the success is personal changes to adapt to the controlling force of a cemented structure of symbols that instill in us all a means to be herded into a pasture of conformity.

All this pretense of freedoms waving flag is nothing but hypocrisy. It is based on the incompetence of relationships. Or fears of relationships.  Technology makes it easier to limit your contact with a live person making it easier to subdue your natural instinct to be part of the group.  Now the group is nothing more than an illusion of community.  It is a false facade of pretending to be a friend of others when all you are really interested in is the ads you can sell on your popular website.  We have reverted back to being teenagers in high school looking to be the most popular person in your class. And receiving for your manipulative abilities you can decide for others what they should think, feel and hate.  What a world we live in.

Human nature doesn’t want to share. It wants to keep everything it sees for itself period.  Our laws are not their  to control the wild instincts of savages, (those savages don’t have to work, they own the structure that dictates to the masses their common roles they must play or be fined and imprisoned for their independent efforts) but to control the actions of every citizen in this glorious country of more greed, more pleasure more controlling laws that block any chance of the poor and working class moving up into a happier existence.

We now see on the social media sites the good trolls that roam freely under the guise of independent thinkers but in actuality are only hired messenger service lip sync repeaters with the puppet masters making their small tongues wag and wag with no intuitive depth beyond their Pinocchio noses. There behavior is shaming truth in order to maintain the semblance of order on a planet ready to explode.  

Don’t you feel the tidal wave approaching. The wind beginning to speed up the inevitable destruction of independent thoughts.  Intuitions that once claimed some kind of sanity by trying to limit the ruling class accumulating the precious resources that were never theirs to begin with but for all of us to respect and protect because our very lives depended on the natural evolution of man and nature working together and respecting the future generations ability to survive.

Are we at a stage in our visual development that we believe the trillions of images created depicting the beauty of this planet is the whole truth and nothing but the truth and therefore we shouldn't question the powers that be because see these beautiful videos and images are real and climate change is an exaggeration. 

I believe people are beginning to see visual artifacts as reality.

Memory is a cohesive movement of our time line that allows us continuity of being and builds a path to future artistic exploration and intuitive vision. 

Conscious stability for future ventures and exploration of interests each builds a memory step toward a unification of desired results enhancing your chances for success in a physical world view. 

Missed directions take place at the conscious level. Stability in perceptions and in action lessens your chances to create unique personal images from your inner landscape.  When the intellect takes over your visual senses you are hindered with the cultural perceptions of normal.  In other words no one wants to stand out from the crowd.  By doing so you draw attention to yourself and for most people this is to much anxiety for even a moment of fame. 

But what is going on in today's faced paste addiction to being seen.  If we are afraid to stand out then why in today's technological mess do we feel it is OK.  Because you are not seen as you are but as you present yourself.  You are hiding behind an image facade that allows you to delude the attention being driven your way.

Image creation, not image snap shooting, but real image creation is an interior process, an interior battle to find the moment of understanding your subject and connecting on a deep personal level with the scene to create and image that expresses that moment of truth when the shutter is released. Did I create the visual synthesis that I intended?

It is easier to create images that have no personal relationship with your inner intuitive consciousness. They are physical facts that we shoot because they are there. We tend to go through life this way by the demands put upon us by our training growing up with societies rules of behavior.  It is easier to have everyone under the same control than to have individuality become the norm of human beings living in their own unique presence. The herd is alive and well and demands your performance of repetitive behavior. 

Everyone has the right and duty to themselves and to others to live a life that is aware, intuitive and caring for all of nature. After all we are only an intellect away from being put out to pasture. I think the new big bully in our home town will be Mother Nature. 

Image creation intent is to see under the tightly controlled facade of movers and shakers that control the external fabric of our lives but will never control the inner substance of our artistic persona. 

We use many tools to dig deeper into the facade of the wealthy and what we find is a shallow understanding of the intuitive beauty of nature.  All they seem to care about is their bottom line, not love for all and justice for all but capital whereby they can control of the masses.

Intuitive image creation tries to penetrate the facade of

accumulation by seeking a true connection with the external world by opening new avenues of exploration enhancing the perceptions of the people to see beyond their physical nature.

