Being behind a camera, in front of the camera, is my own little deconstructionist niche.

I tried to keep both arts alive, but the camera won. I found that while the camera does not express the soul, perhaps a photograph can!

Today my passion is still black and white. Today if I have an array of cameras in front of me the one I would reach for that I would feel most comfortable with would be a 4 X 5 View camera. I was once working in a sort of soft light situation.

They both go together; you can't be in front of the camera hosting a fitness television show in front of 75 million households and not have trained 6 days per week year round - in a bikini no less.
Look At the Globalness of It
The war on drugs?
Of course it is working!
It's the most competitive united front,
That is working.
And successful too.
You're looking at its legality.
With a belief it will be cleaned off local
City streets.
Broaden your perception.
Look at the globalness of it!
In fact...
It's probably the only thing that is working.

With The Only Key
In front of the donkey,
In front of the monkey,
And with the only key in hand!
But, the camera crew came over.
Sign of direction,
Sign of welcome,
taken out with special effects! !
But, the full scene was all about your love.

Smile For The Camera
I see you standing out there in the hall
You seem so nervous waiting for his call
I focus on you
I reach for the lens
The shutter snaps again
(smile)
Smile for the camera
You know
(smile)
The camera never ever lies
Ive been watching you with
Eager hungry eyes
For sometime
(smile)
I hold my lens in the middle of the night
Visions of you dancing in the strobe light
Up on my wall is a picture or two
Of someone who looks like you
(smile)
Smile for the camera
You know
(smile)
The camera is my wide lens
(smile)
You know the camera is my private eye
I got color transparencies
I got black and white
(smile)
Smile for the camera
You know that
(smile)
Cameras never ever lies
(smile)
Ive been watching you with telephoto eyes
For some time
(smile)
Smile for me
(come on)
Smile for me
(come on)
Smile for me
(come on)
Smile for me
(come on)
Smile for me
(come on)
Smile for me
(come on)

Survival
Ill survive you, I will survive you
Well, its too late, I know, to change the way we go
From this day on I want to stay on
Now that Ive started learning
And the tides started turning
Well, its here I want to stay
Ill let the moon announce my arrival
To every eye that cares to see
Just working on the art of survival
Where do we go from here, where do we go from here
Im alive here, I can survive dear
Though the weather might change
From the wind to the rain
Well, my heart remains the same
Ill let the moon announce my arrival
To every eye that cares to see
Just working on the art of survival
Where do we go from here, where do we go from here
Looked out on a sea of trouble
And I tried to stall for awhile
Its so hard to answer every question
And its hard to protect your heart anymore
Ill let the moon announce my arrival (I am alive)
To every eye that cares to see
Just working on the art of survival (but I wonder)
Where do we go from here
Ill let the moon announce my arrival (I am alive)
To every eye that cares to see
Just working on the art of survival (but I wonder)
Where do we go from here
Ill let the moon announce my arrival (I am alive)
To every eye that cares to see
Just working on the art of survival (but I wonder)
Where do we go from here ...

Be, Here, Now
‘The camera does not lie’;
yet the truth rests in yourself..
Here’s this photo of one, said
by those who know, to be a saint;
(no one to say smile now please;
no one to say just say cheese..)
here is one who knows that all and everything
is God; so looks into the camera and beyond
and at all of us, and at all of all of us
as God; in goodwill; Godwill;
looking Lordward to the Lord in you and me.
Who can value such a photoed shakti..
shower of grace in just one smile
from one who gives all of himself,
to the camera as the God in us; ‘developed’, multiplied
towards infinity, and rolled around a printing press,
flashed in binary upon computer screen.
We as we look at it become all truth
and like the camera, cannot lie
about ourself: we are perfection.
Before the camera was,
I AM. click.

Another Candle in the Wind
You were a star that never real got to shine.
That left a little star behind.
Your life was a roller coaster ride.
And your beauty in front of the camera the real you the camera did hide.
A life filled with laughter and tears.
Now we will never know your dreams or your fears.
The media called you Anna Nicole but your real name was Vicki Lynn. Gone way to soon another candle on the wind.
If they're working in a workshop somewhere, where there is, let's say, uh... only twenty people, or something like that, that's still, when they work and do a scene, that's still working in front of somebody.

Working Girls
Working girls dont stand a chance
Typing pools are full deadly fish
Office romeos believe
Dictation is the statutory dish
Do they want you for your body
When you wanna use your mind
Every day its hustle hustle
But youre not the pushy kind
You worry and wonder when he calls you at five
Youve got to work late will you get out alive
You know what hes after its always the same
And soon youll be playing the cat and mouse game
Working girls they dress to kill
Posing for some glossy magazine
You know the flashman wants an exposure
But your momma says you gotta keep it clean
Still youre selling with your body
And the camera never lies
Every shot is more revealing
As your inhibitions die
He asks you to stay but you want to decline
He leers as he opens another bottle of wine
Dont want to offend him your ticket to fame
So you play by the rules
Its a cat and mouse game
Working girls are lost in dreams
Buried in a paperback romance
Why dont you wake up to reality
And watch those fingers at the office dance
When youre struggling with your figures
Is he studying your form?
Theres a silence in the boardroom
Its the calm before the storm
You wanna go home its been a long day
The streets are so crowded and you must get away
Youll be back tomorrow
Hell call out your name
Its business as usual
The cat and mouse game
Working girls
Working girls
Working girls
