Wow, you are a great photographer! I love "War and Peace" and the One of the old man. Your images are very moving. Funny, I really don't know that much about surrealism. I just paint my visions I see while dreaming at night. I wake up and do a thumbnail sketch so I won't forget it. But What I saw of what you did, is very nice. I like the woman with the rose head, and especially the death Awe one. I like the garidan angel thought in that one. Keep up the wonderful work you do. - Linda

Well thank you very much. I like your comment on your image entered. So many people I think sit by and wait for goverment to handle things when we can do our own part in helping. I have a friend who makes me want to pull my hear out. She will not recycle her garbage.

You know it's strange. I have the habit of not littering and I am finding that living eco friendly is incredibly easy.
Just recently My girlfriend her friend and I Have stopped using paper towels and just use rags and towels now. It's a bit like using cloth diapers you can re-use instead of recycling. Which I think is a bit better in the long run anyways.
I normally would argue against recycling based on an episode of Penn and Teller's Bullshit! But it's a personal decision you know? It is based on consequences and having a conscience. It also keeps your garbage from flowing over multiple times a week if you have a bin for recycalables.

It was called "Sand something". I remember that it was written by Robert Silverberg... I think. I am going to google it.
Got it. It was also an Outer Limits Episode.
THE SANDKINGS
Simon Kress (Beau Bridges) is a brilliant scientist who has painstakingly nurtured a highly classified project at a government-run research facility. This top-secret endeavor involves incubating eggs taken from Martian soil samples. Simon calls the creatures "Sandkings," and when one of them nearly escapes from the secure facility, the project is shut down. Even though the government facility is finished with the Sandkings, Simon's obsession is just beginning.
With the project ending, the scientist is forced to come up with a way to continue the project on his own. After stealing some of the eggs, Simon sets up a private laboratory in his barn. As the project progresses and the Sandkings begin to show some intelligence, Simon begins losing touch with the real world, alienating his family and overspending for supplies.
Overnight, the Sandkings build elaborate castles, form colonies, and construct their own rules for their new society. As Simon becomes even more fanatic, he enlists his son Josh (Dylan Bridges) to help chronicle the growth on videotape. The real tragedy starts when Josh loses the dog his grandfather, Colonel Kress (Lloyd Bridges), gave him. The dog is the Sandkings' first victim.