Words can be inspiring, illusive, annoying, controlling, demeaning, happy, sad, but words mainly are deceptive. They are the pathway to symbols that can control and distort your perceptions of your reality. When someone tries to define for us a way of seeing it can lead to a narrowing of our gifted perceptions. And it can limit your vision forcing you to see through categories of your intellect. The intellect is your safety valve always pointing you in the direction of what is the standard reaction to external stimulus. Another words the intellect can be boring and repetitious.

Words want to control the conversation between you and your subject. To sell you a rhetorical confused goal of copycat motives, for it is better to be just like everyone else than to stand out from the crowd. Domineering words can confuse your purpose and not allow you to experiment with different cloaks of personality and artistic talent until you find your own individual fit.

We all must find our own vision to our unique inner and outer landscape.

Time is anxious and wants to be somewhere at every moment. You become a pawn of schedules and forget your most important goal you learn as a kid. You must invent yourself and see the world with new eyes and not the eyes of a person that did everything they were supposed to do and forgot to live their own life. 

The worship of time limits your ability to open inward to your internal abilities and then seek outward image creation that is unique to you alone, not a copycat motif that the multitude deems appropriate.

A motif that is built upon your individuality and your unique perspective that gives a viewer of your visual art an anticipation of revelation, of a new way of seeing the staleness of the existing external reality.

When you feel the force of aesthetic freedom you are liberated from the small minds of conformity always pecking at your weaknesses. You are released from the burden of a structured, repetitive and burdening existence.

In order to begin immersing yourself in your talents you must slow down the hyper drive of flashing moments you encounter each and every day that stifles your inner being and bends your consciousness toward acts of nauseous familiarity. You must focus your inner talents on your mural of insight and bring forth the visual elements of your intuitive creation.

Time must recede into the flow of calm waters if you are to explore your subject and connect with your external vision in a unified moment of seeing, a duration of time that can lead to revelation.

Understanding visual elements are only a starting point, your intuitive consciousness can and does see deeper into your presented subject. You need to open up your intuitive gifts and look for an inner connection to your visual preparation as you seek the truth in the elements of gifted purpose.

In this age of extreme anxiety there is little progress in our human nature to regain the intuitive insights of seeing beyond labels that dictate our behavior and response. The structure of reality as it exists today is one of control. The control of our intellect to absorb the given information without looking deeper into the structured reality that imprisons our unique natures and our unique visions. 

We live in angry despair because we are not free individuals who can explore our own inner yearnings for originality but are force fed from the time we are born to the time we die, to follow the herd and not step out of the coordinated path that this structured reality has put in front of us. We are like worker ants distracted by the powerful need to be part of something other than ourselves.

Our communication skills are losing even more cohesion. Our thought processes are dimming being replaced by voices telling us what we want to hear and not our own voice digging under the metal restraints we live in, imprisoned with an ego that is bred to react instead of act. Our intellect observes this reality and it reacts with repetitive foresight on how we should respond to the external stimulus which is impeding our learned nature and thus we must act in accordance with the standard reply in circumstances like this.  If not then we are opening up ourselves for actions not deemed useful in keeping with the status qou. And that is the problem. That is in essence the herd mentality doing the same thing over and over again and not breaking free from the restraints we are shackled with throughout our lives.

What if we stopped today and tried new approaches to the everyday stimulus we encounter.  What if we looked deeper into the structured reality with our intuitive nature and created a new visual art form. Instead of living a reaction to stimulus we encounter the subject with a new perspective a new reaction to the details we failed to see because our mental vision was being narrowed by past experiences and our intellect believed that is how we wanted to react to the subject even though we have aged and seek more than the trite response to old artifacts.

Originality is the new navigational tool in our arsenal of deeper meanings.

Why see as other see? There vision is limited to the words taken as truth that corrupt our freedom to be ourselves. 

Our photographic eye takes a back seat to the mad haphazard rush of life we lead.  Each moment it seems we have something else we are dealing with and we don't spend the time seeing beyond the cliche, digging deeper into our intuitive consciousness to explore and create our unique vision. This is not a lack of character on your part. This is a deliberate forcing of our consciousness to look upon the world only at the surface level. The majority of humanity is so busy just trying to make a living they haven't the time to explore their unique perceptions of their own reality. Instead they are forced to live in a created reality of turmoil.

