What’s in a picture?

A picture’s worth a thou­sand words. Behind gifted eyes, is a vision, a gen­tle whis­per from the heart, an artist’s soul. Like the deaf­en­ing silence in a vibrant dream,

…every pic­ture tells a story with a dif­fer­ent point of view.

Hard to come by

Some work get pub­lished, most aren’t. Some made it, most didn’t. For those who are pas­sion­ate, strong & per­sis­tent enough will even­tu­ally makes it, one way or the other.

Time is not the X factor.

In extreme cases, some of us made it ear­lier than oth­ers; by made it, I’m talk­ing about one person’s abil­ity to deeply under­stand one sub­ject of activity–like a hobby, spent a great deal of time walk­ing, run­ning, eat­ing, sleep­ing & dream­ing about it, and at some point of his life the eureka moment comes and he started excelling on it. Some shall made a big mate­r­ial for­tune off it, but that one of a true artist, one that truly excels and ‘enlight­ened’ on that sub­ject mat­ter change other people’s live… shar­ing the knowl­edge while con­tinue breath­ing & liv­ing with that path.

Money is not the X factor.

Joey L–as he prefers to be called, is that extreme case of this rare tal­ent that touches people’s life while acquir­ing the great­est for­tune of life money can’t buy — the knowl­edge & his path of love.

He is in his early twenties–as of this writ­ing, with a body of work hard to come by at such a del­i­cate age. He dis­cov­ered his true pas­sion early, picked up the tricks along the way and the world opens up to him. The work that fol­lows are the prod­uct of his love, one that has a com­mon qual­ity of divin­ity, with beauty so pro­found that will cre­ate a uni­ver­sal bridge that takes us to his play­ground dur­ing that infi­nite sec­onds of wit­ness­ing beauty.

Passion is truth.

I am truly happy to have dis­cov­ered him, I hope he touches your heart like he did mine. The image below will take you to a blog post where his select images are curated by the fine folks of The Graphic Exchange Project, but more trea­sure should be found at his per­sonal web­site JoeyL.com and his Learn-from-Joey video series.

True beauty inspires. Those who knows how to lis­ten shall learn & prosper.
