Life is chaotic. It’s also precious and beautiful. Most days, we need a reminder for that second part.
The first part is in our face. The kids are sick. The job blows. The 405 is backed up. The bank account is missing a zero, maybe two… You know the story.
That’s what I do. I remind myself, and others, of the second part.
I focus on (sorry) people being people and abstract landscapes.
Through photography and painting, I help us to appreciate life, to see the beauty in the everyday, to savor the moment. I don’t want to reach my deathbed and regret that I wasn’t really alive when I was alive.
All of my images start as photographs. Sometimes, I use a regular camera and lens. Sometimes, I use a plastic camera and a plastic lens, sometimes a modern camera and a retro lens. Sometimes I paint the image; sometimes, I don’t.
Either way, whether it’s wall or accent art, when viewing my work, I hope you smile, and appreciate life just a touch more.
To The Beauty Of Life,
Mike
