Bonjour Friendlings far and wide! My name is not important, my message is. On one of those days when everything around you comes crashing down like summer hailstorm, I found myself searching hard for my place on earth, my purpose and my talent. Im a firm beliver we all have a place, a purpose and a talent, they are God given and meant for the taking. My place Africa, my Purpose to help ,my Talent...taking pictures simple as that. I see the questionmark on your forehead already. Good photographs,ones with meaning ,ones with conviction and a story burn fires in people, fires that can spark any emotion. Fires that can spark CHANGE! In a world, and especially in my beloved continent, we are faced daily with attrocties that are unforgiveable. We are inturn reminded of these attrocities in the news on the tv and in magazines. WE DO NOTHING. Why? because its negative, humans natural self defence is to turn off the bad and turn up the good. Which leaves most of you "happy" in your 3bedroom houses and aircontioned offices and cars. It leaves you content with your 3meals a day and designer shoes! BUT THERE IS SO MUCH MORE!!! This is where this blog and I come into play.
Postive thoughts result in positive reactions, so why dont we get positive about our WORLD, and find the good in it, and the happiness, smiles and love that run alonside that good. First hand I have had the privelage of experiancing something that in hindsight has changed everything about the way I look at the world. Smiles, smiles that come from the most unlikely places. I once read somewhere that some people were born to suffer, and that people like you and I will NEVER understand that. We are also disadvantaged by the fact that we have no idea of the PRIDE,LOVE, and SMILES that come from having nothing. When you can be happy and love with nothing, but Love. You are a free man. Not bound to anything but your heart, and open to all God and the universes beauty.
SO in this BLOG I hope to paint your screens white with smiles, fill your eyes with tears of joy, and hopefully inspire you to take the smiles I will share with you. WEAR them on your face and take them home to your community, and lets spread postivity. AND THEN we will see change....its really not hard, we all know it takes fewer muscles to smile than it does to frown...so stop exerting negative energy and SMILE!! SMILE AND LOOK ALIVE!!!
MUCH MUCH LOVE AND LIGHT
