MY FLICKR EXPLORE PHOTOS (Or at least the most I've had at one time.)
1. In absence of empathy, it rained flowers, 2. Untitled, 3. Carrie Watch the Sky!, 4. Monsoon, 5. I-10, 6. The palms at First Friday, 7. shiny red shoes

I have created a group called 'The Fairer Sex' which focuses on non-demeaning photos of women, something there is far too little of.

I am very protective of who I let into this group. If you are interested, please read the group rules and apply for entry.



I have also created a group called 'Grainy Day' which fairly treats grainy photos. My photos are constantly insulted for being too grainy or noisy. In many cases (although not all) this is an artistic choice. I know I'm not the only one who feels that graininess can be a benefit. If you feel the same way, you have a home here.



"A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And - how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth ... ?"

"My mind is like a tape recorder with one button: Erase."
- Andy Warhol



I started photography in late May 2006.

I've never owned a camera before now.

It's just something I knew that I needed to do.

There slowly emerges a pattern

Occuring, connecting, and growing"

"Your servant here, he has been told
To say it clear, to say it cold,

Get ready for the future,
It is murder"

"What are we coming to
No room for me, no fun for you
I think about a world to come

Written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned
What we were here for
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though theyre here to stay"
- David Bowie

From now on that's what we're gonna do
to you."

It takes our love away

And our hearts are beating cold
Like we were old"

He gives himself an ulcer"
