WORK IS LIFE

Life is real, though finite. The body is real, though ephemeral. The mind and soul drive the body, through the senses. The work which I do, is both real and eternal. The world has never been a static place. It is composed of creativity, thoughts and action.

The capturing of natural scenic beauty, or living beings by an artist or film-maker, in a single frame, may appear static, but it appeals to the senses. It spurs human beings to act. The stillness transforms into movement, as the mind connects one frame to another.

I exist because

I act to change the world in

bits and instalments.

I leave a part of myself

in every bit that I touch.
