I am hearing reports that Michael Jackson has died... while this is certainly news in and of itself... it also forces me to look back at my youth... as a grade-schooler jamming out to Thriller... and as an adult watching his image decay over the years...
This is why I love and live art... be it photography, traditional, digital, music, film, poetry and literature...the impressions and ideas and expressions from art last longer than any mortal coil...art itself becomes the body and soul of humanity...

Take care....
