Habitat.

Peace and Blessings be with you.

“Aeons of torment, construction the cause,

no possible exits, we’ve sealed up the doors. 

This room we have built, the walls four foot thick, 

lies and Neurosis, cement and our brick ”

A “poem” if you like, that started out as lyrics for a song i never finished writing many years ago.

I suppose this theme stems from the fact that after a year and 2 months I have finally secured a lease for a place to live, and the stability that this represents, with its promise of constructive movement fills my heart with Gratitude and Thanks. It also makes me realise the importance of having a space that one can call ones own, and the challenges that so many face who do not have this space.

it also makes me think of the many different kinds of habitats we occupy in todays age….

elevated living...

Twilight is one of my favourite times to photograph, the crossing over between night and day and the activities or lack there of have always interested me. Maybe therein lies the inspiration for a new series of photographs.

Salaam.
