Mars Monoliths /
So you don't want Elon but you want his money. I get it, you want the apples but not the tree /
NGOs need to go /
If you want the war in Ukraine to continue please sell your house get a ticket and get into the trenches right now /
Remember throughout history people died for what they said /
We can't have this happen again.
I grew up in the darkness of a communist regime, batshit crazy. This is why I'm very sensitive towards freedom of speech /
A lot of people died for what they said. I think more than for what they did.
Growing up in Eastern Europe I never imagined I would be staring at pictures of Mars in the palm of my hand /
God bless NASA.
Don't forget most Americans RAN from Europe /
I've always wondered what the hell is happening with America and New York City with all the crime and inflation and locked up toothpaste - work from home government and demented president /
Please understand I'm not cavalier about dementia, it is a terrible disease and no one is exempted. My mom had two Masters engineering degrees and she got dementia. But it doesn't mean you get it and you keep governing America.

Vitruvian Woman - Unless you do have a horse /
Don't be prideful with any excellence that is not your own. If a horse should be prideful and say, " I am handsome," it would be supportable. But when you are prideful, and say, " I have a handsome horse," know that you are proud of what is, in fact, only the good of the horse.
This is Epictetus and he's dead so don't worry about it and brag freely.

A destroyed photograph is melting inside a block of ice against the sunset over Golden Gate bridge /
A destroyed photograph is melting inside a block of ice against the sunset over Golden Gate bridge - this is number one in a series of photographs I am going to destroy in various fashions.. I wrote in 2010 while still in San Francisco.

I didn’t really do this project because once I moved to New York city I just stopped taking photographs as ”art” and got busy doing whatever I wanted rather than doing “concept work” that I was just no longer interested in doing.
Still this was my symbolic departure from photography.
