...collective liberation from oppression for all people, an end to aggression and war. Truth, justice, reconciliation, peace.
In addition to Flickr, you can also find me on Peace is Possible, OlyBlog, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube, as well as many places elsewhere and in between.
Happy to share: please contact me if you would like more information, and/or if you would like to re-use any of the photos posted here. I'm especially inclined to share for the purposes of promoting ecological sustainability and social justice: any work that generally goes toward making the world a better place for all.
Consider making a donation. Donations are graciously accepted and warmly appreciated. You can donate via this link to Peace Is Possible. There's a link near the bottom of the page.
I'm also available on a limited basis for hire (for a suggested negotiable hourly rate by donation) for a wide variety of purposes, ranging from consultations, to projects of all sorts! Email with questions.
Thank you for stopping, please enjoy your visit.
For truth, justice, reconciliation, ecological sustainability, social stability and wellness for all. For mutual happiness. For peace!
Berd
From Peace is Possible







Unfortunately, the USA has an oppressive society, where the majority of financial and economic transactions involve some sort of harmful and/or destructive activity.
Ranging from investments and profiting off of war, to the products of sweat shop and slave labor, to the effects of industrialization on the environment...
It's going to take a lot to truly practice peace in daily life.
“Thoroughgoing ignorance about the ways of others is largely a privilege of the powerful.”

[Berd operates mostly in the narrative mode. These photos are intended to serve as a partial documentation of some of the most recent life journey parts. They also serve to bear witness to and to document some of the various socio-cultural economic and political movements, environments, and current events of the day.
Hopefully, photo quality here varies from snapshots to portraiture, and from landscape and nature to social/societal photographic documentary. Mostly, this is a photo journal...and Berd loves nature photography.]

Wayne in Indy says:
"My friend Robert and I argue politics all the time and agree on next to nothing. But "Berd" is a fine guy and a great human being who possesses the qualities of decency, compassion, and humanitarianism to degrees that I admire very greatly, indeed.
I may think him wrong politically, but I can't deny that he's a better human being than I am.
And, lest I forget, he's an absolutely incredible photographer!

Apocalypse Center says:
"Berd is dedicated, tireless, always there, documenting, looking, seeing, examining and sharing what goes on in our community, our region, and our world; particularly those events revolving around peace and social justice issues. His thoughtful commentary about the issues is always provocative and worth our careful consideration. Berd has a deft touch, a discerning eye and we are lucky to have him in this community."
