SUBTLE LIGHT
Essence Of Life:
W eek in frames brought to you by Ashtonesia, as we enter into a new manufactured year of 2015, I see many changes that are all around the streets and from the mouths of others. There are speculations on what is to come and predictions mostly of destruction. I have heard of this many times over the years. Its looks like to me that the minds of the planet where the living reside do not have any value for life at all. From cover-to-cover mouths only speak of death and destruction all the time. Don’t these mouths have kids and families of their own? It really does not matter which part of the world you live or what your belief is all aimed at. Life is given to all that has it, and with that there is the responsibility to either appreciate it or not. This thing that many like to speak negatively about aiming at life around the planet the only ones will be really on the better side of the table are the ones that understand the laws that are equally leveled for all that truly accepts peace, love and all things great shall have it.
As I end my section of subtle light, I have learned and appreciated so much that I have gained in the process of it, the meaning of life itself and time, people from all different walks of life, this has changed me for the better part, and I will continue to always walk the direction that was created for me.
I never mention any of my styles of shooting on anything I have on the web, but one thing I can touch on in my images is that they all do mean something more than what the normal eyes of everyday people will see and appreciate, and I do not shoot in the line for people that do not understand what life really means. If you don’t get it, that means it wasn’t for you to get, with no offence (one day in your life when you have lost everything but the biggest thing that means the most to you then you just might get it). But for the people that do understand what life is really all about, you will find something in my workflow that you can communicate with your higher self of appreciation.
Animals love and have a way that they communicate with us all at a deeper level, to many of us miss the point on this, time change and nothing stays the same, there are always rebuilding, and some people has to pay the price of that cost. The universe is given to us to appreciate, it holds the formula of our lives, and I do not like to see pain even thou pain is part of healing and growth. It was a great experience and I truly had so much fun with it all, the things I learn from you will never come back, yesterday is long gone and the forward will continue to move on. Every frame I capture holds their own significance; they all have their history behind them.

Four men works on a building high above ground under very cold temps as one guy stands on a level jack-hammering some bricks, that is some skills and guts to be way up there doing something like this in the name of making a living. (

His friend was very friendly at first but then seems to get upset or little on the up on ups about something I have no idea about, but he too did manage to give me eye contact, his owner told me that he does bite, but even in there aggressive states they do not attack on the fly, dogs can smell fear on a person and will react accordingly, but I had dogs myself in the past so I do understand there nature of being.

The person that has this pooch hanging like that is not even funny at all, I could see the dog is very uncomfortable while being taken aways in this manner, I wanted to say something, but then held my peace from being flamed at, having no idea what this person is taking out on the dog will then take out on me. A very disgusting way to treat a animal that is full of peace and love. (

This looks like something has collided and it did, many people were put out of there apartments with higher rents and such, they even stood on the streets demanding something to be done and for this high rise to stop. However as you can see it is continuing to build no matter what, a price that many will have to pay dearly for, I have no idea how the effects came to this but it does works very well for what happened in the past and what is to come.
