The American car is an island unto itself. It is our movable property and space. We all respect, I hope, that sanctuary. Once again I am creating a social scene that blanks the ethnic background, color and gender of the individual. Why? Because it is important that we try and see others as ourselves. A simple but apparently difficult concept. Why?

Having been raised in large cities I did not have many opportunities to have a butterfly land on my fingers. This butterfly was a hanging lamp shade in a restaurant and I was attracted to it. And yes, at the moment I saw the beautiful butterfly motif, I remembered the few times that I did have a butterfly land on my finger tips. As I move through my life I am reminded by obscure and random objects of times and places within my past. There are little time machines all around me!

Going towards the center? Backing away from what? Measuring the light and diameter of my world? Is it hot or cold? Just right! My focus is positive, fluid and ever changing. I am always searching to embrace and understand  the planet I live on and the world within myself.  This flight I am on is called life and it is  fueled by "curiosity".  

Cartoon world with cartoon people. Simple, but it does make you want to look around the image. I had fun taking the photos of people walking down the street and of the mural that was painted many years ago. Maybe it is a place I would like to go to one day and visit. More likely in my dreams. Enjoy your day!

From young school days through retirement music is a constant passion for Tim. Sharing his talent through the years is inspirational. What ever the passion, sharing is best!

Woman, man, student, black, white, any color, old, young, office worker.....Someone waiting for the bus.

Everyone is an individual. This is a universal reality. People are influenced by age, color, tattoos, religion, clothing and on and on and forever it seems. In this series I explore viewing other people occupying the same space with  social triggers, preconditions and entrenched prejudge disguised by using solid colors, i.e. neutralizing many physical elements that prod us into social opinions of others. Many times an even playing field is good for everyone. Especially in this day and age. Peace Out!
