This journal is a personal library of images gathered by visual artist Jon-Erik Kroon. This blog is divided into chapters with images as themes. It is a reference tool,a catalyst for starting my drawings, prints, painting, sculpture or the mere love of digital photo documenting. Photo-Ology is my attempt at self publishing a coffee table type photo journal:for the global internet cafe. As a creative soul I choose to celebrate my NEO-PALLETTE with FUJI colour. This is a one of trilogy creation. ©

This is DISTURBING. The dead fish on the skull shows you have no apreciation for the life they once were. It is like at war when the opponent displays dead soldiers bodies on sticks or hung from trees and bridges as a statement of winning.
Well greetings to Mrs or Mr Anonymous.......Hmmmmmmmm .... Disturbing????.....":-0"..........well let me apologize to your mind and soul for my image and found object construction disturbing you......and let me point out, I am exhibiting, as an artist....and you are a "viewer"...a visitor.....to MY exhibition space!
....This e-space is "MY" journal!!!!!
...so if you want to READ OR COMMENT........ BE YOUR SELF........not an ANONYMOUS ILLUSION..... Deal with it!!!!!!
....as so I can go to your blog space and get bent out of shape at something you wrote!
I have contemplated for a while on your comment and descided to treat it as if we met at.... an art opening.... and "You" viewed my photo..and approached me, to let me know "you" are disturbed by my use of camera and subject!.......so as humble as the written word can describe..... please: with open mind here,.... what i have to say ....... if you do not like what I have to "say visually" or "photograph as image" ....you can just.."Fuck Off"!!!!! ..... and go and get a glass of wine and cracker with cheese.....and look at paintings of kitties with rolls of yarn......:-0.... do not be shocked......you started this conversation!!!!!!!!
... but if you are brave enough.... ..you can can keep reading....and LISTEN to my point of view... on "Beauty within mother nature"
First off... I would like to let you know that the gold fish are from my zen garden....I have over 2500 of them..... and these beautiful fish died during the winter, do to "deep ice"...which means... this winter had abnormal temp changes....a deep freeze.
Part of my art process is going in the spring and collecting the dead gold fish and making pictures of their beautiful colors, with the use of camera.....and remembering them........my "WORK" is embodied with the aspect of... suspending beauty from DECAY!!!!!!!!!....and if you can not understand this......get a dictionary...and get versed in how to view works of art pertaining to someone's art making process!
The gold fish you see displayed upon a deer skull, were killed by natural causes..... I chopped a hole in the ice.. and with bare hands..... I removed them... and was amazed at their colors..... yet wanted to remember, as artist the beauty they gave me in the summer....so I placed them on a deer skull as "COLOR" accenting a deer skull..... The same mind genre as Georgia O'Keeffe( Go Google her name and works of art) ...I utilized their dead bodies for inspiration and remembrance..... and when my photo documentation was done .... they were placed in the snow at the base of the willow tree, that secluded them from the hot sun...their essence at point of decomposition, will feed a tree...OH by the way... I need to let ya know "That I planted that willow tree"...'I RETURNED THEIR BEAUTIFUL CORPSES BACK INTO THE LIFE FORCE FROM WHICH THEY CAME FROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..":-0"......Can you: the viewer EVEN comprehend that act of compassion...... or do you still want to hide behind the power of anonymous.... on a key pad on the internet.?... Here.. just to entertain you from: where ever you are at.... on this planet.... I will keep writing.... You are quoted as saying " YOU HAVE NO APPRECIATION FOR THE LIFE THEY ONCE WERE"(BY THE WAY YOU SPELLED it WRONG)...ANYWAYS... I have said more thank you prayers, to animals spirits than you can even comprehend......thus the purpose of my works of art ...so do not give me your "emotional confined" bullshit as to weather or not I am in tune with animal energies.....
.....I sm the most energetic animal lover you will ever meet.....trust me.......a lot of other people I know, within my existence circle, will validate this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.......I have eaten.....said "thank you" to the spirits of rabbits: I ran over on a busy high way with my car!..... oh god yes.. and yes....I stopped and said thank you to a quivering, shaking, convulsing and bleeding rabbit that I ran over with my car and asked for forgiveness .....and returned home....and ate it...and to piss ya off....@ my very dinner table.... I said "thank you" to the spirit of the rabbit or duck or chicken or fish...THAT HAS FED MY FAMILY @ the dinner table..... Who ever the hell you are........ I say "thank you" to the veggies I grow in my garden in the summer.......and consume them in the deepest of Jan and Feb nights.......buried in snow an -12 degrees outside.........Oh hey...... I even duck hunt.....and just to let ya know........ I sprinkle TOBACCO on my shot gun shells...and say a prayer to the the CREATOR...for letting me kill some ducks, to put "meat" on my table......or are you a soul that goes to WALL MART for the all mighty chicken wrapped in plastic...at sale prices...having NO FUCKING IDEA...what the chicken meat went through to get to your table..... DID YOU BY CHANCE SAY A THANK YOU PRaYER FOR YOUR MEAL>>>>THIS EVENING??????????
Hey while we are at it in conversation...you are quoted as saying..."Your Art is like at war when the opponent displays dead soldiers bodies on sticks or hung from trees and bridges as a statement of winning".....Hmmmmm.....I think you watch too much television and read too many newspapers.......hey why not go have a bonfire in the woods and admire the fire fly and stars....completely naked for about 2 days with no phone.............My art making and image creation has nothing to do with war and displaying corpses as trophies........my art and image making is about the forgotten beauty of mother earth and her natural inspiring mysteries.....and besides if I was a soldier as artist...fighting for my countries freedoms....and I had to kill an enemy of OUR freedom.....I am a soldier that would ask that the creator takes his spirit to heaven...and thank the soul of my enemy for a worthy battle......hell shit......if ya care to read on....I would take the time to bury this enemy soldier within the soils of mother earth and send his soul home to the creator.....My art and image making is about showing the wonders from the greatest book I have ever read......Mother Nature!
,,,,,so come on... I challenge you to comment back with your real identity.....as so we can ENGAGE in a real conversation...... other wise the next time you shop @ Wallmart........Do Not Buy any meat........no body in the profit margin said thank you to the souls of the meat within packaging from the shelves you buy from!
Now I must sign off......and you have annoyed me.....yet I must tend to a sick dog who I found in a dumpster as a puppy......and if you are are still disturbed by my images in the process of discovering Art Making.........just fuck off and go away......end of discussion!

The photograph of the antlers/fish/tree is very lyrical- it is suggestive of the life force of both creatures and their soul path, and, transitions. There is joy in the still leaping fish which seem a natural extension of the magnificence of the antlers and the part they played in the dark mystery of the wood. How is it then that you do not appreciate this creation from the centre of your own soul being? Do not use words to attack others that view your images and wonder at them, but teach them about the PEACE in your inner being that brought them to this world. Be kind, be loved, BE IN PEACE.
Hhhmmmmmm......THANK You for reminding me of MINDFULLNESS and thank you for sharing positively.
I am very appreciative! :-) !
Namaste J-E
