Where does your "stuff" come from?

Ethical, green, fairtrade, organic, local, sustainable, eco... We have arrived at the farcical situation where posessing an eco-conscious is used as a weapon against us... in an effort to flog us, yet more, stuff.

If, like me, you're bamboozled by endless jargon you'll be pleased to find a young company that's happily using the common-speak.

Rapanui cut the crap and let you to trace the history of the stuff you buy. What was the crop, where was it grown, who grew it and why? See what you think...

But just remember fellow time-travellers. The greenest ....... (substitute with anything in this space) is the one you already own. You cannot buy your way into eco-heaven. Yet.

The return to Earth.

In many animistic world views found in hunter-gatherer cultures, the human being is often regarded as on a roughly equal footing with other animals, plants, and natural forces.

Revisitation.





Looking back through old photos i've come to the conclusion I prefer them over the new.

The problem with evolution is you can rarely plan where you end up.

~~ As usual if you can click on the photo you'll be launched to Flickr.

The Wayfarer.




Or. When memories go bad.

If you don't know the Bosch painting by the same name, do look at this... This chap seems torn between the good earthly life and one of spiralling lust. I don't know about you but I can empathise with that.
