Many years ago I realized that technology would eventually catch up with my desires to be able to paint my photography or alter it into a more suitable manner that was more an art form, rather then just another photograph.
My favorite quote is by Vincent Van Gogh:
"How rich art is; if one can only remember what one has seen, one is never without food for thought or truly lonely, never alone."
This tell quite a bit about me as well, as I live a very poor financial life, partly out of my desire not to follow the norm of society,but to carve my own path in life. I believe that I am a true artist, as I see everything around me as fluid-moving-yet stationary-as a form of individual art.
WE are but small spots in time, grains of sand in a giant wheel in the universe, yet each has a place, a duty and a mission. We could all change the world for better, yet we all continue on our own paths-each in a different direction.
Chaos is a lack of order,a lack of direction-and man has lived in chaos for thousands of years,yet we still have structure and purpose.
Life is very interesting. Its my hope to live long enough to ride off into space-perhaps on a one way trip-to new worlds beyond our own.
Until then-Here I am..exploring and creating, sharing and evolving daily.
