A Thousand words!

Since I was a young child I have always wanted to be a storyteller.  I have always been fascinated with the lessons that each story presents.  For many years I believed the only way to do this was through motion photography.  As the idea has evolved, I have drifted more and more toward still photography.  I have struggled with which medium I should chose to master.  That sentiment seems irrelevant now.  Why not do both?  For the past year I have felt that I lost my Artistic Mojo, but it seems that I am finding my groove again.  Like every other aspect of life, self expression has its ebb and flow.

With the R.I.S.E. bike tour on the horizon, I am beginning to come back out of the darkness of artistic block.  I am rediscovering the beauty of the captured moment in still photography.  The transition back into the light of infinite possibility has been made easier with the Iphone as my paintbrush.  The potential for healing through out is a profound endeavor, and I encourage all to take the voyage of self discovery on winds of the artist that resides in each and everyone of us.  Dare to be fearless and create your world.

PEACE

Long Overdue

What ever your opinion is of the underground group anonymous is irrelevant. Whether you agree or disagree, I would hope that you can see past the constructs of your own systems and hear the words that were written long ago.  For me it is not about the messenger, but the message itself.

Creativity, Compassion, Community, & Collaboration

will always RISE above competition.
