Watching the world go by.

I have this weird idea. Small business can change the world one dollar at a time. Indeed, it might be the only way to change the world, that change comes from the middle of the village. Onward.

The World’s Best Uncle When getting older, If you can’t laugh at yourself, you’re hosed. After 50, especially for men, you need to get younger if you want to grow up. See with fresh eyes. Ask silly questions. Let shame go and play.... This is my brother, with my daughters, asking the question, what if you shot up my nose? What and how far would you see? Live. Love. Laugh. Repeat. If you want a reminder to laugh at yourself, and/or want to support my work, this print is for sale at www.mikeadamsart.com. Be well.

Mt. Boney Fields - my latest work This is in the Santa Monica Mountains, at its western edge, in Newbury Park, near Reino and Wendy. It’s an area that, it seems, is on fire, in ashes, or in renewal, life blooming from the ashes. Remind you of anyone?

Nothing inspires me more than an elderly person that is still a child. It’s easy to lose a beginner’s mind. Been there; done that. I know that. I’ve been around the block. The same shit different day mindset grows like a cancer. You need more likes, a new car, a new job... to feel alive. The need grows. The feeling alive shrivels.... Being alive like a child is an act of rebellion. Art is, I think, part of that rebellion. Slow down. Appreciate beauty. Create your masterpiece, like an elderly person that is still a child. PS - You can find this print and other art that helps you feel alive at www.mikeadamsart.com. Be well. #streetphotography #bwstreet #fineart #fineartphotography #streetphotobw #bw #bnw #art #liveyourlife #huntingtonlibrary #pasadena

There’s something about frames and silhouettes that gets our attention, that base shapes and forms are close to the center of our being, that having less detail is a more accurate picture of who we really are. #streetphoto #streetphoto_bnw #bw #bnw #streetphotography #silhouette #abstract #abstractphotography #coffeeshop #ventura #downtownventura #palermocoffee

I’m lucky to live in the land of rolling hills, even luckier that the ocean is on the other side. I took this while traveling down the 101 through Agoura and Calabasas, and then painted them as I see them, like the waves that live next door. Enjoy your day. #abstract #abstractlandscape #abstractpainting #landscapephotography #landscape #agourahills #agoura #calabasas #fineart #fineartpainting #fineartphotography

Had fun photographing a Golden Jubilee for Sister Lisa and 4 other nuns. 50 years is a long time, especially for anything that includes celibacy. I admire the commitment to live their inner life on the outside, and it’s a great reminder for each of us to do the same, each in our own way. #eventphotography #eventphotographer #documentary #documentaryphotography #streetphoto #streetphotography #bwstreet #streetphoto_bnw
