Milena's Studio Visit 

It’s all starting to feel a bit too much. Flickr, Ipernity, Zivity, Facebook, my blog, my website, YouTube, DailyMotion… where, when will it end? The Internet is such an avalanche of information constantly coming at me and at the same time always beckoning for more content. As a content provider, I have been working hard to create images with praise as the only reward. God knows I have been getting a whole lot of that. More than I have ever imagined that I would. But I have grown tired. The rewards are fulfilling, emotionally, but as an artist, I find that I need greater validation. Perhaps financial reward, of which I see very little through this venue. Thank God for the graphic design career. It is what provides for sustenance. But I also feel responsibility to express myself and to put out a message that I feel is needed in this world of ours. To offer yet another voice that speaks to the conscience of humanity. To strive for the betterment of all. I believe this is the primary responsibility of the artist of today. So I go on to produce and present and exhibit.


I was interviewed for Magic Places Fine Art on-line photography magazine. I invite you to read the article.
