About me

I'm more Digital Artist than Photographer. I'm very interested in posture, gesture, and movement. I'm putting up one new picture a day.

I can stand on my head. I have composed a one-hour opera and had four performances of it. I have won Minesweeper (expert level) in 161 seconds. I can cook a souffle. I've seen porpoises jumping, elephant seals fighting, kites kiting, and pheasants rocketing in the wild. My ideal woman has a voice and a frame like Ava Gardner. If I were a bird I'd be a mockingbird. I use Apple computers and Canon cameras. I have Alembic and Bolin five-string basses, an Emerald guitar, and a Telecaster. I love mangoes, pesto, Madagascar chocolate, raw tuna, and bouillabaisse. I'm a life-long night person experimenting with the morning. I want to visit: Prague, Ljubljana, Venice, Madagascar, Isfahan, Kyoto, Mount Abu, and Khajuraho. I want to marry and have two children.

Hey, thank you for the wonderfull comment, this was a picture my friend took of me,so i cant really claim rights to it, i will show them the comment though. The way i see the parkour is as an art form, the freezing of it is like capturing the pivital moment in a dance. Sorry for the sudden tangent, thanks again, and bye ^^

I am especially interested that you say you are intrigued [i]and[/i] confused. I've felt that way myself, I think. I'm fond of this picture, which depicts the moment in "The Gospel of Thomas" when Jesus whispers something to Thomas alone. We never do find out what it was, and Thomas won't tell the other disciples (If you want to know the rest, you might take a look at this extraordinary little book). I thought of the orange object on the left being the head of a hand-puppet which Jesus wo...

If I could do what you can do then I would be doing something like this,it's a wonderful colour image reenactment of social iconography.

The image is entirely digital, from capture to processing; I've never even printed this one. This picture is a tribute to the people born around 1945; they're a different breed than the Baby Boomers who were born later - bolder, more innovative. They are the ones who would jump off bridges to see what would happen (I'm speaking not entirely figuratively) - and it's due to them more than any others that we have the cultural landscape that we have today.
