Like it or not, we are all in this together, clustered just inside the tunnel's opening, standing in the current expanding maw of the Sixth Great Extinction, where we are experiencing increasing and rapidly accelerating turmoil with more extremist behavior occurring on a global scale, and mounting dangers which encircle and creep ever closer until one can feel their breath on their neck as they reach out to clutch at your hair.  Many of the weaker sheeple have taken up willful residence in their status quo, and mistake their personal Matrix for what is real.  However, what is real is the illusion. 


   We are the predisposed heirs to the legacy of the End; we are the madmen Architects whose huge brains and loosely-controlled minds have shaped the Age of Anthropogenesis.  Oh, yes indeed, we are the clever ones, the conceited mammals carrying endless telescoping selfie-sticks, while sporting great bloated bellies with throats shrunk as narrow as a pin.

   Outside of nuclear blasts, earthquakes, volcanoes, and the occasional meteor, we are the sole living species which has proven itself capable of altering the very bedrock, the lithosphere of this amazing planet we inhabit.  Amazingly, mankind's incessant activities have literally changed the hard and rigid outer layer of this Earth.  We are the sole species to have ever been responsible for creating a geologic age: the Anthropocene.

My personal goal with this blog is to share & exchange my world view, while also including some of the many photos I have taken in my as a photo journalist.  Ethos, pathos, logos, kairos, & chronos shall all come into play...
