It is not death that a man should fear, it is not begining to live! -Marcus Aurelius

About Me

"I believe that photography is one of the most beautiful forms of self expression... something that cannot be fully expressed, but the constant experimentation of persistent pondering and deep love. The feeling. It gives humanity the taste of self medication, the subtle pleasure of one's inner aberration.

Photography needs an enormous amount of respect and fragile care. It is the profoundness and criticism of the world. It is a small flower, a blade of grass, the waves, a woman, a man, a baby.

It is love. It is pure."

MY DAUGHTER SKYE... SHE'S AN ARIEL WARRIOR... :)



EDDIE VEDDER - Hard Sun Lyrics

When I walk beside her
I am the better man
when i look to leave her
I always stagger back again

Once I built an ivory tower
so I could worship from above
when I climb down to be set free
she took me in again

CHORUS

There’s a big
a big hard sun
beating on the big people
in the big hard world

When she comes to greet me
she is mercy at my feet
I see her inner charm
she just throws it back at me

Once I dug an early grave
to find a better land
she just smiled and laughed at me
and took her rules back again

CHORUS

Once I stood to lose her
and I saw what i had done
bowed down and threw away the hours
of her garden and her sun

So I tried to want her
I turned to see her weep
40 days and 40 nights
and its still coming down on me

CHORUS



I'd like to meet:

My True Self

The Dalai Lama

Former President Bill Clinton

Some of my favorite quotes:

"If the problem can be solved you need not worry about it. If the problem can not be solved, then worrying will have done you no good." -The Dalai Lama

"We must become the change we want to see." -Gandhi

"The greatest voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes,
but in having new eyes." -St. Exupery

"To be brave, you must do what you fear most, courage comes only afterward." -Jerry Avenaim

Bio Excerpt:
A native of Chicago, Jerry Avenaim began his career in photography as first assistant to legendary photographer Patrick Demarchelier. Upon venturing out on his own in 1985, his first assignment was a foreign edition Vogue cover of (then rising star) Cindy Crawford. Basing himself out of Milan, he began to work for Italian Vogue under the direction of Editor in Chief Franca Sozzani.
With an already established fashion career, Avenaim moved to Los Angeles in 1992, where he is now based. Jerry began photographing celebrities and immediately fell in love with the genre. "I love actors and have such a great respect for the craft and it's process." Through the years, he has gained the trust of some of the most strong willed celebrities. In the last decade Avenaim's resume of mega-watt stars reads like a who's who of Hollywood.
Throughout his career Jerry Avenaim's photographs have been seen in almost every major magazine worldwide, including Vogue, GQ, Glamour, Vanity Fair and Newsweek. His list of advertising clients have included, Merle Norman Cosmetics, Phat Farm, Guess, Ford Motor Co., McDonalds, Twentieth Century FOX and Warner Bros.
