Instead, we as human race and our surrounding nature of this planet are one in the same. The planet is in danger means 'we' are in danger.We affect the environment as the environment directly affect our lives. It is a symbiotic relationship we have with this planet.Saving this planet's future = not only saving our own future but also the future of coming generations.'We = the Earth'

Long Island Climate ActionNetwork, a program offered by Renewable Energy Long Island, is a grassroots campaign to reduce the threat of global warming through individual and community-wide action. LI-CAN offers speakers, speaker training, and leaders for Local Action Networks. Local Action Networks (LANs) consist of individuals who want to lower their impact on climate change by reducing their carbon footprint (by using David Gershon's book 'Low CARBon Diet') and spreading the word to others. Participants in LANs also work together on a larger project to help their offices, schools, or communities make improvements to lower carbon emissions. LI-CAN promotes the perspective that global warming is a big problem, but that each individual has the ability to make a difference by taking action in their own home and uniting together with others to take on larger, community-wide problems.

This image, as with all images in this series, is meant to show the personality of a specific person. There is a saying that the eyes are the window to the soul. With that in mind, I began taking a series of photos of the person's eyes and simply combine the most expressive with several images that I feel represent the personality best. The final piece is what you see here.

Several years ago I took a painting class where we had to create x amount of paintings. Well, I really got into it and during classes, I'd go into my own little world. I finished all the assigned paintings early, so the professor brought in this armadillo skeleton, which, i think was meant to keep me busy for a while. Instead, I tried something new. Instead of painting the entire thing, as is, I tried something new for me. I experimented with a new idea, a new style. What you see here is the final image. People who see it, either love it's oddity, or hate it for the same reason. Whether this is a successful piece or not, it led me to further experiment and create this collage like style.
