My New Beginning

In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved his title. Do not lose your knowledge that man's proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited roads. Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours.
Ayn Rand








Yes, the day is finally here. The journey begins. Seeking that which I have been attempting to achieve my whole life and now I have a place to realize my dreams. My studio. A place to create and feel the freedom to make art without interruptions of everyday homelife. Here are some pics of me moving in with my best buddy and supporter, Joe. Thanks for believing in me and helping me whenever I ask you. You are truly a person who is good.

Pin Hole Photography with Kids








Here are a few of the pics from the project I spearheaded in June 2007-May 2008. A great charity combined with an enriching art experience for my students. Yes, that's right folks, 10 year olds took these pics with a specially designed pin hole camera that advances film. Cool, eh? Check out this website to read a proposal I made to the New Westminster City Council. http://www.newwestcity.ca/council_minutes/0526_08/Regular/Reports/RG2.pdf
