Compassion

"A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our past and present policies. On the one hand, we are called to play the Good Samaritan on life's roadside, but that will be only an initial act. One day we must come to see that the whole Jericho Road must be transformed so that men and women will not be constantly beaten and robbed as they make their journey on life's highway. True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring."

Martin Luther King Jr., A Time to Break the Silence

Journey

I know the video quality isn't the best and it's long, but bear with it. It's worth it.

"I wanna see through all the lies of society
To the reality, happiness is at stake
I wanna hold up my head with dignity
Proud of a life where to give means more than to take
I wan't to live beyond the modern mentality
Where paper is all that you're really taught to create."

Comfort

"I have named the destroyers of nations: comfort, plenty, and security – out of which grow a bored and slothful cynicism, in which rebellion against the world as it is, and myself as I am, are submerged in listless self-satisfaction."

John Steinbeck

This Kingdom

"The Kingdom of God is for the burnouts, for the broken and for the broke.

It's for the drug addicts, the divorced, the HIV positive, the herpes ridden.

This is for the helpless and for those who have no hope, the outcasts that have been created by the church and for the outcasts of society created by us. Those who are the most serious of kinds.

The Kingdom of God is for the brain damaged, for the incurably ill, for the barren, for the pregnant too many times, for the pregnant at the wrong time.

This is for the over-employed, the under-employed, the unemployable and the unemployed.

This is for the swindled, the shoved-aside, the left-aside, the replaced, the incompetent and the stupid.

This is for the emotionally starved and the emotionally dead.

The Kingdom of God is for the bigoted, the murderers, the child molesters, the brutals, the drug lords, the terrorists, the perverted, the raging alcoholics, the over-consumerists, the incredibly ugly, the dumb, the ignorant, the starving, the filled, the filthy and the filthy rich.

The Kingdom of God is for everyone."

Double Exposure Portraits

With the exception of the addition of vectors, the removal of odd blemishes and changes in tone, these pictures were all done 'in camera' (i.e. without using photoshop).

Incredible.

Lies

“The most difficult lie I have ever contended with is this.
Life is a story about me.”
