I can dance all day long my friend. Here is where my soul wanders. You and I, and others here will most likely never be bringing down the big bucks. We use our experience, and our mistakes to create images that others feed off of. And that is an honorable thing. We post often, but are we only feeding the surface feeding fish? Do we post the same thing over and over and it just feeds the constant swarm of fish swimming through the area?
Ask yourself, when have you or I, or others here have taken the strong swimmers with us to explore something that lies beneath the surface. You mentioned your wife and I miss mine greatly, think for a moment, do you know her only to see her for a moment? Doesn't it require that you look into her eyes and see that fire, to smell her, to taste her and to know what she means to you? Are we not as artists required to capture all of that and then to help others do the same?
Oh, yes.... old Mike the crazy one. The firey one, the moody one but is he crazy? We can hope not. Is it about arguing and disrespecting one another? Is it about pissing in someone's face to make ourselves feel better (and I know you never do that), or is it about giving someone the skills to maximize the passion they have? If they do not have it then it will be a breath that dissipates in the wind. If it works then it is a kiss.
JMHO
Mike
