's artistic nude photography is beautiful, capturing grace and portraying a wonderful array of profound emotion. The execution is fantastic in all, and the black and white contrast is used to brilliant effect.

's intriguing pieces of literature provoke some great thought in us, especially as the message is so strongly conveyed, the impact made greater in how he has phrased things.

EmbersThe leaves fall like embers and I am seared.
Gas-choked rivers glow from everburning flames.
The air of sulfur and hydrocarbon cocktail
Lead in the food, lead in the water
All is gray and black and fiery oranges, yellows, and reds of blood and flame alike.
Pacifists pushing for change
                 for rights
                 for medicine
                 for anything
Sawed to pieces by automatic weapons
Or strung over a bar by a rope
Native creatures and plants rotting in piles of soiled compost and char and settled smoke.
Where plants till can grow foreign noxious plants thrive and animals infest.
A stench of death and smoke and gas and pain and gas and blood and gas as it chokes.
The leaves fall like embers and I am ~ An extract from Embers
"Sawed to pieces by automatic weapons
Or strung over a bar by a rope
Native creatures and plants rotting in piles of soiled compost and char and settled smoke.
Where plants till can grow foreign noxious plants thrive and animals infest."

Poem promptThe sky is not falling
We are rising.
As time marches forward
We learn.
We make some terrible mistakes where the sky seems to creep further out of reach
Yet over time we get back to our feet
Mature
Improve
Grow.
We, as people
As individuals
As communities
Nations
A world,
We are rising up
Making this world a better place
For us
Our children
Other animals
Plants
Everything.
It has taken us a long time to see some of the mistakes of our past
But now that we do, we can make things better
Step by step. ~ An extract from Poem prompt
"We, as people
As individuals
As communities
Nations
A world,
We are rising up"  

Past the GatesOutside the walls
It's dangerous
There are many threats
and few guarantees.
No batteries
No medicine
It's cold
It's hot
No mass communication
Not much love.
But.
Not much hate.
A spectrum of colors with no paints or synthetic dyes.
Music without music
A menagerie left and right
Large and small
A wide choice of scenery
A little slice of heaven
Some can stay forever
Many can't
Most don't want to.
There is evidence of the inside,
a shred here,
a scrap there,
but for the most part, purged
or integrated, the land with the leftovers
Trunks consume bicycles
Current events turn to soil
Artificial mountains of abandoned shelters covered in natural moss and vines
Organic
It heals without aid
Outside the walls. ~ An extract from Past the Gates
"A little slice of heaven
Some can stay forever
Many can't
Most don't want to."
