  • A life in addictions: alcohol

    Initially it was my intention to start my series of articles about addictions with the addiction to alcohol because it is such important one in my family and such a persistent and insidious habit overall. Unlike smoking, the consumption of alcohol is still widely accepted and even seen as a welcome act. There are many…

  • Imagine Nations 2: Sil Brandi

    I thought I add a small picture of the entrance to the gallery. Actually there are two, but this one is pretty, don’t you think? The next three images are made by Sil Brandi. If I am not mistaken these are Second Life avatars, but the imagery has been changed so it has gotten a…

  • Henry and Kristl have a brush with The last stand (2013)

    “That was an explosive movie.” Henry gave Kristl a broad smile knowing full well from her face where this review was heading, “Never mind about the plot holes and the lack of anything that resembles a coherent plausible story, but that is the beauty of the thing. Bang away!” “Is it me or has scrip…

  • Imagine Nations 1: Thea Maiman

    I once visited a gallery named Bohemia Eclectic Gallery and  I made a few post about works that were exhibited there that I liked.  One of the artist, Meryll Panthar gave me a  link to another gallery called Imagine Nations Photo Gallery and Studios . Imagine Nations is really a big place. It not only consist…

  • Henry and Kristl are awed by The Great Dictator.

    “Chaplin’s masterpiece?” Henry asked. “Uh. Modern Times is a good movie too. There are also others. Like The tramp and I belief…eh” “City Lights?” “That one.” “The Kid?” “Oh.. I guess.” “Figured an commie like you would name Modern Times.” Henry smiled. “Eh?” “You mentioned Modern Times. A commie would like it. The movie is…

  • Losing feathers

    I imagined a tree. When it was young it grew rapidly into a tall tree with a wide trunk, thick bark and so many luscious dark-green leaves that our whole family could sit in its shade when the sun was at it’s most merciless during the heat of the summers day. I imagined the tree.…

  • Henry and Kristl trembled before Stalin (1992)

    “This Stalin was not a very nice dude.”  Henry remarked. He was having a bud, because he always had budweiser in his fridge, which was  a huge red contraption from the firm Northstar that was a remake of those older refrigerators from the fifties. Kristl might have also had a bud, but then she felt…

  • Signs of life: the last voyage

    She caught my attention because she was so there: standing tall with her arms folded in front of her chest and her defiant gaze that seemed to say to everyone around her: ‘I dare you, I dare you  to say something about it, I  dare you to assume; dare to conclude, to judge’. He was…
