I'm passionate about the fact that this world that we live on is a stunningly beautiful place we have despoiled at every level.

With multimedia, everything blurs. Software takes the concept of the imagination and makes it something you can edit, tweak, and transform with digital techniques. Everything becomes an edited file.

Don't lose a diamond while chasing glitter honey

So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don't even know that fire is hot.
