ABOUT ME

this is a work in progress!

HI!
Im James Williams! A.K.A JimmyJames. I live in London,Ontario.. STill... (unfortunatly)..Right Now im working and saving money to travel and do what I LOVE TO DO...PHOTOGRAPHY!

Im 23 years old I've lived in the same small city my whole life and to be honest Im bored of it... I want to travel the world and meet new people and share our ideas,thoughts,jokes,experiences,etc.

I work full time as a painter specialzing in heritage restoration..But my true passion is photography...when I was around 5 I was looking at some old pictures of me when i noticed a particular picture of me jumping on one of those air-jumpy-thingys you see at fairs and other festivals, when I noticed some colorfull bluring due to a slow shutter speed. I didn't understand how that was possible.. so my dad bought me a disposible camera and since then its rare to see me on an outing without one :)

PHILOSOPHY

All Life is equal and Precsious
Religions are just different rivers leading to an Ocean. I Think we should concentrate on the simolarities rather than the differences...
We could be all One Infinte Concousness experiencing itself subjectivly. or a virus in a vast universe that does not matter.. WE dont know. I find doubt in all reigions and find comfort in free thinking ideas without fear of the wrath of GOD! I dont know what GOD is, but I do know what "it isn't"I feel mankind has been and will continue to being dumbed down and controlled by a unseen power. using a combination of religion,entertainment,the media,fear,etc. to shape our ideas and opinions about the world and our reality.
If you have faith in a higher power which has is no scientific proof exists, besides in our hearts, Please reserch the overwelming undyinable proof an a secret government succesfuly hiding the truth from us all while completing its own agendas from behind the scenes. i guess thats my religion. yup, im crazy, aren't we all? if im conciouss of my insanity does that make me sane? probably not gonna get along if your super relgious and closed minded.
