Photographer, Digital Artist Blair Stuart W/NEW #Poetry “A Maverick” & Santana’s “Europa” #MusicVideo
Image_0586 Sunset_Pindimar on the Central Coast of New South Wales


 (1)Introduction:
My featured guest this Sunday evening is a brilliant inspirational artist, photographer and poet. He is an enigma, rustic, individual, honest, decent, caring man.  This is strictly my literal impression and personal point of view gather from interactions on G+. I met him in the #Circle Queen Community and have made a humbly attempted to represent him in a #poem titled “A Maverick”. 


The music selection accompaniment is Santana’s “Europa”(8) uploaded on YouTube in 2008.

So, without further ado, let me introduce Blair Stuart, Entrepreneur, Independent Freelance Photographer and Digital Visual Artist. 
He cares about folks struggling to be noticed in this electronic driven, social media influencing, bite map world around us.Blair Stuart (2) Let me quote him “I am only too well aware of and understand the frustrations and the constant struggle faced by all independents; be they Artists, Authors, Photographers, Poets, Musicians, or Sculptors, to be discovered for the talent that we are. We sit outside of the Commercial mainstream and are, for all intents and purposes, ignored by them. I set up this site to provide a platform for the promotion of not only my own work, but the work of other International and Australian Independents; a platform from which to connect with and to a World Wide audience”.

Blair is the owner operator of Stuart Media Services with a simple objective and that is to promote his work, and the works of featured Artists, Photographers, Musicians, Authors and small Businesses to the world.

Image_121 Murray River, at Christies Beach

 (4)A Maverick
As water flows into time, my humanity propels illimitable and honest,
Not lost! It’s complicated, an enigma, between custom and thirst.
The wind’s my mistress; transfixing depths of existence hurled into a pause,
For I pursue finite beauty with a lens, resolute in this quest but never resolved.

I am a man that walks a path bequeathed with honor and dignity,
A truth akin to surges from an ocean controlled by the anger in wind,
Centered in my frame and carrying it bearing no disrepute,
Yet there’s that wrinkle, a wanton speck in tenderness, moot.

Alike a smoothed bolder splitting the natural flow in a stream,
Or a lengthy journey commenced awaiting its symmetry.
Not the complete man, a tersely fragment lodged in my soul,
And at times between a blink it leaves me bare and cold.

I shake my head to mend this painful silliness that seems to append,
And focus on the grace of life in the now, irrespective to the journey’s end.
Distinctive and rebellious, perceptions tend to bring,
For I allude to an unorthodox merit of being a maverick among men.

Peace Always Diana

4.)    Photograph: Image 121 was taken from the bank of the Murray River, at Christies Beach near Echuca on the Victorian / New South Wales border.  This was shot in the early morning, the mist still over the river.  I like this one because it has a real painterly feel about it. www.stuartmediaservices.com

6.)     Photograph: Image _0118   is a Digital Art creation.  The original image was captured at the Mita Mita River in the Victorian High Country.  The image was shot in the early morning and the scene that presented was one that to me was purely mystical and bought forward images of faeries and the little folk.  I used a number of editing programmes to enhance and bring out the feel that I hope this image is able to convey to the viewer. www.stuartmediaservices.com
7.)   Photograph: Image _0335 is another compilation; I have used four different images to create this one.  The final creation has also been given a HDR treatment as a final enhancement.  I have a love of Tall ships and all things of a sea theme. www.stuartmediaservices.com

+Roan Scott +William Rodriguez  thank for taking to time out in your busy sunday evening to check out this post

Blair Stuart
Hello +Rusty Rimes, I thank you for sharing this post from +Diana Mary Sharpton, though I am somewhat bemused by the Title description that you have given to it... "There are no more Mavericks among men only Geldings" ...
I would be interested to understand your justification in making such a statement, for to me it is simply a generalisation without substance in and of itself. If your belief is based solely on the post by Diana and is meant to refer to myself then it is a laughable assertion, for you do not know me, nor have you taken the time to get to know me. 

However If, as I suspect, it is a statement about your experiences with men in general, then again I would say that it would not stand in the light of day. 
You have made a generalised statement, branding us all as Geldings, yet the truth is that you know only a handful, some of whom may well have been, metaphorically speaking, Gelded. 

Let me assure you +Rusty Rimes, that I am not one of those and I do take umbrage at any assertion that I am.

You most assuredly are entitled to your viewpoint and I accept your right to express it, however perhaps you should consider the impact of your words on others, before expressing them in a public forum.
Expressing them on two occasions, as you have done in this repost and in the original post by +Diana Mary Sharpton is inappropriate in my humble opinion and disrespects Diana.

If you have been disappointed by the males you have come across that is both sad and unfortunate, but please do not let it blind you to the many men, who are Real Men in the true sense of the word.

Blair Stuart
Ty +Jen Smith ++Roan Scott +William Rodriguez

Rusty Rimes
+Blair Stuart My statement is a condemnation of how society now punishes men for being men, where bravado is disdained. So as a society we have been metaphorically castrated making us societal geldings.

Blair Stuart
Thank you for the explanation +Rusty Rimes. In that statement there is indeed an element of truth. 
However it is only so because some, not all, Males have to a degree allowed / accepted that viewpoint. I for one, do not nor will I ever accept such. 
I have little care or concern for the opinions of Society in general, as most of these so called opinions are fostered upon us by the Mainstream Media. 
I take no heed of anything that the MSM has to offer or say. I am an individual, I form my own opinions based on my own beliefs and life experiences. I do not subscribe to generalisations or Societal based beliefs.
I will however stand by my original comment, in that I believe that placement of this particular viewpoint of yours, into the post by +Diana Mary Sharpton, to be both inappropriate and disrespectful. 

There is a time and a place for such comments and perhaps it would have been more effective as a separate post in which to raise the issue of how Society, in your opinion, has metaphorically castrated men and now punishes Men for being Men.

+Blair Stuart I was one of the punished, it has gelded me from ways of youth. I am glad you can understand, for I have some sorrow for times of old.
