Something I wrote in a comment that I thought would make a good post

[misterx]

"When I see a sagging house or a forgotten ruin, or a swirl of oil in a puddle, it reminds me that I am within the neverending process of birth and destruction that is the universe. Swirls of decay making the raw materials for the next creation. My awareness of this creates a strong feeling of belonging and rightness within me... the great machine works all around me, and in me, and through me. I am both cog and observer, and I walk in amazement through the intricacies of it's movements.

The world, seen in this way, is full of beauty, even in decay. The ballet of being is everywhere."

Wow, the last tho photographs have a very powerful force of composition. They forcefully seem to say WE ARE! and at the same time reveal their form... beautiful...

But dude, are you sure you aren't pagan? It's a lovely, and fairly pagan, sentiment.

i get along with pagans just great many times, but i have no desire for ritual or organization, so I figure that pretty much rules me out as a religious man.

You don't have to be religious to be spiritual, right?

Organization? What pagans have you met? *grin*

You're right, of course. You don't have to be religious to be spiritual. But when you're targeting audiences for your photography, don't forget the Pagan market in addition to the others; a lot of your stuff is right down that alley.

The sagging and forgotten are always my favorites. :)

Well said, it makes so much sense when you put it that way. I love your "sagging and/or forgotten photographs. One day, when I'm making money again, I'm definitely going to purchase some prints...they would go perfectly with my sagging self. ;)
