“Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.” / – Jawaharlal Nehru The Untapped Source Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”
The trouble with so many of us is that we underestimate the power of simplicity. We have a tendency it seems to over complicate our lives and forget what’s important and what’s not. We tend to mistake movement for achievement. We tend to focus on activities instead of results. And as the pace of life continues to race along in the outside world, we forget that we have the power to control our lives regardless of what’s going on outside. / - Robert Stuberg The Untapped Source Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”
BLOOD GARDENS Toil and toil / Toil and toil / The blood from my hands / The sweat from my brow / Nourish this garden of my creation. Paul Alleyne -2/25/08
Two actual digital photographs. One of a clump of trees on a dreary day and another of the lovely tulips. I thought it showed that even when things seem dull and hopeless, there is always something to hold on to
The Light / The Light / Do you see the light? / Squint — squint some more. Ahh! Yes, I see it now / Finally! / It is so bright. / Like liquid flames dancing in my head / Its long elegant fingers are beckoning me to come to it / To come closer still Should I go to it? / I am afraid. / Should I bathe my soul in its purity? Do not be afraid. / Do not run from it. / Do not hesitate. / Do not draw back from it. / Go to it now. / Your only chance to bask in its warmth / Dance it its glorious ecstasy / And cleanse your soul / Just like I did, a long time ago / Paul Alleyne 12/08/07 ” Using Photoshop CS2, I merged 5 digital photo images, partially edited then cropped and positioned each image alongside or on top of another image to form this one surrealist image, which along with the written words representing renewal of spirit, with hope for the future.”
It is so wonderful to be heading home after a long trip, in the midst of pallet of color that represents Fall’s splendor. Walk a while down this gentle path sprinkled with shades of vibrant gold and red enfolding us in its comforting embrace.
Come. Travel with me down this dark lonely road / This is the road to Valhala / This road littered with 50 million corpse of young brave, / forced to fight wars waged by greedy, power-hungry, old worthless men / Let us honor these young men, / who sacrificed so much / Let us worship them, / who lived true and died brave, / as they rest their broken bodies on this dark, lonely road to Valhala. Paul Alleyne 08/22/08
They say change is coming! It comes / Like a thief in the darkest of nights / Or, a hurricane whenever it pleases; / knocking you down, / creating fear in your heart / and doubt in your mind The only change I see / is what’s in my hands / And, I can’t buy bread with it anymore. What change? !! / A combination of 3 digital images merged and edited to create a surreal atmospheric event. Also supports the poem written before the image was created.
“Beyond the Red Gate lies the city of Valhala / -a place where brave young men go to die / -and the putrid smell of decaying flesh and dried bones permeate the air.” Image is a compilation of three photographs, (bird, landscape and fingueson the horizon), and a constructed image of the red gate with the stylised posts. Compiled elements are fused together using photoshop CS2 to creative image.
Apophysis rendering. Edited in PS.
No sense of smell / No sense of taste / No eyes to see / Or, ability to hear I have lost my Vision / I am locked in darkness / No light / No way out / No one to hear my pleas / I must find my own way out of this mental trap To see again / To hear / To smell / To taste / Restoring my vision is what sustains my life.
Inspired by my visit to the Dallas Zoo. / A combined 3 digital photographs and Photoshop created images, merged to form this surreal piece.