Life is lived when you grasp your own unique talent and use that innate talent to express your inner aesthetic.  What do you find worth creating?  It doesn't have to be image creation. Take a thought you have had in the back of your intuitive consciousness and explore this in depth not as an unruly rebellious concept but as your own unique vision of artistic expression.

Our intellect adapts to the life stimulus you are surrounded by and then becomes highly selective with choices it gives you in your mad hatter work days. In order to feel and be present with your subject you can't be distracted by the turmoil that surrounds your daily life. You need to step back and have time to explore your own personal visions, your own vision of visual art, your own sense of beauty.  

Don't take the easy way out of creating your artistic vision. Taking shortcuts doesn't allow you time to become your true artistic revelations.

There are images that you take that must be taken.  Not the quick cliche snap shots that we all succumb to and have to take because we feel that nothing is real unless on film. This mentality of the run and gun approach to taking images separates us from mother nature and even though it makes us feel we are interacting with something outside ourselves in actuality we are using the camera as a barrier not to explore nature's subjects. 

The demands of our controlled structured reality dictates to us our daily routines. We fear going beyond the surface of our daily lives and explore the gifts of the natural world where we will be able to build a relationship with and a growing understanding. 

Humans are the one creature that wants to control the whole planet for their own simplified understanding of profit over compassion. The intellect of humanity has been conditioned to own and not share. 

We are creatures of habit and we solidify memories as real stepping stones to future actions.  Even though these memories are only markers we needed to open up our future path, our own journey to self realization.

We must open up and participate in the event not as an observer but as a intuitive mind trying to access the deeper battle present in this external subject which is denying us access to his composition. 

We must connect with our subject in real time not under the cloud of verbiage that destroys your true relationship with the external world.

Image creation is not real, it is a feeling, a connection an intuition in your mind with an external subject that isn't real. It isn't real because you haven't created it yet. All you have is your exploring 

consciousness. 

You see the signs all around, take the picture here and be satisfied with the easy snap shot.  But that is not what drew you to this place.  Something called you to take this path here and now and as you stand and take in the magnificence of your surroundings into yourself you begin to explore intuitively the vision present in you.

Can you bring forth that vision and connect to your outer nature that is present?

Not an ego looking for gratification in the ordinary routine of stale compositions but a sense that something is present in the landscape before you but it hasn't yet been composed. 

Knowing can be a limiting force, so you let go of the tyranny of words and intellect and just be present in stillness of your growing awareness.

Your mind needs to settle in and realize that the creative perception is not ready to be made yet. Time is nothing in these states of the inner power of spiritual force. Your attraction to the subject is only the first step in realizing your intimacy deepening as you let go of the need to accomplish everything in seconds, when you might need hours to feel the true creative force expanding your experience of insightfulness.

There is nothing in front of you but details that need composing. Light that needs to be studied and your inner clock must stop its demand to move on and you must relax and take part in the beauty of the details that will begin to form a subject that wasn't present but is now because you were able to releases your inner tension, your inner demands and wait for your vision to begin making the scene.

We always want instant gratification in capturing fleeting moments of times endless pursuit of confusing mental demands. 

Stop and listen to the intuitive part of your brain, not the intellectual brain that is not satisfied with random acts but needs organized study and demands that all t's be crossed and i's be dotted.

Don't allow forgetful details that were working themselves up to the surface of your inner landscape evaporate suddenly because you were once again distracted by the structure of the controlling reality you were trying to break free from, to find some deeper connection with the subject at hand.

You can try and ignore your deeper intuitions of color combinations and accumulation of compositions never tried but if you are purposeful and strong in your ability to see new ways of seeing this world you will be able to work through the layers of stale dominating copycat structured ideas that have not come close to seeing the subject in its full array of beauty.

Never settle for the quick memory postcard because you didn't take the time to explore and deepen their photographic eye.  

