My Man on the Elite and Humanitarian Scene: Kevin Trudeau

Dear beloved friends, family and visitors,

Forgive me for taking a vacation from my blogspots.  I've been on artistic assignment and pulling together a new approach to developing myself online and elsewhere.  All of that is to say, I have been busy but I have not forgotten my commitment to post on my blogs and to be in touch with you.

On the topic of "being in touch with you," why is it that visitors don't post any commentary?  Is the work ugly or not ugly or banal or interesting?  I have no clue what you think.  Please don't hesitate to post something.  :)  Your feedback is important. 

I am here today to proudly ad a banner for my friend, Kevin Trudeau and to help introduce my friends, family and visitors to him if you are unfamiliar with his books and radio programs. 

The banner is immediately to the right on this site and elsewhere on my other blogs because, he is perhaps the greatest living person I could introduce you to for one thing.  Yes, I am a huge fan.  He is somewhat controversial, yes, but don't be put off if you tune in and catch a rant.  Continue to listen and make some comments on his site regarding his programs.  There is a very cool method to his approach. 

I will have more to say regarding, Kevin Trudeau, but for now I will leave you with a quick and easy way to contact his revolutionary brand of being an opinion leader way ahead of the curve and a visionary for a better tomorrow for all of us.  You will thank me for the introduction, I am sure of that.

Take care and back to blogging soon.

Note on a Sad Synchcronicity

I note here that when I am at the beach taking photographics, the most beautiful images are captured when those in the individual images are looking away, oblivious to me. 

When someone notices me they rarely smile but look at me with a blank expression or sometimes a dirty look.  It makes sense and although, I try to respect the privacy of the public in a public setting, I am not always successful at doing this. 

People don't want to be bothered being in a stranger's camera and for that stranger(s) to have access to their moments of relaxing which is why I try to image at a distance but sometimes, the people are a yard away from me.  It is a real consideration, I prefer to be respectful.

When I was imaging photos recently and received some blank and or serious looks, I thought to myself:  "I'm a woman, a photographer, not a man shooting guns at you," or something like that.  As it turns out, the shooting in Oslo was either taking place or took place around this time when a real madman with a gun and not a camera was actualizing his dream of destruction.  

The madman in Oslo's counter creative, anti-life efforts were taking place, perhaps at the same time on a beach far away. 

It saddened me further to realize we can create or destroy and in the context of what I do, loading batteries in a camera as opposed to loading a magazine in a gun; creating something beautiful for others to enjoy opposed to taking the joy and happiness of others and their loved ones. 

It is our choice.  Plain and simple.  We can build on something beautiful, a gift of our energy and efforts for others as all artists do or we can take our creative energy and lives and destroy the peace and lives of others. 

We need to care about everyone's life.  "Your life is of value," to quote Gary Null.  Our lives are valuable and sadly, the global community has to deal with what has happened in Oslo too.  One man's war or the war of the many, namely, the military wars than take place in our world. 

We are simply not living in paradise and have to suffer the knowledge that, there is no safe place available where evil does not exist.

I regret that images I posted of people resting on the beach were posted right before my commentary on the Oslo incident.  I could not have known except that may have been taking place possibly at the same time on the other side of the world.  But for the expressions on the face of those who looked a bit puzzled about, why I was taking pictures and what looked in their direction?
