Welcome to a new digital vision of photography, these are mostly artistic
digital numerique images and a few Polaroid SX-70 images created for the joy
and satisfaction, that they produced in my life, and to help to give a sense of
purpose to my being. There are many
images available to view on the image servers.

This
site is an attempt to display the effects of the Numinous in my life, and the
creativity that has been gifted to me through this wonderful new medium of
digital photography. Being a retired/disabled commercial photographer, that has
been given a new vision of the world, and this new numeric/digital medium to
express it, this has given me the feeling of what an artist must have felt like,
when moving from a few pencils to a full palette of oils.
Due
to my past, and given that I am still alive, I am so very grateful . Being in
recovery, and occasionally recovered, from a seemingly hopeless state of mind
and body, much thanks goes to Canadian Medical Profession , The BC Cancer
Foundation, the Vancouver Clinic, and in 2009, the Scientist, Doctors, and
Nurses at the University of Basel hospital, in Switzerland, where I
have received three peptide receptor radiotherapy therapy PRRT treatments, and
the medical staff, of the Vancouver General Hospital who have kept me alive
medically, through many traumas, most recently during surgery Nov 2009, after
another surgery, it has
been determined that I have a non functioning intestine, that in the words of
the surgeon, "it is impossible", so now have moved on to
"total
parenteral nutrition" (TPN)
this is a manner of living that does not allow me to eat, anther thing except
fibre restricted fluids, and I obtain my nutrition directly into a major vein
just outside my heart via a "central venous catheter", my life now seems, is
fourteen hours on and ten hours off.
Today even more now, I need to be very involved in my own spiritual recovery,
through Prayer, the through the Recovery Fellowship, and other quiet circles,
I have "A Life". What a marvel that is, for one who thought he would be gone
at least a seventeen years ago. Wow, a bonus ! To find that becoming creative,
in my passion for this new life of Recovery, Service, and Unity, that an
artistic creativity in my photography that has also become alive, and a huge
part of my being. For all this, I am truly grateful. I live with this
certitude that my new life and this numinous art, is all given, not on merit,
but through surrender and Grace. Another area of my being, is this need to
attempt to be responsible citizen in a rather irresponsible world, and by doing
so finding that Service to others, is another avenue to Peace, and well worth
the effort. Today the wonder of living my life, a day at a time, and the joy
of creating art in my life, and art of my life, with the awesome assistance and
direction of a Power greater than myself, brings much peace, mostly generated
through gratitude, and love and service to others, especially with my partner,
of two decades, and many others.
Gratitude
for having been given the courage to make it though another year,
although, it is not easy, it is doable, with help, from something greater than
me, but I believe part of all of us, and especially in the spaces between the
all in the physical world, the Spiritual world, that I have been given knowledge
and the experience. So I have been given some more days, although, I am now
YELLOW as my liver functions have seemed to have
spiked, downward, and have been making myself ready, but I do not feel it
is today, as it is my 23 wedding anniversity. One Day at a Time, seems to be the
answer with assistance from the Force that is above me through me and around me,
as it is between you and me, Thank You all. I
pray always to remember; that if God is my co-pilot, that I am sitting in the
wrong seat, and then to have enough courage to get into action and change
seats.

The
question always remains, Is my desire for Truth, stronger than my desire for
pleasure ?
Please count you blessings and be grateful, it IS the WAY !