The image needs a sensitive mind not a roaming eye, a photographer that feels the connection and wants a permanent relationship with the scene. Natures will always open up to someone actually trying to dig deeper, get to the roots of the scene and not relying on someones previous image seen in a magazine destroy the uniqueness of your vision and your connection with nature's beauty.

Common Sense

Do you take photos just to have a document of your family and places you travel to? Or is it done with ego's need to report back to your family and friends, see where I have been! If so then you are in the trap of the surface need to be seen and not listened to.  

We absolutely have a need to document our lives. We need those pictures of our history, of our family's history in order to feel times ruinous momentum. We are trapped in time and space and our past, present and future are part of our families intimate existence.  These images usually end up in a album that are looked at when families get together. We see a physical replication of our past in these surface reflections, our own family heritage and this continuity strengthens our will to move forward in our own timeline. These images are artifacts of our family's past, present and future destiny whether good or bad. But these images do not delve deep into your conscious mind. 

We trust these image because they are family and in the family we share our deepest thoughts. If we don't share then we break apart and lose our continuity of purpose. 

To live in today's world of Social Media and Corporate News we see the break down of families inner unity. We see family life disintegrating, being separated from each other by the herded need to exploit ourselves for likes, that lead to followers, that lead to more hits and thus more ads to buy the products that reinforce our shallow human goal to promote and glamorize our lives as special to all eyes that demand our personality of fraud. 

Family is trusted with our most intimate details. These life events are not broadcast on social media just to get a few more selfish greedy eyes to look and like. If you think that posting everything and anything makes you more important then you are truly addicted to the non-reality of a poser's life. You don't understand the undercurrents of the business mind that lives and exploits everything you share and know. These distractions of social media play a game of hide and seek. An endless losing of your own dreams that disperse and flutter and puff they are gone because you have been distracted from living your life, by having your life exploited by the powers that be.

Common sense should tell people that to live a life is to breath it, to feel it, see it and to be it. It is not posts on any site for likes and ego power. It is to explore your own uniqueness and your creativity to produce a body of art that is you. This art is not to be exploited by media but to be given and shared by you for your fellow human beings. Not a post of delusions to distract you from your goals and placate the fearful intellect that believes that this surface reality is their existence.

David Hume, "Beauty in things exist in the mind which contemplates them."

In a fresh present tense existence we see with open eyes not through past experiences and mental images of the ad men created solely to direct us to comply with the growing outside forces of conformity.

Memory distracts us from connecting anew each of our moments in times hurrying present. We try and grasp anything that can distract us from the fury of deaths opening door. 

We are on stimulus overload with a constant bombardment of visual temptations that stimulate the minds passion to be something different that what we are and were meant to be. Each life is a gift that must be discovered not in fashions fluttering escapes but a life you discover through being present in your moments. Being ready to identify with and allow this outer presence to become your aesthetic present.

We don't want to be free of the the structured needs instilled in us since birth. In order to create images with purpose you must brake the controlling addiction of conformity.  

Calm your mind. Listen to the subtle expression of your subjects knowing. When you perceive a subject there will be mind tricks to distract you from your intuition.  Your will to contemplate the scene in front of you must be focused and determined.  

Distractions will appear, time limits will try and hurry your progress away from your inner expression.  You must fight the need to move on and be taken once again on the walkway of the consumer mentality. Looking for something you saw in a previous mood and a wanting now to duplicate that with the scene before you.  Let go of the need to structure your perception by accepting the easy snap shot of submission, open up and let your inner landscape flow outward to show you the composition that reflects your inner truth.

This mentality to look at the external world not in its natural form but through the eyes of a consumer looking for what can please him/her not in a deep meaningful way but on a surface need, a need of glamour imitation an addiction to the surface reflections of a shallow mind.

We seek truths that unable us to sojourn on in our own purposeful will in silent contemplation of the moments still calm.

We can not let memory define our future.  We will not allow the drifting past to take us from the path we have intuitively taken to explore our inner self, through image creation that can allow us moments of our intense love of the ever shifting present.  

Break away from the demands of the known illusions of constant turmoil and conforming madness that make you cling to the past moments of glory or sorrow as if they were still present in your growing futility to become what you are not. Look upon each day as an adventure to see through the bright lights of mimicry into a different world of connection with the vision you will create.

