We are bred to understand time as being present and past and never will their accumulation give you any insight into your progression forward in your individual future time line.  Yes, you make plans, you go to school, you find a partner you obtain knowledge of your exterior purpose.  

A purpose that is limiting your present state of consciousness because it is not apparent how you decided on your future life through the classes and friends you made.  When you were young the world was wide open. Your thoughts roamed the universe as you tried on all the different costumes of personality and freedom to experiment with all the outside forces of nature.  

Then as if on a time schedule you were faced with making a living.  Isn’t that an unnatural way of looking at the infinite choices you can make but not out of inner purpose, excited about the new world you want to create for yourself and family.  

No, the future is laid down in a structured cemented road that demands payment for your imaginative years, they believe wasted years, those years of excitement and folly, trial and errors until the moment of truth sets in by someone else's purpose that will now choose my future for me.  Giving me up to the machine of external control.  The great wheel of avarice, money and greed. 

The intellect seeking comfort in a created reality of equations, etiquette and controlled behavior.
   

You ask yourself how did you end up here when you wanted to be somewhere else as you progressed in a life dominated by exterior forces, based on fear, accumulating wealth and limiting avenues of choices to reach your goal.  

Which, I can guess was to make money and postpone your suspicion of a vision coalescing and then being separated from your instinctive will to create, so in your retirement years you will have enough to survive in calm quarters.  But yet, even in following the exterior pressures to conform to a stagnate life that doesn't represent your core perceptions you did it anyway out of pride, ego and fear.

These infinite worlds we succumb to enhance the wealth of a few but leave us wanting more in a desperate struggle to find the purpose of our youth, our true self's inner light.

The gift of intuition is the means of controlling your future path.  Focusing your mind and opening the revelation of your interior purpose, externalized in visual art.

Not all image creation can be an internal dialogue externalized.  We still have to survive in the realities created before our birth. We sometimes have to stumble along making a living until we perceive our gifts of creation and take the necessary forward steps to uncover our true creative talents.

As the rivers flow, your vision becomes the memory of the water's passing, stabilizing the movement of time to a perception of constant visual unity a consistent stability of perception with breaks in the line of sight each step we take toward our artistic expression is a continuity of our intuition, a duration studied and explored giving us insight into our life and possible others as well.

But is memory really a past or is it part of the present moments we are living now.  The only thing we don't see is the future coming at us in a mystical flight of fancy. We can't physically see the past but we can have our visual reenactment by studying our memories through photographs and deciding if these memories we created bring us to where we are today in our own originality or are they memories that define us in someone elses strict perceptions of their vision of reality ingrained in our mind through repetitious constraints of our freewill and original fears.

We are present in the photograph in some unnatural way.  A frozen moment that captures not our inner being but an outer facade that grins into the camera only to lose the expression of happiness once the shutter was clicked. 

The past flows into the present and leads us to our future.  Each moment of our lives is in flux and each thought we have shapes our present becoming a memory trail that can propel us into a future of recognition of our true talents. Or stifle our creativity by an immense pressure to conform to the dictates of society and their angered knowledge of the truth.  We are all  individual intuitive beings with a wealth of unique revelations.  If we fear change, any change, then you will be limiting yourself with a narrow reality of someone else's will.

Our memories are a necessary gage of how much of the past was ours to believe in or did we believe in someone elses words and structures dictating to us our present condition. We must unburden ourselves, release our repetitious thoughts that have up to now kept us in a locked room with redundant imitations of a life we thought was ours. Recognition of our past can become our impetus to change our future.

Vibration of cells create a fluidity of life in spacial time and in the mind.  We flow in motion itself which we use to intertwine ourselves with our nature.  Thus we can see motion from a infinite perspective of choice and the direct visual object is the constructed memories that allowed us to survive and be represented.

Allowing us a means to create an image from our inner conscious awareness in a revelation of our spiritual journey externalized.

Our future moments and are past moments are represented in our present moments, with us through our insightful durations, our focusing our intuitive consciousness past the frivolous repetitions of our daily existence to the deeper meaning and purpose of our image creation.  

