delving into the wisdom of absurdity in whimsical way
this blog is about paradox.
through my questions, i hope to encounter the paradox within belief, that place where there is not one answer but many contradictory ones.
each question, each drawing is an invitation to join me in allowing what appears absurd to take us to a wisdom beyond linear thinking.
as long as we question, we are free. free to see, to feel and to express who we are. and to connect collaboratively with one another.

"the emperor's new clothes" by hans christian andersen
this fairy tale has been a companion to me as i have traveled through my life.
briefly, it is about an emperor who was deceived by two tailors who said they were making a set of clothing out of a "dream" fabric. in reality, they used no fabric at all. to make their scam complete, they announced that only those who were wise enough would be able to see the beautiful clothing. and so, no one, not even the emperor, admitted to being unable to see it.
wearing his new "clothing", the emperor paraded through his kingdom. no one questioned his appearance; no one wished to appear less than wise.
until a small child asked, "why is the emperor not wearing any clothes?"
so it is that i ask, if i question rather than believe i am wise, what will i see?

Maybe i will feel that it was not a experienced photographer ...that took me ....photography remains the same :)
would i see myself as out of focus?
Out of focus... in being photographed of an inexperienced photographer :)...so what will my reactions be ?? What will you do ??
yes, what would i do?
would i blame the photographer?
if i am a photograph, is it a way to see myself as others see me? if so, will another person ever see me in a clear focus?
what if it is a self portrait and i am the photographer?
Yes i will blame the photographer , and i will get very angry with the photographer ....haha :)
what if i am moving too quickly....?
depends on how you wish to be seen..you might want to be in the spotlight or the sidelines...or not be seen
so maybe the photographer was capturing my image exactly as i wanted to be seen.....
