TIA PSYCHEOGRAPHY 47 images Created 23 Jul 2016

"This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears...
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head..."
-- Annie Lennox, "Why" (1991)


This gallery is dedicated to the ideas and thoughts roaming through my mind. They do not fall under any specific theme or category, so they are fairly random and eccentric. Essentially, these images illustrate the often undefinable contents of what's racing around in my head (hence the name of this gallery).

I love music from all eras, so some of these photos may be inspired by the title of a song (that you may or may not recognize), or a significant, resonating song lyric that I felt I could illustrate via photography.

Other images might be reflective of current affairs, or popular culture, or just a thought that has been in my head for several years and never expressed.

None of these images are intended to overtly offend the viewer by any means. In fact, a sense of humor is highly recommended for a few of the images showcased here.

However, if the images and their content enlightens, evokes a chuckle, broadens one's own perspective, or questions a topic that should indeed be questioned, then the purpose of this gallery has been achieved.

Please check back every so often to see what's on my mind.

you never knew.<br />

Right beside you, I'll be<br />
Right beside you, always..."

  • "You can reach me by railway, <br />
You can reach me by trailway.<br />
You can reach me on an airplane, <br />
You can reach me with your mind.<br />
<br />
You can reach me by caravan, <br />
Cross the desert like an Arab man.<br />
I don't care how you get here, <br />
Just get here if you can..."<br />
<br />
Personal message:<br />
<br />
I'm so tired of the intense hatred human beings display to each other for reasons that I believe could be resolved with patience, empathy, and respectful attention. Resolving conflict with missiles, bombs, and weapons of mass destruction is anathema to me, and makes me ashamed to be a human being. I'm so tired of it, yet I strive to think of resolutions, knowing people will rarely listen to reason. I hope I am wrong, but I am the most doubtful person I know.
    Get Here
  • "No no no no no no<br />
It motivates me more and more<br />
And I think it's time you know<br />
You're giving me something to look forward<br />
And I can't wait for the day<br />
I can rub things in your face<br />
I ain't gon' stop till I'm done<br />
I've reached the top, I'm Number One<br />
But every time you try and tell me no<br />
It only makes me keep on keeping on..."
    Tell Me No
  • "California here I come<br />
Open up your golden arms<br />
I had enough of the New York City slums<br />
My brother he went before me<br />
My God watch over me<br />
California here I come.<br />
<br />
California I'll be there<br />
Let me fall into your hair<br />
I won't be guilty for my New York City care<br />
My sister come along with me<br />
Our God is offering our share<br />
California I'll be there..."
    California Here I Come
  • "Shut up and put your money <br />
where your mouth is<br />
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas<br />
Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes, now<br />
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas.<br />
<br />
You got me into this<br />
Information overload, situation lost control<br />
Send out an S.O.S.<br />
And get some cash out<br />
We're gonna tear up the town.<br />
<br />
Don't be a baby<br />
Remember what you told me..."
    Waking Up in Vegas
  • This is the ONLY place in the world where I would ever dare pose like this -- where there's nothing but desert and air.<br />
<br />
(Fortunately, it's not a completely embarrassing photograph).
    Desert Poseur
  • I didn't take this photo.  The tour guide offered to take photos for visitors. The temperature was 110ºF (45ºC) that day. When I handed him my camera, I did not realize he had taken some shots of me while I was walking to a place to pose.  I didn't discover this revelation until I reviewed my photos after I had returned to the States.  <br />
<br />
I like these kinds of photos because I never know what people see when they look at me. They are extremely rare, unplanned, candid portrayals of my demeanor. The tour guide, I  suppose, captured me in a moment of which I, myself, was unaware. My thoughts were still engulfed with the human atrocities that occurred over three centuries where I was standing.
    Obvious Oblivious
  • "I don't care if you talk about me<br />
I don't care if you write it out in stone<br />
Whenever I fall, I land on my feet<br />
I don't care, I just don't care now.<br />
<br />
I don't care if you act like a queen<br />
I don't care if you take it out on me<br />
I've got nine lives and I land on my feet<br />
I don't care, I just don't care now..."
    I Don't Care
  • "If you see me walking down the street<br />
And I start to cry each time we meet<br />
Walk on by, walk on by<br />
Make believe<br />
That you don't see the tears<br />
Just let me grieve<br />
In private 'cause each time I see you<br />
I break down and cry<br />
And walk on by<br />
(Don't stop)<br />
And walk on by<br />
(Don't stop)<br />
And walk on by..."
    Walk on By
  • "Funny how I blind myself<br />
I never knew<br />
If I was sometimes played upon<br />
Afraid to lose.<br />
<br />
I'd tell myself what good do you do<br />
Convince myself...<br />
<br />
It's my life<br />
Don't you forget<br />
It's my life<br />
It never ends..."
    It's My Life
  • Suspended in "The Twilight Zone" Ad Infinitum
    "The Twilight Zone"
  • "Jungle life<br />
I'm living in the open<br />
Native beat that carries on<br />
Burning bright<br />
A fire blows the signal to the sky<br />
I sit and wonder, does the message get to you?"
    Tarzan Boy
  • "Early morning, April four<br />
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky<br />
Free at last, they took your life<br />
They could not take your pride..."
    Pride (In the Name of Love)
  • "'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, that's life<br />
Tryna make ends meet<br />
You're a slave to money, then you die<br />
I'll take you down the only road <br />
I've ever been down<br />
You know the one that takes you to the places<br />
Where all the veins meet, yeah.<br />
<br />
No change, I can change<br />
I can change, I can change<br />
But I'm here in my mold<br />
I am here in my mold<br />
But I'm a million different people<br />
From one day to the next<br />
I can't change my mold<br />
No, no, no, no, no<br />
Have you ever been down?"
