Threw out this experience we call life I have come to realize that most things that we conceive to be true last only for a moment. As time passes, people, environments and ones self change. Things that were true are no longer. New truths come about just to contradict them selves with passing time. And time, striate line or circular, is always passing. Reality exists, only in moments. Clarity in our short realities is hard to achieve and when it happen, this clarity is once again only for a moment and in this moment of clarity one is capable of changing the direction of ones life (where ever it may be headed).

We ascend on our staircase of reality, only wakening every so often. Only when one experiences that time and space have nothing to do with reality can one move freely through it. Today is already tomorrow and tomorrow is all of time.

What dose one fear and why? We as a group "humans" fear everything. We fear everything form open spaces to death. We fear every element that exists in this reality and beyond. By definition fear is the anticipation of risk or danger witch may or may not exist. SCARED philosophy lies with in the wording "anticipation". If one anticipates an event before it happens. Is it possible to conclude that for this individual, who anticipates this event, That the event has already happen in preconceived virtual experience that we call imagination? I would have question ones relationship to reality that has lived only experiences in a virtual world while the majority of our society lives in "realty" (how ever it may be defined). If fear is paranoia of what might happen than is it possible to easily set aside this paranoia and let reality happen as is?

Reality is defined as the totality of all things possessing actuality, existence, or essence.

What if I couldn't see? How would it look? What if I couldn't hear? How does it sound? What if I could not taste? How would things taste? What if I could not smell? How would my world smell? I interpret the world around me through my senses. My experiences are dependent on the translation of these senses and when one fails my brain compensates the remaining senses. As a species we translate most things similarly such as color, smells, sounds, tastes, and the way things feel; but as individuals we decide threw experience with these senses what dictates our reality. We make decisions based on logic and emotion that interpret our character and those decisions are influenced by the environment that we live in (Environment includes people, places and things that we come in contact and or communicate with) and in turn we influence the environment. I have to assume on a daily basis that my reality is the truth. I also have to assume that the rest of humanity (the community in which I am a part of) has a similar definition of the world. Logic, emotion, communication: senses, chemistry, experience. Know reality but never trust it. Reality changes form more rapid than we can conceive. Respect reality but never fear it. If feared, reality will cheat one out of a good time (life).

Through my work with photography I am diving deep in to my self and the world around me, looking at reality as a simulation that can be caught and changed. My camera and computer help me to realize that the world around me is only that what I make it. Through digital photography I attempt to visually highlight the illusion that we label reality.