What is in front of you is never the best perspective in creating an image of your inner landscape. The scene demanding your attention is not the subject of your trigger happy fingers. What is there is for your intuitive longing, a merging with the landscape and not attacking it objectively without empathy and a soulful connection.

Explore your subject from different angles.  All subjects have a facade that needs to be studied and broken down to begin the reflective inner exploration of yourself that is beginning to be invested in your chosen subject. A subject worth exploring is your intuitive mind ojectified in nature.  Nature is not a play ground to be exploited but a living presence that needs to be enlightened with your emotional connection.

The front view is for show and sometimes it is the best we can do.  A lazy instance of not willing to push yourself further.  But you must dig deeper under the surface gleam and explore the deeper reality waiting too be revealed.

We all carry eye filters we peer through when we are exploring and looking for our connection to subjects that are hard to define. We use words that interpret the scene but that only describes the surface not the interior of the subject before you.

Nature is inspiring and we must not rush through our outer landscape by being distracted by the glitter of ego's obsession with himself and time. Time nullifies our ability to focus keeping us off balance and running around with our heads in a vice of activities that will not break through to your personal fulfillment. Break free from the position of exclusion and spread your wings to become a visionary presence in your own skin.

Do not allow ego to interfere with your visual intuitions.  Yes it is important to study the subject not for its gorification and your desire for success.  Success will come with energy spent studying the subject and exploring the many manifestations present before you.

All world cultures are being dummdified with facts of meaningless behaviors, mindless prodding to shop, shop until you drop mentalities, untruths about what is really going wrong worldwide, while the powerful wealth owns the airwaves and our exterior being. The media machine is in full gear and we accept the beginning ending as we slowly move into repression until all that is left is people doing godless work. 

The influence of elite wealth creates in us a disturbing memory of the controlling force of oppression seen and felt in our very bones as our ancestors struggled against the almighty greed of accumulating obscene wealth at the expense of human lives. 

We are becoming an untruth, an experiment of deception in the guise of fulfillment in surface glamour. Living in lies of untruth we fear the inevitable decisions to create our own world.  And what this creation will entail.  In truth it is just you becoming aware of your inner intuition and focusing on your perceptions as a means to explore your inner being and in doing so become aware of your inner talents waiting to be expressed.  

When you create imagery from your intuitive mind you are in tune with the volatile universe that is not stationary but in constant flux. 

In order to change your outer facade to exemplify your inner core you will need courage and the ability to accept the constant creating of each moment as it passes. 

Time is nothing but objects in space. An external depth that creates motion and repetition, then our adaptive intellect needing stability calculates these movements that are in constant flux.  

Our individuality shouldn't depend on a structure of words and visual perceptions that limit our ability to see and function in our own time.  

Living in a life of untruth with fear of losing your self image created by controlling forces that corral you in words of domineering tyranny shaping you with consistent repetitious demands of conformity thus creating the illegitimate being of your true selfhood. 

The next product, the next fad becomes us and for a month, two months and we are a created persona of falsified glamour, limiting our ability to expand beyond the high glitter of a false-hearted facade. 

If we enter a new sleeve of personality every time our ego wishes to be something other than we truly are (to hide from the inevitable truth) we are destroying our unique existence and limiting our inner core the freedom to become itself.  

We can't become our true nature by allowing external forces to limit our unconscious desire to see reality through our own eyes.

Are we becoming videos/still images in our own lives?  Not a person of substance standing alone, standing strong for his uniqueness but a show of ego wanting people to see him/her in copycat repetition of millions of surfing likes.

A constant addiction to digitizing our moments and not living them freely, enjoying each moment in our unique awareness is the curse of modern technology. To live a life in distraction away from meaningful interaction is the new god of realities impoverished deceptions which is easily manipulated for profit. 

The only reality is your own perception not a fluff game of diverting imagery of crime and terror. These images are becoming a falsity of distorted proportions taking our unique self and moving them into the fear based spectacle of illusions.

We are substituting our lives with a copy. Why not experience your reality first hand, why substituted with an image or video?

