Everyone is an individual. This is a universal reality. People are influenced by age, color, tattoos, religion, clothing and on and on and forever it seems. In this series I explore viewing other people occupying the same space with  social triggers, preconditions and entrenched prejudge disguised by using solid colors, i.e. neutralizing many physical elements that prod us into social opinions of others. Many times an even playing field is good for everyone. Especially in this day and age. Peace Out!

Woman, man, student, black, white, any color, old, young, office worker......Someone waiting for the bus.

Cartoon world with cartoon people. Simple, but it does make you want to look around the image. I had fun taking the photos of people walking down the street and of the mural that was painted many years ago. Maybe it is a place I would like to go to one day and visit. More likely in my dreams. Enjoy your day!

The American car is an island unto itself. It is our movable property and space. We all respect, I hope, that sanctuary. Once again I am creating a social scene that blanks the ethnic background, color and gender of the individual. Why? Because it is important that we try and see others as ourselves. A simple but apparently difficult concept. Why?

Having a meal and later "game night" with friends. People of the planet gathering together to enjoy each others company. Who knows each others past? All that counts is the present!

The bus stop. A place many people are familiar with and depend on. Many destinations to be reached. Traveling to visit loved ones in the hospital, going to the movies, grocery store or visit a friend. Not everyone has a car or enough money for UBER or LYFT. But Mass Transportation is the future for the planet. Needs to be the future! The sooner we all get on board, the better for the birds and bees!

People, just folks going to and fro at the bus terminal. Visiting family, shopping, commuting to work or going to the park to walk and enjoy the fresh air, we all have some destination in our minds and hearts. We are a world of people first and foremost regardless of physical differences. Let us share this planet with grace and curtesy. Unity!

You can never tell a book by its cover. What lies beneath is the heart and soul of the person. I try to find equality in first encounters. It is the right thing to do.

These are not brothers walking down the street together. They all have different parents, friends, family. Were they raised in America or not? Individual experiences in life and love unique to each. But we all live together in a wider sense. Sharing the Planet. We are taught as children to share. Have we forgotten?

Being an individual in a world filled with individuals can be daunting. It is a world with many types of social pressures, gravity not withstanding. All we can do is hold our ground and wait for the moments that allow us to find family, friends and work. The honor in life is found in the kindness we can share!

A bus station. A place where humanity travels through to go places. To visit family, friends and life. We all travel in our hearts and minds. We travel together on this planet we call Earth. 

We all have more in common than what divides us. Shape, color, gender, place of birth are less important than helping each other. Listening is a skill that offers many rewards and leads to better understanding and solutions. We push hard to to live a more peaceful and happy life.

The world seems crazy. So many weapons, so much hatred. The above Red Figure could be anyone in strife. Running from danger. Running for help. Many of us are fortunate to sleep well at night and have food to eat. I think of this often. I am grateful.

Hanging on by a thread. Life is not always like this, but stuff happens and we act. The anonymous figure could be anyone. Everyone has a history. We all prefer the good over bad.

We all move through space and time. Physically, in a scientific sense, always together! But in the footsteps of our practical lives there are always obstacles that prevent us moving forward. The Winds of resistance. We never know another persons velocity because of this resistance. This requires patience in order to have meaningful connections.

Life is an upward challenge. The climb is well worth the effort!

Sometimes life feels like a breeze. The sense of nature flowing over us, gliding past and leaving us in   contentment. 

Find a place to inhale the air, see nature in the raw, feel nature on your face, your hands and in your heart. Moments taken to reflect and appreciate life are precious.

With the world as a stage we are all but actors in a large, very large play. Shakespeare would agree with such a statement. Our rolls are to take care of each other and to show kindness as mush as possible. Life is a test so let's get an A plus!!

My take on what my Bit Coin could look like. In this case someone walking somewhere, about to do something with their Bit Coin.