We live in a natural accumulation of memories and they are our future materializing.  

Space is only a distance between objects, an infinite separation of time that we postulate as movement and thus see not infinity of statuesque physicality but movement in space, our lives unfolding.

Your vision is not the temptation to short circuit your intuitive forceful perspective but to open your vision to the details that encompass your framing of your subject
your vision externalized through image creation.

Photographs can define us as a nation and as a person.  They can reflect our true nature or a nature we want but can’t quite attain.  If you are looking outside yourself for your identity then you are looking in all the wrong places.  Your interior identity is created through the exterior forces that happened as you grew up and solidified those exterior prodding’s as your true self which in turn created your path of expression or stunted expression.

Photographs take from the subject something unfathomable but yet necessary in order to understand your private interior exposed in a photograph that doesn’t mean anything of itself but a fleeting moment passing as time acclimates our moments as bumps on a vast highway of bumps and passing lanes.  One of our greatest means of wealth we share with each other is our daily deposits of communicating with each other. Your path toward the big finale can stunt your intuitive expressions veering you away from your original thoughts and purpose.

Images can create a facade, a barrier between the inner self and the outer barrier we wear.  And in time this outer barrier begins to dominate our lives and we think we are in our purpose but in fact we are now living an exterior life without an intuitive mindful goal to express and to break free from your limiting views of change.  Your present self is in a state of confusion because of how the life path chosen was not the one you needed.  And now the life you are in is as a stranger to you and you are in inner turmoil for change, but how and what to change into?

Photographs can create a temporary history of us as we move through life and experience the eerie repetitions of actions that some up our relationships with those exterior personalities that can stifle our need for change and ignore nature's presence for instigating change. 

An ultimate change of vision is necessary for your revelation of your unique inner perspective. Who will know or believe your words and actions unless you express them with knowledge of who you are and what this fast paced concoction of life distracts and seizes you with.

We are present in the photograph in some unnatural way.  A frozen moment that captures not our inner being but an outer facade that grins into the camera only to lose the expression of happiness once the shutter was clicked.  

When to you enter into a scene that instills in you a connection of certainty that this is where you need to be, you begin to settle in to the environment and expand your senses to study and find that moment that can only be your revelation of times systematic forward march in your development of your inner vision.  If you arrived minutes later, seconds later, the scene, the landscape would have had a different personality, a different awareness of demand that you would be ignorant of. 

Photography is easy and quick and sometimes we have to respond in milliseconds to take the image.  But because it is so easy to snap pictures we assume that that is all there is to it. The external world is there for us to capture on film and memory cards but there is more to image creation than just taking something from nature and not interacting with the beauty present.  

That moment of exposure was only capturing a transition state. If you were taking a picture of a landscape you are not seeing the entirety of the possibilities. In that split second of time you clicked the shutter and created a stability in time, a frozen moment by taking the sense of continuance away from the infinite flowing time line. You filled an inner void in your space by clicking the shutter and demanding a cohesive, stable representation of the scene you were witnessing.   

Image creation is a means of dominance and control.  An ability to stop time’s flowing obsession. We feel empowered by the click of the shutter capturing a thing, stopping its momentum to out run our senses, our future, our lives.  

Portraits inspire the person to become the image presented. The power of the image created is its influence on the innocent subject being externalized on a screen or framed behind glass, a trapped animal.  

All life is in flux, change is the ceaseless momentum always forward.  We see time as movement only in that we feel and see the change taking place and in that change we know our limited future.  This instills in us the need to capture now, our lives and not wait to the ultimate demise of body and soul where our pride will not allow us to be seen or heard as we fade off into oblivion. 

An image gives us a stability of mind and a reference of our past, present and even our unknowing future. With the photograph before us we can sense an approaching force that can broaden our possibilities or limit our need to explore and digest the impending futility of life without a purpose. 

This understanding of our ever changing and illusive life unnerves the mind to be and do things that seem unusual but to our mind necessary in order to combat a life unloved with a life lived in our own particular way through memories of our factual existence through pictures, giving us a foundation of acceptance and stability until we are ultimately forgotten.