Instead of experiencing moments with empathy in life's constant transformations we instead objectify our lives in digital form.  And this techno life is not real but a buttress to becoming a unique self.  

We mistake this technology as a mediator for us to control our lives.  A means to grasp hold of a solid reality that will never change.  But this is an illusion, this technology fraud is not about freedom but about control and as this control gains more power it will control our mind and soul.

This life is not about controlling fear.  It is about loss of freedom.  We have substituted freedom with repetitious, imaginary desires  ignoring life's constant transitions.  Or I should say life's personal revelations.  

We don't grasp the the significant barriers being installed that will limit our freedoms and our unique perspectives. Corporate fear of individuality must be corralled so they create a facade that is a false protection against the despair of existential loneliness and abandonment. Each of us face the absurdity of life as we live it.

Without facing truth not as a word that is defined by corporate greed but a truth that is not a symbol but a feeling inside, not an external domineering force of lies.

We are constantly on display.  How depressing and boring. Our eyes see and register created desires. Because of this we are easily swayed to move away from purpose and into recording a purpose.  A bait and switch.

We create patterns, repetitious actions that define us.  It is a way we use our consciousness to order the hectic paces of life and visual stimulation. Anger builds when we can't connect to our inner purpose our true self.

We have become objects to promote a fashion to others, a personality with no deep personal revelation, only surface glitter.

Ego demands the will to become the target of obnoxious obsessions of self gratification just so it will be seen by others. 

Our image making is now image taking.  Our greedy sight takes everything in a split second (no need to slow down and truly study the subject before your eyes) as the shutter is released and the ego is fed once again on trivia and embarrassing moments of his or someone else's life.  

I feel it is better to be heard than seen.  Being seen is a limiting your reality that is used up quickly as viewers sift through billions of images without caring for the background of the shot but just a simple glance, a blink of the eye for more and more visual gluttony. 

Accumulating in dull brains that are not experiencing life but traveling in a circus of needy wants to distract them from any possibility to assume a real truth and that truths consequences.

People do not want to be untethered from a physical presence of materialism our only faith since time began. Today, distraction is the the key motivator to elude the harsh truths of the this planets demise.

Deepak Chopra, "You have unique talents latent waiting to be discovered  a talent that no one else has. When you are doing that one thing you lose track of time. When you are expressing that one talent that you posses the expression of that talent takes you into timeless awareness"

The goal of image creation isn't to copy an eventful life with images of external physicality but to create images that express your inner being your inner truth your intuitive consciousness.  When your goal is expressing this intuitive revelation of subject than your images will immediately be felt by a viewer as a life represented to them open and expressive.

Inner dark outer light the addiction to seeing the light as the only reality that is truth. But whose truth is it. A few men and women with vision of a world they see that won't allow you to become something personal, unique. 

You are not defined by others.  If you allow that to happen then your life will be one of sadness with no clear reason why you let your intuitive self to be abandoned.

We project our own fears onto nature, the physical reality we share only with ourselves. 

This instillation of fear based education in our children's knowledge seeking makes them slaves to the voices of manipulation dictating their future commonality with the other born individuals.

And because time is elusive always moving ahead, away from our current moment we are always seeing now as passing and in this passing a feeling of hopelessness and discouragement for our inner vision.

Our looking back into moments dissolving keeps us fearful of our on abilities to break free from the moments ill spent in structured repetition. Like cattle we are herded into the deep caverns of domineering personalities that see only through the intellect and not the intuitive vision of self reliance.

This sacredness of looking beyond your present is a manipulation of the wealth to misguide you into thinking your goal outside this era is not yours but in some future you will die and then your dreams will come true and you will be anointed with white clouds evaporating into dark nothings.

The future is yours if you stop and reflect internally on your chosen present and follow that path you were made for and accept nothing less than your visionary attempts to express those interior intuitions with art that are original and taken directly from your very soul.

Human nature's brain is a copy mechanism, if it looks good then it must be good and we end up copying what looks good to others and then we cycle through our image taking and see only the same bored images, examples of minds seeking conformity rather than original thoughts. 

Move beyond the imitation of purpose and allow yourself the freedom to express your nature creatively.

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.
