for a long time and under many influences of various natures i have seen the world as something to manipulate and use to speak to others. some use the world to scare others into bending to some agenda the have.. the second you realize it's a beautiful comedy and there is no real tragedy and death is not pain and life is not all pleasure you can move and bend the rays of light and make them your own. we all have a lens and a screen to project our take on what this whole place is really all about. it is an unending quest, and it is not limited to us. we cannot call it our own. someone may see my pictures someday and think just as many of us have thought upon opening a book of Edward Weston prints, WOw he was really on to something here... or to the art snob...wow what a heap of crap. hopefully as we are growing as a being and a mind we can exist with more minute specs of sarcasm and pessimism. telling someone they are doing a good job is alot more inspiriational than telling them they did it wrong.... art is infinite in its complexity and simplicity. from the micro level to the macro level. i guess i could be wrong....
