Abstract Series #1 / 2006
October 7, 2007
The art of capturing a great image with a camera lies in the subject matter and the eye behind the camera.
The eye behind this camera is Jon...and his images provoke a series of responses when I view them...at one moment stark and raw...the other words that come to mind are transcendent especially when he turns his lens on his beautiful wife Amy...he invites the viewer into a very intimate space unabashedly...and in doing so he creates a visceral response within the viewer, not a cerebral one...and in doing so he creates ephemoral imagery that transcends mere photography.
In a world that celebrates perfect air brushed imagery...I applaud the strength of character and
artistic vision of Jon not to be bowed by this "affectation of humanity" and present his images
unfettered, unbound...and totally real.

The Blue Wall Of Silence / 2003
By Cherie Carter-Scott
1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate
it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a
full-time informal school called, "life."
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a
process of trial, error, and experimentation. The
"failed" experiments are as much a part of the process
as the experiments that ultimately "work."
4. Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A
lesson will be presented to you in various forms until
you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can
go on to the next lesson.
5. Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of
life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're
alive, that means there are still lessons to be
learned.
6. "There" is no better a place than "here." When your
"there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain
another "there" that will again look better than
"here."
7. Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot
love or hate something about another person unless it
reflects to you something you love or hate about
yourself.
8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have
all the tools and resources you need. What you do with
them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9. Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's
questions lie within you. All you need to do is look,
listen, and trust.
10. You will forget all this.

An Invitation To Join BlindPassion Lifestyle
www.BlindPassionLifestyle.com
More Free Features Than "Yahoo" And "Google" Groups, And Permits More Privacy, Networking, And Adult Content Than Either "MySpace", "Facebook", Or Any Other Website For Adults.
Always Free To Join, And Always Free To Stay A Member
In a moment of blind passion the experience elicited an epiphany, and then you surrendered to your passions. Now you are forever beyond the box.
BlindPassion Lifestyle is a new social network and adult dating website for intelligent people that urges its members to express, not just the sexual side of themselves, but feel free to convey without censorship all the other important aspects of their lives as well.
It is the next generation of social networking and adult dating.
The site offers more social networking features than "Yahoo" and "Google" groups, and permits more privacy, encourages more connections, and more adult content than either "MySpace", "Facebook", or any other adult, social networking website.
Because you are an adult with a complicated life, we would cordially like to invite you to join one of BlindPassion Lifestyle's eight exclusive Gateway Communities:
Friends with Benefits (Straight Singles);
Bisexuals;
Naturalists;
Lifestylers;
Amateur Exhibitionists (Photography Enthusiasts);
The Polyamorous;
The Gay, Lesbian, and Transgender Community;
Our "VIP" Gated Community.
BlindPassion Lifestyle is always free to join, and always free to stay a member for as long as you wish.
The economy is getting tough. For many of us our economic status is tight and will be getting tighter. The county is officially in a recession.
We have made it easy for you to take advantage of all BlindPassion Lifestyle's social networking features for free, because the site first and foremost is not just another dating service, but primarily an adult social network for you to meet new people, make new friends, and express yourself.
As a free or Standard Member you can start building your network of friends, create your own groups, and post unlimited public, private, and very private photographs.
You can send emails to any other member, write public and private Blogs, and attached off-site videos and "Photobucket" photographs to them, including videos from "RedTube" and "Porn hub" if that is your preference, and then send Flirt messages to anyone you might be interested in knowing.
You can post your music, post a 24 Hour or Future Booty Call to meet other members, as well as, upload "YouTube", Hulu, "MSNBC", "CNN" and other broadcast videos for public viewing on your Profile Page to draw attention to your personal interests.
You can also add three personal videos - one for public viewing, one that all your friends can see, and one that only your approved Inner Circle of Friends can see.
You can participate in the Forums with members from all eight of the Gateway Communities, or join a Forum with members from just your own community.
You can even create a list of your favorite people with each name linked to their Profile Page, receive a Real Person Diploma to prove you are an actual person, and see the date, username, age, and sex of the last 50 people to view your Profile Page.
Although sex is an important part of your life, it is still just one part of it, so on BlindPassion Lifestyle we encourage you to promote your social and business interests, discuss and post your art, debate ethics, politics, and post your events.
You can get all your gossip, daily news, entertainment news, and up-to-date political news every day from over 300 world wide news sources in our News section, as well as review our favorite "YouTube" and other off-site videos in our Stories section. (Send us your favorite news sources and off-site videos, and we will add them to our lists.)
All Standard Members can also:
Use our Advanced Search feature to find other members;
Connect to our Group Chat with Live Video that includes members from all eight Gateway Communities;
Connect to our Instant Messenger (IM) with Live Video to chat with an individual member.
Only if you choose to subscribe to our Match Mail feature that automatically matches compatible members to you based on factors like age, body type, sexual preferences, preferred activities, and the type of relationship you desire, or wish to permit members of your Inner Circle of Friends in your network to view all your most intimate photographs and videos do you need to become a Premium Member at only $9.00/month, or less when you pay quarterly, bi-yearly, or annually.
For the first month of your membership you can use the Match Mail feature for free to experience how effective it is in finding you a date for a day, an evening, or a lifetime, even if your date is the opposite sex, the same gender, or another couple.
You will be shocked how well it works. It is well worth our Premium Membership price, if you want it.
All this is our way of paying it forward in tough times.
BlindPassion Lifestyle is offering more features, content, privacy, and permits more adult content than any other social network.
We cordially invite you to join one our communities to start meeting new friends.
Also, we will pay you a monthly fee once your business or organization's clients, members, or guests become Premium Members of the site, and join your network.
You can e-mail Admin at: contact@blindpassion.com, if you would like to earn extra income at no cost to you.

