My man Squirk stopped by the studio this weekend during one of my shoots. Of course, I always have to ask for a quick session if you’re close by.

“In reality, all men are sculptors, constantly chipping away the unwanted parts of their lives trying to create a masterpiece.”

“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”

I don’t think any trip has changed my views of life like this one. The American West is more than marvelous. I “escaped from Atlanta”and had “ultimate freedom” as Alexander Supertramp said. Everything that I’ve battled with internally and externally at home was dissolved and forgotten. I felt that civilization was at ease and my mind became clear of what mattered most to me. I stood by the grand masterpiece work of a creator as it upheld the music that this planet listened and danced to. Nothing like it, I told myself as it would later tell me the meaning of life. Later that evening, I woke up my betrothed and told her. From then on, everyday I try to challenge and act upon what my dreams told me, keeping to myself my quest of living my dream….. If you want to know what my dream’s interpretation of the meaning of life, just ask me in person…..

A great comrade in the battle of gaining truth and wisdom from the world….
