Very
early, photography made a tremendous impact on my life. Dad worked for Eastman Kodak -
and some years the Christmas party included a multi-projector travel
slide show. Growing up in the small town of Batesville, Arkansas - it
was amazing to see such well executed images from all around
the world back in the day when photography required specialized skill
in lighting and chemical processes. Seeing all there enthralled with
the photos, I recognized
the power of visual communication and wanted to harness that power. I read everything about photography I got my hands on. and realized photography is expensive and everyone wants to do it, even though few are sucessful. I turned to a 'normal' profession and went to school to become a mechanical engineer. Working at TRW Vehicle Safety Systems - the world's largest manufacturer of seatbelt systems - I learned mechanical engineering was not for me. |
The USMC changes
you permanently . If you have not been there - This fact is beyond
you. If so, - Semper Fi - there is no need
to. While stationed in Okinawa, Japan, I returned to
my first love - got my first 'good' camera, a Vivitar
V2000, and helped financed
a Fuji film plant learning the ropes.
Enrollling in NYI's photography course in {1991}, I learned a lot and by year's end, shot cover assignments for "Okinawa Today", contributed to "Stars and Stripes", and worked as staff photographer on the USO "Exploring Okinawa" tour guide. Spending a great deal of time behind the camera that year, I made a lot of mistakes, but a lot of progress. Read a scanned letter sent home to my brothers from Japan in 1991. The letter mentions some photography goals I accomplished and some goals should not have. One thing mentioned in the letter is a figure photo book. The book was completed Nov. 2008. This book should have NEVER been done and was profane. Sorry Cpl Trujillo and Lcpl Tanner.
I studied Mechanical
engineering, mathematics, and music at
the Univeristy of Arkansas. I studied law while stationed in
Okinawa in a class given by the University of Maryland while fighting
the USMC for a conscientios objector's discharge. I learned
very highly advanced and top secret microwave telecommunications electronics
for two years with
Uncle Sam
and have studied commecial truck driving at Arkansas State University.
I don't know if I use any of this expensive education but may use all of it. Regardless; Misplacing proper memories of my past due to my severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is my most debilitating disability today. Living in Newark, Arkansas, I'm glad much of my photography remains so my grandaughter can eventually enjoy it online safely without using any type filtration on the common carrier for world-wide human communications the reader of this is using now though unsafe today..!
I
have severe brain damage and was
once declared an incompetent by the court. I was not my own 'legal' guardian. My second wife cared for me for about
three years after the wreck evidenced above. After five years and ten
months, we decided to live separately. I appreciated her but can't
remember being married. If we just met, we would probably not even talk.
I once wrote MFA after my name
attempting to return dignity to the three letters generally
thought to mean Master of Fine Art in photography from some University after learning of Michael Peven. No
school anywhere in the United States today is capable of being accredited in photography while
teaching nakedness can be called N_DE and
is not profane when
used "artistically" like Michael Peven does. ALL PUBLIC DISPLAY OF NAKEDNESS IS PROFANE. NO PUBLIC ARTWORK SHOULD EVER BE PROFANE.
Neeley v
5 Federal Communications Commissioners, et al,
(5:14-cv-5135)
can be followed as was allegedly considered but was
ignored
by United States Court for the Western District of
Arkansas thus far. This federal lawsuit demanded laws already passed by Congress be enforced and that
the
Copy[rite] Act of 1790 be recognized as the misspelling of the compound
word made from copy and rite this has always been! This should
have
already been the most impacting litigation EVER done in the history of
humanity. This should have resulted
in recognition of
broadcasting in the wire medium as 47 USC §153 ¶(59)
broadcasting and should have ended the utterly illegal open [sic]
"internet" of pornography broadcasting by Wi-Fi radio and wire to the
unknown public that includes children. Children, Chinese
citizens, and Iranians should have finally be able to communicate
safely
regardless of politics, religion, moral standards, language, or
physical
location. The United
States District Court ruling was dishonorable as were the Eighth Circuit excuse for an appeal. I call all United States Courts dishonorable in docket 14 compared to most courts in Europe and appealed to the Eighth Circuit. U.S. Courts dishonorably protected the existing free "porn-ter-net" even when adult artists attempt to protect children. Email Curtis Neeley I was
once a professional commercial
photographer but now am a
professional nothing! Read the sad details of how this happened HERE. |
