I'M HERE TO EMPOWER YOU!

I’m an artist . . . but that’s not saying much, because I believe, and it is something that I have devoted my time heavily to convey, that art expression is an inherent property of human nature. The media may vary, but not the innate disposition.

Those that know me have heard my “talent-as-myth” diatribe all too often, and if you end up tuning in to my posts, you will encounter it soon enough. It is my goal to change the notion, which a great number of people resign to, that one needs to have “talent” to pursue the art they feel or want and am doing this on a daily basis through my program in the G+ Mentorship Program for Photographers.

With that as preface, I will probably devote a portion of my posts to inspiring artists, but I also plan to impart other conceptions that I have about life in general, with the goal of elevating, encouraging, enlivening or energizing those who read them.

Let me begin with this:

I wish for you the ability to create for yourself all that your heart desires.

”Little #Seagullbutt Planet“


”Little #Seagullbutt Planet“
Anyone who has been to the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco knows how inundated it can be with these birds. So, the city decided to make a new one (since they’ve built it a couple of times already, what’s one more? … ;o)). However, this time they made one on it’s own little planet in the sky, where the hoards of birds could live happily ever after.

If you want to see some really awesome little planets, head on over to Sassi Sassmannshausen’s Collection, “Little Planets & Co.” https://plus.google.com/u/0/collection/kV0vZ. His are conspicuously lacking in seagullbutts, but that’s a good thing … ;o).
