The Wise Words of Ludwig Wittgenstein

"If people never did silly things nothing intelligent would
ever get done."
-- Ludwig Wittgenstein

If you don't approve of this quote then may I please ask when the last time was that you ever did something wondrously silly? 

And besides.. how important could anything actually be without there being sillyness? So many questions I've asked and the answers seem like such general knowledge but we all need something like obvious questions to bring us back to our own grounds, to help us realise where we are and what in the world we're doing!

Everything needs opposites to understand its complexity, no, not complexity but almost importance? I cant find my words I do apologise! But you understand what i mean?

So now I shall put my silly intelligence to use and start uploading some of my photography to try get you to see through my eyes how this world we live in really is :)

love you guys xxx

"Behind Every Beautiful Thing is Some Kind of Pain"

Creating art and recording history are two very similar things. Art is created with the inspiration or motivation of passionate feelings. Photo-journalism is an art; it starts with a change in history and the photographer merely records it to publish to the world so that they are aware of someones unfortunate happenings so they might be aware and try help in any way.

As an evolving civilisation we need this because without some kind of artist publishing some form of happening, no one will ever know what kind of tragedy is going on in another country, town or even someones life.

Many don't understand the importance of an artwork until it becomes a memory with a story hidden behind. Paintings always hold a story behind them and if someone doesn't know it - there's still a painting that shows a lot about how people are living or coping with whatever's going on.

If war photographers didn't go into Vietnam and capture a monk in flames, who would've known about it? He couldn't have done anything to save him, mainly because he was fighting for what he believed in.

Every photographer gets asked at one point in their career: if a man is drowning, would you capture the moment or would you save him?

That's when artwork gets out of hand.