September 3, 2018

People are beginning to have a hard time thinking for themselves.  We are being groomed to accept artificial intelligence as our companion in decision making but in reality it is a means of controlling your intellect into making decisions not for ourselves but by a strangers voice, controlling what you think and should feel. The voice gives you options but it is a controlled environment, a narrowing of your ability to make decisions for yourself.

We are overwhelmed by the complexity of life's constant pressure to make decisions that we must make minute to minute, second to second.  Our intellect is on overload trying to gather an infinite amount of visual and corrupt wording that it loses its foundation and validation as a controlling influence on your everyday choices. Your intellect is eroding, being replaced by an artificial intelligence that is not your own inner known personality but now known as an outside force of deceptive independence. We are retreating from individuality, the hall mark of an intelligent, independent being, to a trained circus animal allowing external voices to dictate to us our behavior.

Our parents dominated our conscious intellect for decades until we broke free from the controlling purpose of their love.  We must think for ourselves.  Photography is a perfect example of repetitious copycats of external nature.  We must develop an intuitive force of will to relax and accept the subject for who they are.  Both inanimate and animate creatures of nature.

Photography is your own vision.  Your own unique style and your personal representation of external, physical space. 

When you are in tune to your environment, studying the scene present before you, you are in a state of heighten awareness.  You and your subject are on the same playing field and your focus, your attentive intuition is beginning to see the composition, light, exposure and your closeness to the subject manifesting itself as a flower blooming.

Having a sense of calming interpretation of physical space opening up, accepting your universal telemetry of insightful anticipation. You begin to understand that demanding a subject presents itself is a delusion of selfish ego. Having this attitude will only confuse and alienate your subjects purpose and your own. Freedom to be present, (not over thinking the subject in front of you) is the bonding influence we all must attain if we are to be accepted by the present unfolding scene before us.

You can't demand a response from your subject through demanding arrogance.  In order to unify your perception through intuitive awareness you must allow for nature's nuances to shift also, to acknowledge your presence with an opening vision, a feeling of connectedness of two opposites coming together.  

Insights build a relationship with you and your subject by anticipating your subjects beauty by the shifting light and a natural composition that allows your subject not to be overbearing in the scene but to be forward as one steps from a uniformed line to a myriad of possibilities to accept your inherent vision beginning to form as you study the scene before you.

When we see a beautiful scene whether it be a portrait or a natural phenomenon we must allow the natural progression of our intuitive feelings to guide us to that moment of truth.  That moment when all the elements of composition and natural beauty come together to give one a sense of awe and great fullness that you were present in body and spirit to see the revelation but also the privilege to create an image, a personal expression of your inner landscape objectified in the presence of a shared accomplishment.

An image that is part of your inner psyche at the deepest levels of respect for the natural gift of purpose with the external world allowing it's beauty to be taken from the landscape, because of your willful focus on a unique detail that illuminated the interconnectedness of life's gifts.  

Open your senses to the overwhelming rush of lost time for the human race.  This incomprehensible ability of us humans to deny our unique vision and to react in life by retreating from awareness and not be proactive to our changing our future and others by opening up our heart to the miraculous being of nature. Most of us sabotage our success by filling our minds with do's and must do, in order to escape our own responsibility to become our true vision. Success will not happen by abandoning your intuitive nature. 

A willingness to breath deep and enjoy the sacred moments you alone are present in. You mustn't hurry past the gifts that are presented to a mind set on anger and frustration with his life as it is. You alone can change from a beast of burden to an accepting partner with nature, to reveal your inner beauty not as man vs nature, to see which can conquer the other first.  

Your first step is to be present in the atmosphere of perception allowing your subject and yourself those moments of complete fullness of insight, as you form an image internal to you alone but gifted to you by being present in nature's beauty as it is, in an insightful way and not through mans ego of aggression and dominance.

August 12, 2018

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.

July 13, 2108

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.

June 30, 2018

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.

May 24, 2018

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.
