Think before you comment. That's all I ask. If your brain is not connected to your hands, then please step away from the keyboard and go find someone to call you an 'ass.'



I'm also a complete dork - but I'm not going to point out the pictures that show that off. You want to play that particular game of peek-a-boo, then knock yourself out. Or, you could play the easier game that involves finding pictures of me. Because, if you're reading this profile to get an idea of who I am - then I probably don't know you, so you don't get to see the pictures of all the people and things I find important. As for the contact levels - I use them in my own way. Friends get to see snapshots, Family gets to see more snapshots. 'Higher' access doesn't mean less clothing, folks - if this disappoints, then please, exit is stage left.

And I can't whistle.

Stare. It is the only way to educate your eye, and more. Stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop. Die knowing something. You are not here long. (Walker Evans, 1903-1975)

There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is on a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others. (Martha Graham)
