- New-

We are continually renewed,

Leaving a record preserved in light and sound...

With the passage of time,

It is wise to reflect,

For, we advance only when we humbly acknowledge our own need for growth.

- Culture - Within a gradient of sound, We find our collective identity, We are moved, We are inspired, We are reminded, That we are all radiantly different, That... We are all Family. © Bruce Wilson II 2018.

- Subtle Surreality - One of my favorite types of images to create involves the juxtaposition of elements and textures from another photo into a portrait. Here I was able to collaborate with Abby ( another photographer ) using one of her photographs and one of mine. This image is the finished product which incorporates textures from a photo of a displaying peacock ( taken by Abby ) into a portrait I captured of her. You can see the peacock’s feathers in her hair as well as on her face and neck. In this way the Artist becomes a part of her own Art. ☺️📸🎨🎭 . .

- Fractals - To exist, May be accomplished within you alone, As survival might be possible through the focusing on nothing else but the space within me, It may be possible, But is it beautiful? To be content with mere survival or existence, Is not the same as living, The reality The beginning of what is to really live, Is to thrive within the radiance of We. We is Friendship, We is Family, We is Love… We is attainable through less focus on only I and me, For We are truly interconnected. . . © Bruce Wilson II 2018

- Flora - A flower. So simple and yet so captivating, What is about these that fascinate us? How is that they are able to evoke profound emotion without speakng a single word? I can only answer for myself: It it their seamless blending of science and art, It is the rhythmic dance of light and shadow across each pedal, In this way, beauty is lovingly brought to us within each portion of enternity. . © Bruce Wilson II 2018

- The Creative Process - There is a compelling force. It is the drive within each artist. Much like the powerful influence of gravity that moves planets, stars and even galaxies; this force moves the artist to create… To be able to witness that process in action is, in my opinion, one of the greatest experiences. Thanks @caitecreates for being the inspiration behind this piece. ☺️ .

- Rumors - Tongues of flame, Burn from the heart, They spread the blaze, With lips that can tear the whole world apart, With all the whisperin’ burnin’ holes, Repeat don’t think but think you know, Where friends once stood now foes appear, Amidst the battle cries screamin’ ’ Did you hear!? ’ - Lyrics from a song I wrote several years ago - Rumors - © 2012

- Choice - It’s been said that the course of wisdom is for one to do their best with what they can control; while accepting what is beyond their control. For instance, each day we walk the path we have chosen. While we cannot control all that will be encountered throughout the course of our journey; we can control how we will choose to react.

Lately I've been practicing a lot. My goal is to acquire a stronger grasp on the techniques behind retouching and editing. Presented here is a stylized version of one of my older photos entitled; Ad Links. Personally I feel that mastering the digital darkroom is just as crucial, challenging, and rewarding as it is to become proficient in using a camera. There really is an art to digital editing. In addition, as with other styles, it is a skill that requires time and patience to learn.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then what unspoken depths lie beneath the surface of each individual we encounter? What is the story lived by the people that breeze in and out of our lives on a daily basis? Oftentimes, they come and go without a word. Yet, they carry a saga as real as your own.
