"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time."

John Lubbock

It took me a while, but I plunged in this week: [link]



I have been featured in the journal of my friend

Without my dad, I wouldn't have had any erotic experience - or any life at all. Call me Creepy (someone did). [link]



"Shipwrecked by the Gods": I pulled a post this morning. If people have dreams, who am I to squash them?[link]



"The Spirits of New Orleans": I had some strange experiences during a couple shoots in New Orleans recently. I did things, not knowing why, and in the case of a jazz dance movement, never having done this movement and, beyond that, not recalling ever having done it - including during the shoot that produced it. [link]



My modeling name is Unbearable Lightness, a tribute to my favorite novel. What's in a name...[link]




It surprises me that my work with Fitness, breaking multiple taboos as it does, gets only modest attention. Is there something communicated by the reluctance to click on them? I don't know. These are not my taboos. [link]



Now I am throwing down the gauntlet on that sacred American cow, the 4th of July holiday [link]



A world turned "Upside Down" - image of Unbearable Lightness by the incredible

"Lost Bellocq Plate 14" by
=nolaphoto

While in New Orleans over the weekend I heard about the deaths of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. This and a day-long shoot inspired me to reveal a very personal secret about myself [link]







"No Dough" [link]

"Dancing With My Father" [link]



The human race would prefer to forget we are animals as surely as the cat and the mouse. But we also possess higher powers. What is it that distinguishes us?

If you want to see the effects of image manipulation using music, please take part in my experiment. "A Little Experiment With Images and Music" [link]





"Love, Virtually" [link]



What an honor to be featured in the journal of the beautiful Alex [link]



I don't know for what purpose we build upon the years, piling experience upon experience, heartache upon heartache, disappointment upon disappointment, and incredible pleasure upon incredible pleasure.

I just know we do. And it is wise to accept it. [link]

Some thoughts on the artist/muse relationship:
"A Muse -ing" [link]
"More Thoughts on the Muse" [link]
"Regarding the Muse" by Michael Siu [link]



The simple days of childhood's rehearsal for life have given way to the real thing, weed-choked flower beds, the intricate virtual roads intended to expand horizons but sometimes instead cluttering the horizon with so much, well, trash. [link]



"Red Satin" [link]


Blues music, lyricism, grace, and the decadence of decay [link]



Fitness101 and I had a great trip to Montreal, Quebec!



Sometimes viewers feel seduced by my expression in a picture. Is it meant for him (or her)? [link]



Am I dreaming? [link]

"Let in the Light!" [link]



"Constancy" [link]



"The true purpose of travel is to make you glad to be home" [link]



"A Man and A Woman": We all face stereotypes about who and what we are based solely on gender, which strikes me as artificial. We are all both male and female in the womb, and we produce the same hormones. [link]
