Profile
having broken bread and shared tea with nomadic yak herders,
iranian princesses, refugee children in exile, gurus, and saints,
this is a brief visual account of the past twenty years,
of one ever-changing lifetime.
my images are very personal, documenting the very real face of cultures on the brink of being absorbed by the all-pervading commercial globalization of the human race,
an individual perception and expression transcending language barriers and cultural concepts, relating directly via the lens of a camera.
living in villages and monasteries among people with backgrounds in ancient cultures has taught me to appreciate the simplicity of being and the common spirit of humanity. using photography as an expression of sensory perception, to strip away the tommy hilfiger and nike exteriors and reveal the heart of generations behind the hype of global uniformity.
there is very little, if any, post processing,
all single images, straight off the camera,
in the moment.

Writing
bardo | song for the dead
seeing the truth, neither here nor there / trusting this life, so unique, so rare / everything changes, in the blink of an eye / knowing the mind is as vast as the sky
the bus stand
the beggars chase their habits / the coolies chase tourists / the hindus chase their self / the children chase each other
black widow buddhists
ignorant cognitive minds / spinning webs of conceptual deceit / entrapment in an energetic maze / spurious emotional conceit
sweet seduction
mysterious knowing of subtle embrace, who are you ? / where do you come from? what form do you have? / when did you first appear? how do I know you so well?
big apple blues
all encompassing momentary awareness of the human need, / for love, / a glance into a strangers eyes, / reconnecting unto the heart, / offering a simple smile, / acceptance and acknowledgement……
this and that
idling on the amber of life, / awaiting the change, / a sign from god, / divine inspiration or intervention , / intervening in the ebb and flow of now…..
