Children of Afghanistan
Posted by J. Quigley in 21st Century, Afghanistan, Children on May 24, 2011
This photo was taken a mile away from the Tajikistan border by a family member. It is a very beautiful area of Afghanistan that has been visited by only a handful of Americans. These children are very beautiful, and I wanted to share this. It was taken about 1 day ago. There is so much beauty in the world that gets overlooked.

I tried doing them by hand, but I find it easier to use a screen. This way I don’t have to work on my objects at all. One of my assistants, or anyone else for that matter, can reproduce the design as well as I could. – Andy Warhol

Physicist Richard Feynman Uncredited and Undated Photograph
Some people say, ‘How can you live without knowing?’ I do not know what they mean. I always live without knowing. That is easy. How you get to know is what I want to know. Richard Feynman, “The Meaning of It All,” posthumously published, 1999

Angel of Debt
This is a detail of one of my works in progress. It is oil on canvas, and the finished piece will be 4′ x 4′. This is an affirmation of getting back into the creative world, rather than spending too much time on the internet!
