New Landscapes: Fall In Reflection – Part 01
This short series entitled “Fall” is a collection of recent photographs taken with my Android phone during the summer months. What I am attempting to accomplish is a slight transition to the beauty of the Fall season by implementing various color, textural, and tonal changes. Embracing a new landscape; anticipating the coming season that we all have come to love.
New Landscapes: Fall In Colors
fall
the season of color
rich in tone
subtle in transition
you and i
and the whole world
falling in love
– with fall
The Digital Painting I Found Myself In
A portrait reveals a moment in time that can express a lifetime of mystery. In a photograph or painting, the artist seeks to find the deeper essence of the subject and reveal the inner persona via the constructs of light, texture, imagination and form. In a portrait there is always something to say and something we would like to know.
The Secret Place Of Lingering Memories
the life of memories
an endless vastness
– timeless
without world’s end
stretching beyond yesterday’s dream
and tomorrow’s infinite horizon
the life of memories
and its inner fortress
– the secret place
The Path To Grace And The Summit Of Ascension
Last night
I had a dream
So deep
Forever freeing
Never a moment
Did I long for awareness
Of the waking world
Here on the path of Grace
Beauty
Stillness
Love
As I ascended
Through the floating
Orbs of mystery
– past – time
And the Grace
That is You
A Moment In The Woods And A Mountain To Look Up To
I love the season of the bike
In the woods
On the mountain
By the lake
Over the rocks and streams
With blue skies above
Through fallen leaves and barren trees
A trail that weaves to and fro
A drop here
A lift there
I love the season of the bike
In the woods
On the mountain
What You Know To Be Right Is What Someone Has Told You
on a quiet shore
a solitary figure
not unlike yourself
shattered by the day
delineated by the question
of rights and wrongs
in life …
again and again
What Do You Remember On A Beautiful Fall Day
an ocean wave
a salty smell
and flocks of seagulls
– in soaring flight
eclisping the summer sun
What Do You Remember When Swimming In A Deep Blue Sea
Adrift
In a deep reflection
Lost at sea
With memories
Drowning
Sinking
In a pool of you
With the darkening blue
A drowning so timeless
Endless without you
What Do You Feel When You Look Skyward
i often look skyward
to direct my focus inward
sometimes feeling the sky speak
as I see things in a different light.
– than yesterday
the rain has gone
falling earthbound
– like the pepples of broken nights
with my dreams
lost in weary shadows
not to far behind
– from yesterday’s rising sun

Weekly Photo Challenge: Near and Far
It has been a while since I posted on the Challenge. I really like this prompt. So here is my contribution. It is a photo taken with my Android phone of the shore line in Virginia Beach. The phone has no zoom capability. So everything looks far away. But the chair, my girlfriend and the shore line are closer than they appear. I don’t usually contribute any black and white photos, but for this challenge I felt the desire to do so. Some soft focus treatments are used on the image.

Another Earth: Ferris Wheel
Just across the ocean, under a glistening sky, a new town, a turning place, one that we have yet to discover …
Another Earth: Ferris Wheel
there’s a happiness
come to earth
with its new birth
spinning lightly in the night sky
children play with their dreams
– unaware
enchanted by the magic and loss
that has come to town
our every wishful moment
– found here
on the Ferris Wheel of Life …

One of my favorite film soundtracks is BT’s Ferris Wheel – Love Theme from the film Monster starring Charlize Theron and Christina Ricci. A beautiful and haunting song. It hangs in the balance of love and life and its uncertainty.

Another Earth: The Transcending Dream
You touched me with your thoughts as I felt your dreams float away …
Another Earth: The Transcending Dream
in a dream
another earth …
Another Earth: Bridge Over Water
If on a beautiful day at the beach, we could just bridge the gap between our dreams and our reality …
Another Earth: Bridge Over Water
I often find in the solace of nature’s tranquility, my mind, floating on the ocean waves, and soaring with the clouds above. Here my dreams drift. With untold stories of yearning. A forgotten moment here, an aspiration there. All together within me.
Perhaps gone and abandoned.
Until this very thought, this very day. On the beach. And now, fully free of life’s constraints, I walk across this bridge. A bridge over endless water … The internal ocean of desires.
the deep blue sea
floods my being
– with discovery
and perpetual longing
– unfolding
Another Earth: Girl On The Beach
A moment of drifting waves and splashing sky, with the colors of thing to come …
Another Earth: Girl On The Beach
drifting on the endless sea
the timeless invocation
of thoughts colliding
like the waves upon the shore
and the distant
skyward memories
Another Earth
No longer outside my window, but here within … Another Earth
Another Earth
Peaceful – Beautiful – Magnificent
– the home within our hearts …
Post Canvas And Paint: Another Virtuous World (At A Crossroad Remix)
Outside my window, in a revealing moment, I see the choices of my life …
Another Virtuous World
disintegrating
with decisions we make
about to what we dream
to whom we should be
and what it means
– to you
and to the mirror
that stands before me …
Post Canvas And Paint: Another Different World (An Unstructured Thought Remix)
outside my window … beyond the last penned poem
– i see what I can only feel
a sense of disillusionment …
Another Different World
and it is here
– in the world of my own making
that I can no longer provoke a sense of place within this …
an unstructured world, a world without end.
Post Canvas And Paint: Another Fading World (A Deeper Understanding Remix)
Outside my window, I find that some things are without understanding…
Another Fading World
It is a complicated world in which we live. It appears as one thing, yet emerges as another…
contemplative - destructive engaging - futile
A world fading and in conflict with itself….
Post Canvas And Paint: Another Unknown World (A Thought Beyond Remix)
Outside my window and with every thought, I discovered the color and design of things unknown…
Another Unknown World
The colors are all in front of me and my world will never collapse from within…

It was an early morning moment when I awakened from my deep and troubled sleep…
Another Sleeping World
Images For HD Video: The Perception Of Time (A Beating Heart Remix)
Reality is the way we see things …
http://youtu.be/2fYwhvPeRds — The Perception Of Time (A Beating Heart Remix) Copyright 2012 – Walter W Smith – Music by Stars of the Lid
While watching a recent NOVA program, entitled The Fabric of the Cosmos, I once again became fascinated with the subject of “time” and our perception of it. It appears scientifically, that time exists in a “space-time continuum”. Simultaneously existing. Integrated. Both influencing each other. A theory developed by Albert Einstein. My video delves into the human condition of the beating heart as an integral part of past, present and future; as being one without division; all that ever was, is, and will be.
This reality, if one takes the scientific approach, will create for us, another way of thinking about our lives. It can produce an uncertainty of sorts. Does it relinquish us from our past? Does it make the present moment more significant? Does it liberate us from the fear of the unknown–the future? Do our attachments, our thoughts, even our beliefs change and reconstruct themselves? Does our change in perception change even our bodies on a molecular level? Do we become more infused with All There IS?
Yes, I believe so. I can only feel emancipated. Why, because it connects me to everything. I can feel my heart beating as it once did and as it will forever. I can sense the surge of the cosmos and the essence of eternity existing within my very being.
It is beautiful … my reality of time and my beating heart.
P.S. in 1984 I saw the production of Einstein on the Beach at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. It is a post-modern opera produced and created by Robert Wilson and Philip Glass. It is based on Einstein’s theory of the space-time continuum. Beautiful and energetic, I highly recommend viewing it on YouTube.
Here is a link to a segment of Einstein on the Beach.
