live free or die


Difficult to see the tree(s) for the forest we’ve become.

Coupled with the systematic rape of our privacy by ‘authority’ of what? Government, Religion, Medicine, Science, etc. The savage sociopath of being safe; rendering everything subject to a junk yard dog’s guardian mentality. Fanatics costumed as patriots. To my sensibilities equivalent to the ‘foe’. Thus we implode beneath their terrorizing us: defenders becoming oppressors. In essence finishing the job for al-Qa'ida.

Love is preemptive in the sense it creates and enhances life. Law is remedial, after the event, absent compromise, it becomes oppressive by the numbers. Worse: it is terror by which we choose our elected officials and by terror that they amplify their desirability. Cataclysmic: is the factory farming of our psyche, for profit, enslaved to the 1% who enslave us more and more.

Artist, irregardless of media, attempt to manifest that which is inherent, the dignity and majesty of life as we live contemporaneously—in real time. Love is subtle and creative while laws make criminals of us all. Merely my conjecture, opinion, vote. Arrayed against individual liberty, freedom and privacy are hosts of business concerns acting against We The People. Corporations have the rights of individual free speech, yet act collectively, representing profit not prophecy.

Life is either creative or subsistence, vital or a living death and slavery.

By law, if you can be seen from the street and the image is not used for profit, you are free game. Photography as poetry: simple, direct, succinct. We have the means to render ourselves extinct, collectively, all of us, in one instant. And the measures are in the hands of those, though elected, I wouldn’t trust to take my shoes to the cobbler. Being liberal I tend towards the current administration but . . . but . . . I do protest.

Add my allegiance is to the will of love not law. If you must protest act against the covert injustice not the creative act interpreting the consequence. i.e. As many are murdered by cellular telephones as guns, hammers, knives or corporations like Exxon. Add, please, in a sense they, the covert, are killing the planet . . . not the weapon but the motive sociopaths.

Artist are advocates for the freedoms of life, while all others are for the control of it. Celebration versus degradation.
