Inspiration LLD3 / This is my entry into the Live, Love Dream group’s contest number 3…... I feel that my own personal inspiration comes from the knowledge and understanding I have of my very being, and of my open-mindedness and willingness to learn what already inspired spirits have to share……(That’s all of you)…. I am forever and continually striving for more of that precious knowledge. Walter Russell wrote in 1947 in his book “The Secret of Light” the following….“Inspiration can never be produced. It can but be reflected from one inspired mind to another recognizing one. Idea and inspiration may be echoed from spirit to spirit but they can never become product of matter in motion”. I recognize and accept this theory as being true and I thank all of those inspired minds that have passed their inspiration on to me! Rather than name names, I would much rather be general but rest assured that I am very sincere when I say that my inspiration has grown by leaps and bounds by my association with so many very talented artists, photographers, writers, etc. here on Redbubble……….Thank you one and all…! I shot this sunset on 02/26/08 at 6:05 PM; I hope you enjoy it. / / __ / All The Materials Contained May Not Be Reproduced, Copied, Edited, Published, Transmitted Or Uploaded In Any Way Without My Permission.

“A person can grow only as much as his horizon allows.” John Powell If we can’t see the forest for the trees; if we can’t see far and wide and beyond our limited scope, our lives will remain stunted. May we all be visionaries who have faith to see the innumerable possibilities the good Lord offers us! (Scene photographed on Sanibel Island, Florida, at sunset, July 2008).

Have you ever heard the country song “It’s Hard to be Humble”? Well, I am finding it VERY difficult to be anything BUT on this website! I wonder if any of you have experienced the same feelings I have when roaming through this site. I LOVE taking pictures and although I realize I am in no way, shape, or form a pro; I do think I have taken some pretty amazing pictures….or at least I DID until I started looking through redbubble. The level of artistry is amazing on here!! I guess it is all a matter of perspective….I have never taken any classes, really have not much of an idea how to use the camera I have properly to get the best shot, and I am a complete amateur. So all in all, I take a pretty good shot! However, with the quality of art found on this site, it will urge me to expand my knowledge and perhaps learn a few tricks to make me grow as a photographer. Thanks for that!!

Expanded Profile...Relational Indifference

Since “Mother’s Day” is coming up shortly I thought I might share a little on the subject. I can almost hear all you ladies out there saying how sweet, and in all honesty I wish I had something sweet to say about my late mother, but sadly that’s not the case. / I have admittedly looked at mother’s day just as I’ve looked at father’s day, with an attitude of “whatever” pretty much my whole life. / I’ve never understood it when I’ve seen grown men get all teary eyed and say all kinds of sweet sappy things about their mothers or their fathers. My thoughts were always; wow that guy must really be a momma’s boy, I admit this sounds, pretty cold doesn’t it! / Yet, I’m probably not alone in my great indifference to the emotional bonds many grown children have toward their parents and family in general. Perhaps the only difference between me and some of them is I’ve taken a great deal of time and prayer to understand why! / Thus, my purpose for addressing the subject at all, my hope is that should you be one such as me or you’re married to one such as me, you might gain some insight about one possible cause for, lets call it, “family relational indifference.” / Mine started at an early age, my father was always physically abusive and my mother was always emotionally detached, but because of mother’s day, I’m only going to focus on my relationship or the lack thereof with my mother. / My mother did not give hugs and there was no tucking in at bed time, and there was no good night kisses, and none of that, “sweet dreams don’t let the bed bugs bite.” Her eyes were not loving and filled with approval, her eyes were more like, what now, empty and dismissing. / She divorced my father when I was about six-years-old the plan was for my brother and I to choose who we were going to live with, which in itself revealed her emotional detachment. What mother would leave the issue of custody up too two young boys especially when the father had a proven history of physical abuse? / My brother and I were to make our decision on Saturday next, as our father was coming that day, but as fate would have it I was still asleep when he arrived. Apparently my brother had already made his choice to live with our father, as my mother woke me stating so with somewhat sad eyes. I of course felt somehow obligated to stay with her even though I wanted to go with my brother, to which she replied, “I’m glad at least one of my boys wants to stay with me.” Having gone and told my father, my choice, his response was, “I figured as much, that you’d be the one that would want to stay with your mother.” / Two interesting comments that negatively impacted me for most of my life, first my mother’s message to me was, she wasn’t glad I was staying, she was just glad one of us was staying. And second my father’s statement that it figured I’d be the one to stay with mother, in essence making me out to be a momma’s boy! Hence the birth of my attitude toward men expressing love for their mothers, and the birth of my attitude that mothers don’t deserve such love and devotion. / This was of course reinforced over the years, as my mother remained emotionally detached from me the rest of her life. I eventually ended up living with my father and my brother ended up living with my mother for several years. I hadn’t seen her from the age of about thirteen-years until I had just turned sixteen, when my brother took me to see her as she was passing through our town. When we got to her hotel my brother knocked on the door and she invited him and his, “friend,” to come in. To which my brother replied that’s not a friend that’s Marty, even though it had only been three years, she didn’t recognize her own son, trust me other than being a little taller I hadn’t changed that much! / I only saw my mother once after that five or six years later, and we only spoke twice after our last meeting. Once when I was in the intensive care unit of a hospital for thirteen days because of a car accident, she called once and basically talked about herself for five minutes ending the conversation with, “hope you feel better soon.” / And five years after that I called her just before Christmas to try and reconnect with her, I had since become a Christian and asked her to forgive me for anything in the past that may have kept us apart, and to let her know she was about to be a grandmother for the third time. / Less than a month later her seventeen-year-old son from her second marriage, murdered her over a dispute about his car privileges being taken away. So for me this is why when it comes to, “Mother’s Day” I think “Whatever!” / My situation might be a little extreme compared to some, but the point being my circumstances made me become relationally indifferent when it comes a lot of family things, and I don’t know how to feel, what many of you feel. / So should you be one such as me, don’t condemn yourself if you struggle with relational bonds, there’s probably a reason why, it took me along time to figure out my reason. And if you’re married to one such as me, don’t push it, your spouse may not be able to feel what you feel and when you push it, the only feeling that comes is condemnation! / Now days, even though I still don’t know what it is to feel what many of you feel toward your mothers, I envy those of you that enjoy a loving relationship with your mother and encourage you to let her know how much she means to you this mother’s day, and be sure to thank her for being the good mother she’s been throughout your life, because not all mothers are! Until next time…

Light, swirling, condensing, sucked in on itself and expanding at the same moment in time. / This was a photograph taken in my brief “Camera Tossing” phase. Brief, because I was terrified of dropping the camera (a Nikon D2X). I moved the camera as I aimed it at the lights on my stereo. The result was twisted in photoshop: / Filter – distort – polar coordinates – polar to rectangular / Rotate file 90 degrees / Filter – distort – polar coordinates – rectangular to polar

There is an area in Death Valley National Park called Badwater. It is the lowest point in the United States. The ground is a dried up salt bed but does provide texture and patterns for the basis of digital art. All the color in this image was added in Photoshop.
