...and you know it's serious when cinematographer Jerry Finnerman puts him in the dark with only his eyes lit.
"The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it's not.
It is an existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of another person - without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other.
They allow the other absolute freedom, because they know that if the other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now. Their happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is not given by the other." -Osho
I edited this photo so many times but never ending liking the tones. Colors are everything to me and the combination of them in a photo is one of the most important things in the aesthetics I am trying to achieve. After so many tries and start overs, I was happy with this result.

"Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together
I've got some real estate here in my bag
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner's pies
And we walked off to look for America
Cathy, I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've gone to look for America
Laughing on the bus, playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said, be careful, his bowtie is really a camera
Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat
We smoked the last one an hour ago
So I looked at the scenery
She read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field
Cathy, I'm lost, I said though I knew she was sleeping
And I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all come to look for America
All come to look for America
All come to look for America"
Simon and Garfunkel 1968
This dog has an existential crisis every time we walk down the alley. Doing its job. I respect it.
Also, I'm going to open a bar called The Deranged Poodle.
Confronting a giant version of yourself can be daunting. Especially when you realize it has better posture than you.

The drone has been sitting in an unfinished state for literally about 3 years. It feels good to have it done and I like how it turned out.
I will say, I had an existential crisis while making an AK-47 for the duplo kid. Who have I become?
He used to be the stuff of nightmares. Now he’s just the stuff of meh. Bolts still intact, but the spark? Gone. He’s not stomping through villages anymore - he’s shuffling through his own existential dread.
He tried to reinvent himself. “Frankie the Influencer” didn’t take off. His makeup tutorials were too patchy, and his skincare routine involved lightning. He auditioned for a reboot, but the producers said he was “too stitched” and “not marketable to Gen Z.”
Now he just sighs. Loud, echoey sighs that rattle windows and make squirrels reconsider their life choices. He’s not scary - he’s just tired. Tired of being misunderstood. Tired of being called “it.” Tired of people asking if he’s Shrek’s cousin.
He doesn’t want fame. He doesn’t want fear. He just wants someone to say, “Hey, you’re doing great for a guy who was literally sewn together during a thunderstorm.”
This Halloween, don’t run from the monster. Offer him a snack. Maybe a nap. Or just a moment where he doesn’t have to explain why his arms don’t match.
My favorite model, Daniel, who also happens to be my little brother.
This is some of the stuff I got for Christmas (The flash and the old camera) and I decided to have Daniel do some modeling with it.
That ivy covered wall is in our back yard, yah I know, I'm lucky :]

"Our brief finitude is a beautiful spark in the vast darkness of space. So we should live the fleeting day with passion and, when the night comes, depart from it with grace." Richard Holloway (2004) Looking in the Distance: The Human Search for Meaning.
A single cloud, floating like it’s got somewhere better to be. Mid-sky, mid-divorce, mid-existential crisis.
Minimalist in composition but emotionally messy, exposed just right to make that vapour trail feel like punctuation.
This isn’t serenity. It’s a passive-aggressive note left on the fridge.
At some point in the past week I had a minor existential crisis/sudden-dregding-up-of-psychic-goop-crisis and determined the only solution would be to go on a walk and listen to some Very Angsty music. It worked. I also managed to get some super cool pictures of the early-summer flora. I live in a very rural area — trees and trees and plants and plants abound. I’ve always loved taking walks and seeing all the plants and animals, especially in late spring/early summer — everything seems especially magic at that time around here. The green is bright yet subdued, there are many pastely late-spring ephemerals, and the sunlight is bright yet gentle. This is a picture of a huge bed of bright green ferns that I inverted into pink & purple.
I thought she was going on a deep sea journey, but in reading the write-up, it sounds more like a journey to human connection..

"Lost 5 – Signal" is a sculpture by artist Karl Mattson, displayed in Penticton as part of the city's Public Sculpture Exhibition from May 2024 to April 2025. This 14-foot-tall piece, constructed from new and salvaged steel, depicts a figure extending an arm skyward, symbolizing an attempt to send or receive a signal, reflecting humanity's search for connection in uncertain times.
The sculpture is installed at the Front Street roundabout, a prominent location that ensures visibility to both residents and visitors. This placement continues Penticton's tradition of showcasing impactful public art, following the display of Mattson's earlier work, "Lost," in the same location during the 2020-2021 exhibition.
Mattson's "Lost" series serves as a commentary on humanity's complacent progression into an uncertain future, with each piece exploring themes of environmental decline and existential struggle. "Lost 5 – Signal" emphasizes communication and the human desire for connection amidst these challenges.
#5318 - 2022 Day 204: In a world where cost is suddenly an existential threat, I couldn't pass the opportunity for a dozen sardines at £3 per Kg. Sardines are among the great things, so maybe they should be valued more highly and not sold so cheaply, but there we are ... These were soon on the barbecue.

The Danish artist Michael Kvium is known for the figurative visual language he uses to tackle the existential themes of humanity. In the exhibition ‘Circus Europa’, Kvium takes the circus as a metaphor for our time to portray a world of entertainment where even the most serious news is characterized by sensationalism and drama.
there are dreams that must remain in the drawers,
in the vaults, locked up til our end.
and so that could be dreamed during the whole life.

há sonhos que devem permanecer nas gavetas, nos cofres, trancados até o nosso fim. e por isso passíveis de serem sonhados a vida inteira.

more 'pointless photos of rust'...
(well yes - and pleasing visual rhythms, hidden eloquence, technical satisfaction and existential gratitude...or so it is to me)
In my professional relationship and friendship with Fr. Giussani I found myself within a historical and existential stream—“ a fever of life,” as he loved to put it—which has never stopped flowing.

"Have you ever transcended space and time?"
This is a dedication to one of my favorite movies - and I honestly wanted to quote every singly line in my title/captions. It's genius.
If you haven't seen I Heart Huckabees, then please do. And if you have seen it - I hope you can appreciate this picture.
So that concludes your lesson for today.
"The universe is an infinite sphere whose center is everywhere
and whose circumference is nowhere."
Sometimes life weaves its own knots, and they are not necessarily to our liking. The questions is: should we spend time untangling them or proceed on? My life has been taken over by a project, not of my bidding, but nevertheless to be tackled. Can the knot be untangled or should life find its own way forward? Sorry for not being on flickr for a long time and not partaking of the joys of your photographs. Hopefully, some time soon.....
Draped in strings and pedal steel moan, it evokes existential late-Sixties/early-Seventies radio balladry like Glen Campbell’s version of Jimmy Webb’s “Wichita Lineman” and Harry Nilsson’s cover of Fred Neil’s “Everybody’s Talkin’.” The sound dates back to Springsteen’s youth, and he channels it masterfully, with some of his most polished singing.

A dream,
or perhaps a nightmare.
A thought that has not yet decided what to become,
a breath held for too long.
Ambiguous presences, almost abstract,
fragile yet tense,
as if the soul had found a surface
against which to press.
I do not know whether they ask to be heard
or wish to speak.
I only know this image
already existed,
before it ever passed through the lens.
Un sogno,
o forse un incubo.
Un pensiero che non ha ancora deciso cosa essere,
un sospiro trattenuto troppo a lungo.
Presenze ambigue, quasi astratte,
inermi eppure tese,
come se l’anima avesse trovato un punto di attrito
contro cui premere.
Non so se chiedano ascolto
o se vogliano parlare.
So solo che questa immagine
esisteva già,
prima ancora di attraversare l’obiettivo.
