I am a mirror of my world. Everything that I create , all that I love all that I find revolting. Everything that is ugly and beautiful, everyone that is obnoxious and pleasant. All the things that make me happy, angry are mirrors of me. We are individuals and the only way out of illusion is to see the ugliest and most beautiful as ourselves. This non dualistic approach alleviates fear and brings real Love into my life.
as the great Plato said " Haphaestus, with his instruments, came to a pair lying side by side and said to them, 'Do you desire to be wholly one; always day and night to be in one another's company? For if this is what you desire, I am ready to melt you into one and let you grow together, so that being two you shall become one ~ there is not a man of them who when he heard the proposal would deny or would not acknowledge that this meeting and melting into one another, this becoming one instead of two, was the very expression of his ancient need. And the reason is that human nature was originally one and we were a whole, and the desire and pursuit of the whole is called love." Symposium, Plato

In my first film called I worked as a camera intern doing video assist and learning the basics of film making including working very very very hard for many hours. I later went to the Academy of Art College in San Francisco where I was taught all aspects of photography was a short order cook in Berkeley’s’ Café Mediterranean, where I made breakfast and lunch for all the time I went to the Academy as well as doing print work for Norway’s version of the Gap, MEXX clothing. Before my second year ended I had put up my first photography show.

I won best black and white at SMC and had my work shown at the Los Angeles county fair.

I really know that people are basically good. Despite our ignorance
despite our indifference. In our hearts we want good for other people and we want to see other people thrive. However there is such little time in the day to concentrate on bringing change so we all do what we can do. The small percentage of people that are evil are the ones that count on people who are basically good not to have time. Literally most people are working they don't have time for anything but work and family and maybe (Flickr : )
I appreciate your comments always. But now it is time to take more responsibility to tell our good friends that something must be done to stop this war in Iraq to volunteer to speak against and to speak for peace. We must spend all the time we can in the present with a firm hand on the past and eye towards the future. The evil ones are the ones that think only about the present and lining there pockets and playing war games for power it is not even the hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars that are their profits.
Continue to spread love, like you do and volunteer with groups that are making a difference like a teaching group or with the peace corps or with www.veteransforpeace.org there are so many positive groups and people out there making a difference each day the problem is it that the mainstream media and the small percentage of evil ones that are brainwashing the world do not want us to see this.
