Jonk-Q Mosileeleelee (JQM) has always had a deep respect for words and their place in the cosmos. But it is images that really make his brow crust over with sea salt. And so, in between the cannery, the ranch, the sea, the dream state and other outgrowths of consciousness, JQM has always enjoyed taking photographs. To be clear, JQM does not share his photographs because he thinks they are any good. No, he shares them because he finds talking about them to be insufferable. And because people ask. And because because. JQM has always been fond of answering questions with because because.

Self portrait of JQM trying to escape a rabid pack of bureaucrats

Man in a cowboy hat staring hard into JQM's moral center

No matter how he looked at it, it didn't care

Chuck meet Mary. Mary meet Chuck.

JQM eating and thinking about peaches over a very peachy sunset

A road that JQM wondered if he should be on

JQM has always been partial to the intersection of dark snow and blue skies

Flowers at Pine Creek, blowing in the sun, whispering gentle yellowness

Cave at the ridgeline of JQM's childhood

A hatch on a grassy knoll that reminded JQM to consider everything

JQM has always sought out conversations with folks quite different from himself

Every once in a while a mountain develops incisors

View from both the inside and outside

Shadow lines in the spirit of Nietzsche or Freud, he couldn't quite tell

At some point in JQM's life, he became a Ford man, and this was the drive home from the dealer

A half pipe JQM shredded on his way to transcendence

JQM has often defended turkey burgers against charge of wimpiness with a meal like this

Late October, the leaves appeared social and interested

Perhaps the only drawing JQM ever truly considered titling

Barrel-aged imperial stout suggesting aardarks, bananas and w's in equal measure

The desire to live long and prosper is not unique to Vulcans

JQM has been to known to kick up his heels to a little country when the mood is right

Bearded man humming a tune deep inside the earth's crust

Perhaps the clearest statement on the ethics of war that JQM has ever encountered