Many thanks in advance for your time and consideration.
Warm regards,

Four Rules We Live By
Try Very Hard To Do No Harm To Anyone Intentionally.
Treat Your Neighbor Like You Would Want To Be Treated.
Pay It Forward.
Teach That Love Is Passion, And Learn That Love Is Surrender.
In A Moment of BlindPassion,
The Experience Elicited An Epiphany.
And Then You Surrendered To Your Passions.
Now, You Are Forever Beyond The Box,
In Search of Creating New Ways Of Expressing Yourself.
In the Beginning there was nothing.
One trillionth of one trillionth of a second later, you could hold the entire galaxy in the palm of your hand.
In the first 3 minutes after the Big Bang, 98 percent of everything we know to exist - time, space, matter, and gravity - was created.
The Universe is about 13.7 billion years old. The Earth is about 3.6 billion years old.
There are 100 billion stars in our Galaxy. And there are 100 billion Galaxies.
The geological record proves Man was not on Earth at the same time as the Dinosaurs.
Within our space in the Universe scientists believe there are eight to 12 other Universes vibrating at different frequencies just beyond our sensory range creating a Multi-verse.
If it were not for 800 years of the Dark Ages, we would be colonizing outer space by now.
It seems silly to assume that we on this Earth are the only living creatures in this Multi-verse.
An old Chinese proverb says, "Keep the sheep in a field with no fence, and only the crazies, and artists will drift beyond the horizon.
The Jesuits used to say, "Get them while they're young, and you've got them for life".
We know, whoever controls our stories, and controls our sexuality - controls us.
Given our place in the Universe, it seems even sillier that we have created rules that divide us from each other; not to mention belief systems that prevent us from being in touch with ourselves.
But then separation is the nature of power and control, especially in an environment of diminishing resources.
Just because we can do a thing, does not mean we should do a thing.
Just because an act is not illegal, but is nevertheless unethical, does not mean it should be accepted as permissible.
Victory is sometimes found in surrender. Love is not a power struggle. It is a mutual balance. An ebb and flow among partners.
Science, Sex, Art, and Religion should work in tandem to further our search for pattern recognition, to bring us all closer together, not thrust us further apart.
We should learn to pay it forward. Create, and stop living off the buying and selling of others.
Because predatory capitalism makes more enemies, not more friends.
And always try to do no harm.
Superiority is more often than not, just an acute sign of insecurity.
Then, perhaps we would better know ourselves, know each other, and our place in the Multi-verse - perhaps, even after death long after the Universes have dissipated into nothingness.

about me
We are an intelligent, professional, creative New York City couple, who have been happily married for 22 years - together for 27 - with one wonderful son in college.
We love diversity. We learn from it. It adds to our creativity, intelligence and uniqueness.
We tend to be attracted to the beautiful, the intelligent, the caregivers, creatives, professionals, and those, who are down to earth, who are just a lot of fun.
