My greatest achievement to date is my satire story I have been writing, So You Want To Be King, eh? I am in my 6th chapter, the first is ready to be put online. I have commissioned a local artist to design the cover art, I will be receiving preliminary sketches in the next few days. Shortly I will be posting a free bit of it on Amazon. Once I receive the complete cover art, chapter one will be going on sale.
One For Another is something that is very close to me. I am in the process of setting an npo. In the beginning of the idea think soup kitchen, at the end of it think about Panera's "Pay What You Can" meals. My npo is based on the idea of low cost/ free quality meals. Some items will not be available for free, such as my baklava, broiled lamb, etc. That stuff costs a lot of money, I hope that once in a while stuff like that can be for everyone though. I am a good way in, and getting close to file with the state. Once, I am fully registered, then I can start applying for grants.I've already begun looking at locations.
I will be putting up links for both within a few days.
If anyone is interested in learning more about either of these, feel free to comment or message me. Be well folks.

Hey folks, how are you? I have begun removing doubles and triplets of photos from my computer. Usually when I take a picture, I shoot it a few times. As I go through them, I am tossing some in a folder for here. I'll start posting them soonish.
Have a great weekend, be well.

The Fates.
1 min read
For any of you that may remember a few a years ago, I was doing poetry to photography of women. The idea was a compendium of eventual books called "The Fates". Inside the collection were 3 books that were titled; The Crimson Lore, Midnight and Her Embrace, and Little Earthquakes. I have been going through my work and edited some of the poetry, and will be re-posting work these works with the image written about, in a new folder called The Fates.
All of my work I once had up was ok'd by the photographer to be posted up here. I will be getting these permission as I can, again. If you do see a piece of work that is yours, please acknowledge it so I can re-request your permission or take it down at your request. I will also be requesting new subjects as well.

Way out of left field

I'll randomly stop by people's pages and look around at their work, what they are trying to relay in a piece of work, think about it and appreciate the values in variables given.
What is beyond me is how people can assume what is going through the mind of an artist they've never spoken too, yet seem to think they "know" the artist like a close personal friend.
I said the words "you should" once to someone while encouraging them on something. The response was that she didn't like the word "should" and mildly explained why.
For those of you that do not know a lot about me, I am a writer, although I don't post my work online (theft and all). I think about words, I think of how powerful they can be when put in this order or that. They have impact, whether positive or negative. I have learned this and try to live by it.
I was looking around on here to and I saw a comment on a photo. The photo was a woman who was not smiling. The comment stated that the woman should be smiling.
It irked me. The person has no idea on what the image was trying to relay and being cute in the specific comment stated was more along the lines of being assumptive and arrogant in way of suggestion.
That image was created like that for a reason most of us, if not all will never know. I think leaving comments is fine, but when the work is undermined for the sole purpose of someone wanting to be "cute", it becomes a very negative connotation in undertone.
It's kind of exactly the same thing as a female being degraded for doing an artistic nude around here and then some jackhole leaving a comment about how cute her tits are.
I am pretty sure there are some people who post nudes to get comments and attention, and they get their trolls that hit on them over pictures too. On a more serious level though, I think models and photographers that work towards a basis of creating something that is moving paint those scenes, and who are we to abuse what we don't understand the ideas behind?

dark-keita.deviantart.com steals photos and slaps his name on them. I have reported him. Be Leary if you notice he came by your page.
