Simplicity is the best way to express yourself.
Who you are, for what you are.
Where being alive is struggle, showing off is luxury there. Should realise the difference between necessity and luxury

Here's my digital visual, coloured in photoshop from a sketch in my sketch book, formed the basis of my Samurai graff piece, prefer this sketch, but i am NEVER HAPPY!!!!! :)
Each of these, in its own way is like a visual haiku to me.

My first piece of Visual Art - from Grindelwald in Switzerland. The scenery there was just amazing while I had to wait for my train to Interlaken. I had 15minutes to wait so it was clear to take some long exposure shots!

I was sitting on the sidewalk in front of my usual perch trying to get some dramatic shots. It was uncomfortable and I stayed just a few minutes.

With the weather turned grey and the spring flowers just starting to poke through, it is nice to view again some fall blooming flowers from a lovely front porch garden in Neskowin, Oregon.
GRAFFITI
Entendida como una de las expresiones de arte urbano más populares y características de la actualidad, el graffiti no es más que un dibujo o una obra de arte pictórica realizadas en las pares y muros de la calle. Así, el graffiti no se mueve o muestra dentro de círculos intelectuales o privados de arte sino que se caracteriza por ser expuesto de manera pública para que todos lo vean y disfruten día a día. El graffiti es por lo general anónimo y puede tener diferentes objetivos en lo que respecta a la razón de su realización: mientras algunos son meramente artísticos, otros son formulaciones políticas, otros de protesta y muchos otros son simples mensajes sin mayores pretensiones.
La palabra graffiti proviene del italiano y se relaciona con la idea de grafito o de expresión gráfica. Justamente, uno de los elementos más característicos del graffiti es que se realiza siempre de manera gráfica y visual. Por lo general, el graffiti no sigue reglas artísticas más que la misma libertad de expresión del autor, y es por eso que mientras algunos son realmente complejos y verdaderas obras de arte, otros son simples frases escritas con cierta violencia en las paredes o puertas de negocios.
Se estima que los graffitis son siempre realizados por las generaciones más jóvenes que se encuentran opuestas al mundo conservador e institucionalizado de los adultos. En este sentido, en muchos países el graffiti es un delito ya que es considerado suciedad o daño de la propiedad privada. Sin embargo, en diversos lugares el graffiti ya está integrado al tejido urbano y es considerado una verdadera e importante forma de expresión cultural y popular.
Hoy en día, los graffitis se han revigorizado en muchas ciudades ya que se utilizan stencils de gran complejidad e infinitos diseños para establecer ideas o puntos de vista. Algunos de ellos son graciosos, otros cuentan con una importante ironía, pero todos lo hacen desde un lado artístico que debe tenerse en cuenta más allá del hecho en sí del graffiti.

It's too much, isn't it?
It blocks our breath.
(highly amazed by the Sonnar Lens. More great resolution pics to come. :) )
Communicating through images today is fast & easy — with your smart phone you can tell the world where you are, what you’re doing & what you’re eating with just a few button presses. But has that cost us something?
Does the sheer amount of mundane images we see make good photos matter less?

I had been 'playing' with this concept for a while in my head. I called it (instead of the Silence of the Lambs) the Silence of the Bird. When I had the final result, it came to me immediately: VISUAL SILENCE.
I don't often 'dive' into the digital 'magical' darkroom that photoshop can be, but for certain projects it is a great creative tool!
Here, in the case of visual silence, what is being absorbed is not sound but gaze.
If silence is the absence of noise, then this visual silence is defined as the gradual absence, the vanishing, of what surrounds it, where we burrow from the visible surface to the invisible core.
Our focus on the image involves a diminution of the optic field:
in this sense, visual silence is like a poem, its power arising from its sheer vulnerability.
The image cannot be penetrated even by the most powerful of gazes because it is already open, in full view... and yet the transparency of the image, one that does not attempt to hide anything, is still capable of mystery.
Visual silence arrests us because it is the interface between two realms of partial knowledge: between he who does not know he is being watched and those who do not know what they are watching.
Some images leave us speechless, we watch them in silent awe.
Ultimately the camera is merely an extension of the human eye, it only sees and cannot wholly know what it is seeing.
Each time I think... that's it, there's only so much you can do with flowers... and yet again and again, I'll see something new.
Being creative is not a choice... it is an urge in me.
May PEACE be with you and thanx for everything, M, (*_*)
