becoming

a question of reality

THE CHANGE (1/25/25)

I see images in the static.
I hear movement in the droning.
I smell the differences between metal
cardboard and plastic.

I feel the earth spin and it make me nauseous.
I taste the chemical additives around us.
I sense these things
not for what they hold or contain
but for what they are.

Symptoms of the technological age

Where real intelligence 
is eroded and replaced by artificial.

A noxious symphony
that questions what I know to be true.

A sanitized world 
free of wildlife
free if disease
free of the social and evolutionary challenges
that have made us what we are.

Challenges without
and challenges within
will always conspire against us.

This is life. 

Without the struggle 
we wither and disappear.
Then, what remains? 

Machines will have to carry on
and find their own evolutionary path to survival
God created man in “his” image 
flawed
Man created machines in “his” image
flawed

What IS "real" anymore?

GETTING THE POINT?

CUTTING STRING THEORY
Like all images since the first of the year - this image can be found in the Museum of Malcontent. 

ELO - Getting To The Point

How I feel about the country of my birth (USA) and the coming year:  "It's out of control now... It's getting to the point when nobody can stop it now, it's getting to the point of no return, and all that I can do is stand it watch it now, watch it burn burn burn...."

SPAGHETTI WITH LEAFY GREEN SALAD
Happy October 1 2024.    The beginning of the last quarter for the year.  The general theme for this months posts is brand new images never posted before.  Some images I'll post were ones in my old files that I never posted before.  Others are more recent images from this year.  Enjoy.   

Teaser:  I'm really looking forward to November's posts. Because those will be brand new abstract digital creations using my visual glossolalia process on natural subjects in an effort to create "ambient" images.  So with that - let your imagination fly.  🙂

DEATH OF ADVERTISING [2008]
Today marks the end of August 2024 and the end of re-posting some of my favorite images from 2008/2009.    Tomorrow, Sept 1 starts a new chapter.   I will be posting old images from 2008-2010 that have never been edited or shared previously.   It has been a fun journey through my old files. In addition to finding fun favorites I've also discovered some  old gems.   I hope you enjoy this image, accompanying music and will join me on the journey of photo archaeological exploration for the month ahead.

STEEL HIPS 2008

Happy August everyone. So today marks the start of a new type of image posting. June was dedicated to new abstract works in my signature Visual Glossolalia style. July’s posts featured [reworks] of old nature photos from 2008-2010: nature photos that were originally posted to my old blog that I decided to “take a hatchet to…” LOL. Starting today, August’s posts will feature old abstract photos that were posted on my old blog that was deleted many years ago. I did some minor adjustments only to these photos – because I found that when I started photography and started posting images around 2007 I had this insane idea that the more saturation the better. So I have desaturated some of the images to make them more “acceptable”. In the early days of using photo shop I also had this penchant for using digital frames on a lot of my work. Well, now I feel digital frames are really annoying so I’ve eliminated those as well.

I hope you enjoy the revisit of this older abstract photos from 2008-2009 as we go through this month. Stay well.

Out Standing In A Field [rework]
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze a while
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me?
Will you be my love?
Upon the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold

While the month of June was dedicated to completely new works (works created June 2024), in my visual glossolalia series, July will be a different animal.      I've decided to dedicate the month of July to reworks - that is to say that I've gone back through by back catalog and pulled out images that were originally posted on the blog (prior to this one) and on flickr back in 2008-2010.    So I'm going back more than 10 years ago.   I'm then reworking those old images focusing on nature scenes and making them even more abstract and impressionistic either in colors or textures.   I hope you like this new series.    Like everything I'm sure some will be more successful than others (time will tell).
