Something I don't often talk about but firmly believe is that art plays a very important role in society, no matter what that society is. Art, of any form, is everywhere we look. Regardless of social class, ethnicity, geography, there is always a form of art or three that we as individuals can relate to.

Art can be a great tool for bridging social and political divides if we take the time to look at it, listen to it, and hear the message the artist is trying to express.

Personally, while I'm a fan of multiple forms of art, my favorite is probably photography. I've dabbled in it myself a little, but more importantly I have a great appreciation of anyone who can look through a tiny little hole in a camera and see something beautiful.

So as part of this site, I'm going to begin featuring various pieces of art that I find both beautiful and meaningful. Sometimes this will be political art, other times landscape photography, and once in a while maybe even erotic art. Whatever it is that I post, the point will be to draw attention to subjects that can help make our planet earth a better community.

Expect the first such post either later today or tomorrow.
