In my mind the story has evolved in to the journey of Andrew J Twyman going after the idea of a band of beings attempting to make it to the promised land one way or another. Going around as a humble group spreading the simplistic message of Love. As a story teller I was reminded and shown a message of Love within the Balance found inside the artistic life, and Andy felt it in his Heart and saw it through his cameras. Existing inside is a vast array of fun loving young hearted people, from all walks of life. Hard work and determination keeps their kind of balancing boat afloat, destination "Paradise". Yet the blinding Light of Love can some times obstruct one from seeing all the snares set on the pathway forward. Dragging torn traps all the way to the wide winding river separating the Kingdom from the rest of us, where attempts to cross are met with some sort of reality. To have all that weight upon one surly allows the possibility of drowning, and drowning could just become the means to some sort of an end... For the currents pull on all elements a Human Heart brings with them.
As Andy snapped away his 35mm, wide angle fish eye, and medium format photos I was personally reminded of the creative toile within the photographers choice in Lighting and how the thought could confuse an artist, some times allowing them to forgetting such things like the Light hidden by our hard harsh Sun. Through the understanding of sacrifice and in acknowledgment of all the ones gone by the hand of ignorance, underneath it, lays a deep belief of What Has Been Done Thus Far... And in the Light of Love we have all started dancing, transforming pleasures into enlightenment, gathering and dissolving the inner winds. Having all ropes and snares and even garments burnt off as we draw nearer and further up the road that leads Home …And Once we stand naked in our selves, naked to the Infinity that is God, We find that the swim across becomes a labor of Love. Love for the beginning, Love for love, Love to give more of just that which is Love… on the Path and in Fruition, Stowaway.
Love,
AAM
