Hubris I’m fighting hopelessness as earthquake chasms sever and break apart – it’s catastrophic enough without leaving intentionally constructed, supremely dangerous nuclear reactors to melt in the balance poised to flow forth in widespread contamination. Anarchy seizes state governments running roughshod over law, due process, justice and fairness. Corporations manhandle elected officials, trumping the democratic … Read more
Last spring, I had an art day with a six year old friend of mine named Tristan, while his mother helped his sister and my daughter on an important team project. I set up a plastic table cloth in the driveway and Tristan and I enjoyed each other and the beautiful day by throwing paint … Read more

All the creatures were fascinatingly depicted, the artwork excellently done. Johnny … Read more

I loved seeing this four minute wonderful video clip titled Shutterbug (click here) which so clearly explains photography that way! Watch the whole thing as the best part is the second half…. and thank you to … Read more
