MY FLICKR EXPLORE PHOTOS (Or at least the most I've had at one time.)

1. In absence of empathy, it rained flowers, 2. Untitled, 3. Carrie Watch the Sky!, 4. Monsoon, 5. I-10, 6. The palms at First Friday, 7. shiny red shoes

 

I have created a group called 'The Fairer Sex' which focuses on non-demeaning photos of women, something there is far too little of.

 

I am very protective of who I let into this group. If you are interested, please read the group rules and apply for entry.

 

 

I have also created a group called 'Grainy Day' which fairly treats grainy photos. My photos are constantly insulted for being too grainy or noisy. In many cases (although not all) this is an artistic choice. I know I'm not the only one who feels that graininess can be a benefit. If you feel the same way, you have a home here.

 

 

"A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And - how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth ... ?"

"My mind is like a tape recorder with one button: Erase."

- Andy Warhol

 

 

I started photography in late May 2006.

 

I've never owned a camera before now.

 

It's just something I knew that I needed to do.

There slowly emerges a pattern

Details you normally ignore

You notice really what matters

A currently weakening space

Occuring, connecting, and growing"

"Your servant here, he has been told

To say it clear, to say it cold,

You feel the Devil's ridin' crop

Get ready for the future,

It is murder"

"What are we coming to

No room for me, no fun for you

I think about a world to come

Where the books were found by the golden ones

Written in pain, written in awe

By a puzzled man who questioned

What we were here for

All the strangers came today

And it looks as though theyre here to stay"

- David Bowie

 

"Make sure you never

ever stand in each other's way.

Look to each other.

From now on that's what we're gonna do

to you."

It takes our love away

Romance isn't scared

And our hearts are beating cold

Like we were old"

- The Rosebuds

He gives himself an ulcer"
