Snapshots

A place of interconnected moments. A mystical journey through time, space, books and cake. I’m a not-so-grumpy middle aged man… Kundalini awakened back in 1999. I live with the wyrdness and support others through theirs. I hang out with witches, Tantrikas and other oddballs. Own my own wyrdness. Photographer for 45+ years, engineer for 35+ years. Reiki practitioner, energy adept, masseur, bibliophile and former child prodigy.

We lost Frank Gehry yesterday. These photos from a trip in 2009.

One of the funniest things about this post is that the AI used by Tumblr has flagged the curves of a Frank Gehry building (The Experience Music Project, in Seattle) as potentially mature content. But, of course, B&W film photography of modern architecture is, after all, content for grownups…

Ownership meant a physical copy. Now you own nothing and can't find what you want across multiple streaming platforms.

Bring back headphones that plug in. Bring back expandable memory. Bring back owning media.

Being the only unaccompanied man in a space otherwise full of enthusiastically attentive women was, actually, a delight. Quite a lot squeezed into a couple of hours…

I’ve never been tempted to smoke… I lost three of my grandparents to cancer sticks, way too early. Too many friends too. I have a younger brother who has had a debilitating stroke because of his habit… So much grief.

Maa Kali in the battlefield represents the unstoppable force of divine power rising to destroy darkness and restore cosmic balance. In this fierce form, she appears amidst chaos with blazing eyes, flowing hair, and weapons in hand, confronting asuric forces that symbolize ego, ignorance, and destructive tendencies. Her presence is both terrifying and protective—terrifying to negativity, yet deeply compassionate toward her devotees. Each step she takes in the battlefield signifies the destruction of illusion and the triumph of truth. The battlefield itself becomes a metaphor for the inner struggle within every being, where higher consciousness must overcome lower impulses. In this powerful vision, Maa Kali stands as the fearless warrior of Shakti who destroys all negativity and leads the soul toward liberation and divine realization.
