What would you wish to inquire of me?   I'm a caregiver who quietly splits his time and location between work in one city and family in another. Aside from giving care and teleporting, I do the occasional photo project and hold photo sessions for family and friends. My photographic medium of choice is digital, although analog is fast becoming a personal favorite despite its apparent cost and inconvenience. Currently, I'm in the process of rebuilding my portfolio in hopes of improving my craft, and to learning new types of styles and techniques, as well as develop my own.

Symbols. “Quick,” the Mommy said. “Draw the river.” As if he’d just discovered this river, as if he’d just discovered the whole world, she said to draw a new map, a map of the world just for himself. His own personal world. “I don’t want you to just accept the world as it’s given,” she said. She said, “I want you to invent it. I want you to have that skill. To create your own reality. Your own set of laws. I want to try and teach you that.” The boy had a pen now, and she said to draw the river in the book. Draw the river, and draw the mountains up ahead. And name them, she said. Not with words he already knew, but to make up new words that didn’t already mean a bunch of other stuff. To create his own symbols. The little boy thought with the pen in his mouth and the book open in his lap, and after a little, he drew it all. - Chuck Palahniuk, CHOKE

Symbols.

“Quick,” the Mommy said. “Draw the river.”

As if he’d just discovered this river, as if he’d just discovered the whole world, she said to draw a new map, a map of the world just for himself. His own personal world.

“I don’t want you to just accept the world as it’s given,” she said.

She said, “I want you to invent it. I want you to have that skill. To create your own reality. Your own set of laws. I want to try and teach you that.”

The boy had a pen now, and she said to draw the river in the book. Draw the river, and draw the mountains up ahead. And name them, she said. Not with words he already knew, but to make up new words that didn’t already mean a bunch of other stuff.

To create his own symbols.

The little boy thought with the pen in his mouth and the book open in his lap, and after a little, he drew it all.
