  • CHASING BUTTERFLIES WITH PRINCE

    Last week, we went to a butterfly conservatory. As we waited in line for tickets, I felt Prince grab onto my hand and smile delightfully. He had the look of childlike glee in his eyes. Beaming with excitement. It was so cute. His sweetness was emanating. He was wearing a suit in a shade of purple that was like a neon light, paired with a matching hat, in typical Prince style. I wanted to photograph the butterflies as much as I could. But it is a challenge. The place was busy with families enjoying the last days of summer vacation. This energy excited the butterflies, and they fluttered quickly around the place. I consider myself lucky that I got these two photos at all!

    I have a friend who is brilliant at getting butterflies to land on her hand. I would notice the children there holding out a butterfly in their hands. I wished very much that a butterfly would land on my hand. But my attempts did not work. Finally, as I photographed a child that had one on her hand, she asked, “do you want it?” And she passed it onto me.  I was surprised and delighted.

    Butterflies have been a symbol that we used in the begining  to communicate with each other when I asked for signs from him to confirm things. It reminds me of a line from his song, LoveSexy, “I know that heaven’s a butterfly kiss away”.

    Later in the day, I saw a purple car parked in a mall parking lot, and I smiled, because I knew it ws a sign from him. I had asked to see a purple car earlier that day.

  • PRINCE TALKED ABOUT CHEMTRAILS – PHOTOS OF THE CHEMTRAIL CLOUDS

    A couple years ago, I starting noticing the strange cloud formations that were covering our skies. First the lines in the sky, then these strange formations that looked like cotton balls. If you observe carefully, you will notice a sort of line pattern in the photos below. These clouds are created using a secret technology called HAARP, where they use scaler waves to activate these chemtrail clouds. This is a form of geo-engineering, as these clouds will result in unnatural weather conditions.

    This summer, I have noticed more frequent chemtrail spraying in the skies here in Toronto. As soon as there are clear blue skies, it is not long before the lines start forming in the sky and by early evening, we will have full cloud coverage. The next day, it will rain. When you start paying attention to such things, the weather becomes somewhat predictable just by looking at the clouds.

    Last year I was photographing the chemtrails at sunset in Lavaux, and I noticed that the lines would appear to be moving and growing. I was confused and not quite sure of this, until in the last month or so, while I was working outside in the garden, standing in one place for a good half hour, I observed the lines in the sky moving and growing. The lines itself had shifted from one part of the sky to another. And then there was a sudden rainstorm that came in once the sky was covered in clouds. This is clearly evident that they are not contrails coming from planes, because exhaust fumes would not be able to stay up in the sky like that.

    This extra rain this summer, has been responsible for unusual flooding and sudden shifts in temperatures.

    It is bad enough that they are manipulating the weather, but what they are spraying in the skies are toxic chemicals that land everywhere, in the water and land. People who are concerned have been getting their garden soil tested and the results are showing quantities of barium, aluminium, and many other elements that are not naturally occurring, and do not belong there.

    This is a major problem that no government to being a part of, and no mainstream media is reporting. If you think these clouds are normal, then you really don’t know clouds, my friend. Start paying attention, and you will notice the thing I am talking about here.

    Prince spoke about chemtrails in his interview on Tavis Smiley in 2009. Here the clip of it. The song he is asked about is called Dreamer, and I did a post about that song here.

  • LIFE ADVICE FROM A LEGALLY BLIND ARTIST

    I think the number one things people are curious about, when they find out about my visual disability is, “What can you see?” I would say that it is like having blurry vision all the time. Even though I can have glasses, they only help a tiny bit, so I rather not wear them at all.  I was diagnosed as a teenager for Stargardt disease, a genetic condition affecting the retina. Despite all this, I’ve always been creative and visually inclined. It has affected my life in different ways, especially in the area of career. When I was younger, I was advised to seek a career direction that would maybe be considered “easier”. While I did consider tis advice, I did not agree. Life is not about being easier. Life is about being who you are. And what I am, is an artist. My challenges and differences are a part of who I am. And I do not run away from them.

    During my trip to Europe last year, I experimented with manual focus to try and create a representation of what it’s like to see through my eyes. I can’t say it’s 100 percent true to what my vision is like. It’s still an artistic representation. But it’s somewhat accurate, in that my vision is blurred and I can still make out what things are. I’ve put together a video with an audio clip of an interview I did with Lauren Herrera. If you’d like to listen to the entire interview, click here.
