TODAY I ASK FOR YOUR HELP.
Never once have I entered a photography contest.I'm just very very selective when it comes to all that stuff.I'll only do it if it deeply strikes me & if I feel it's just totally right and worthy.This one deeply strikes me, this one feels right & it does feel more then worthy.However I can't nominate myself.I have to be nominated by a person from an institution which I think is really great.Today I call upon any of you...any of you that have been a part of the journey or at least are aware of the journey.Any old art teachers,college instructors, any old fellow Gallery friends, Magazine editors or publishers that I have worked with.The range of potential institutions is broad and has no geographical boundaries: anyone from museums, photographic societies, photographers’ agencies, art schools, universities, galleries, magazines, festivals, publishers... are entitled to present a candidate.
I have had a camera in my hands pretty much every day for the past 14 years. I've scoured the streets and this country because I've believed in the pursuit of doing it.I've helped thousands of people to open up their eyes so they can see.Not for me.... yes I do it for me it's just my passion I just simply love it for I am an Artist & that is just what we do.At the end of the day though I do it for you... selflessly,because my work goes beyond what I see in front of me.It goes into the souls of the universe. This is the Power of Art.
With your help & more importably with your nomination I can play my cards and hopefully beat the house.If I win.... & if I may just say I wouldn't put this out there and kindly ask for your help today if I didn't feel that I had a solid chance at winning.If I win I will embark on a journey to continue to tell the story and add to one of the most original bodies of work this world has ever seen.If I win everyone will be able to feel the magic of that.To think that right here right now we can at least start a chance to allow that to happen leaves me with a hope that we can.We can at least try. Nothing in life wasn't worth it without first stepping up to at least try.
I hope that today I can find that one special someone who feels the same.
Even if you do not qualify to nominate the quest may I just send out a big time Peace & Love to EVERYONE out there that has been a part of the journey. That means ALL of YOU.Thanks for the Support, The Response, & The Kindness & even if I don't win it's all good because I'm just going to keep on pushing because I'm in it until it's over.
Thanks Again :)
