POP CULTURE
Photographer:
Little things, grandiose visions of anything touching. Bones and waste. Pixels,
shadows and gray scales. Shutters and non-mechanical eyes. A
personalized lens. No photo shop.
Painter:
Brain
and colors, intertwine. A shrub on a country hill. Snow and, no favorite
seasons. A brush to stroke, and a daze of velour. You can’t get lost here.
There’s no impression. Realism lies in the rippled river.Ochre.
Magician:
Escapist
act. Winding people up. More than just a top hat.
Gaudy lights and gloved hands. Delicate. A chain and a
custom cage.
Little tricks and smiles. Big world with no boundary. No
wand here.
Poet/writer:
Irony. Fragments. Fragmented Irony. The music of words.
Tide. Pattern. One theme (s). Sensible observant. Catharsis.
A speaker for,
the world. Soul. Motifs. Hands are vehicles for motifs of
the soul.
Ab-jective.
Instrument player:
Second to love, comes music. Music follows.
Fountain of bliss. Mistake. Frustration. Perfection.
Strings, keys and
happy lungs. Genius. Clever. No music. Dead world. Staccato.
Observer:
Virtuoso. Observation is an art. Understatement. Incredulous
disease. Jaded and yearning. Better than school. Watching
the,juxtaposition of souls on streets
and country plains. A zillion become
one. Black, white,
red and yellow. Fires burn. Moving. Still. Real time.
Spiritualist:
Progress of the soul. Rumination.Growth and stretching of,
something unseen. Transcendence. Truth in water.
Little things/big things. Pale endeavor. Light in happiness.

steer from black
tides. Prayers.
Film as a medium:
Analyze. The reel. Big screen or TV, it doesn’t matter. Psychological trauma. Scene.

mercenary language. Numbers and smelly paper.
