In a time where disruption seems to be the order of the day in life, a city becomes chaotic. — Recently, my antidote for chaos has been to find places where I can go slow, down my city living tools, and use my camera to capture more elegant and leisurely ideas. Landscapes loom up in my mind, and more and more I yearn for open spaces. Horses are slow, then fast. They know when to stop. They are leisurely, and can be elegant a lot…

When people get lost in a city, they tend to gravitate towards the nearest phallic symbol. “Paris is always Paris and Berlin is never Berlin!” — Jack Lang There’s a Radio /T.V. tower in Berlin at Alexander Platz. It has been photographed about one billion times. People can’t resist its…

To feel for Art, is to Sense the Yearning and Mystery of the Human Heart. — Recently, I’ve noticed lots of articles and images popping up on social media, here and there, showing examples of “art” created by AI technology.
