![]() Welcome Readers!The
purpose of this website is to link three sites together.
The original of my websites features a prize-winning book concerned with helping those who want to stop smoking actually to do so! Imagine how it will feel to live without pain. The surprising part is you still remember! It is how you felt before you started smoking. Yes, it is that simple. The hard hard part is figuring out how to quit. First of all, the way there is not what you think. Why not? Because your thinking says you cannot do it! Please forget this depressing bit of news you have created for yourself to fail! Instead, remember this: "The heart hath reasons the reason knows not of..." The second website features photographs. It links together the places where these photos are: Getty Images, Alamy and Flickr. The photos are there for your personal use as well as for use in all commercial venues. The purpose of the present site is to add poems, short stories and articles to the works the other sites feature. Moveable VisionsIs Everything I have to Offer.Moveable Visions are works created in such a way as to include the viewer.The majority of photos we see are objects containing either persons or other objects. This is an infinite regress... Most photos are like teachers teaching teachers to teach. Moveable Visions, by contrast, are the intention of including the viewer within them. Viewers breaks the infinite regress down by becoming the meaning of the photo they are viewing. Robert Capa, who took the unforgettable photos of the allies landing in Normandy, when someone asked him what the secret of photography is replied, "It is to like people and to let them know it."![]() Homage to PicassoLet me
introduce myself: I'm Thomas Mueller - an Internet Veteran of sorts,
this is the third website I've tinkered together...
I will
share with you the fact that creating them has been a fabulous and very
often an extremely frustrating
(*^$#@&&$^#$) experience; but the
further I go, the more interesting it gets...
The
very first one was to help people stop smoking.
Next, was
a photo site
linking the agencies that carry my photos together in one place; and as
my frustrations turned into a learning experience, my desire to
communicate took on intensity, mostly through frustrating, negative
experiences... When the first site was done I believed renting
a
few keywords for $ would make the dream of sports cars I can't even
identify come true. The world would flock to my door, I figured...
(I will pause briefly now until the laughter dies down...) Here's a very recent photo: of my scoff-law dog violating a very clearly marked STOP SIGN in mid-intersection... ![]() This
site grew out of the one before; only,
instead of linking photo agencies together, this site links both of my
other sites, and with this it forms the hub of what Thomas is
all
about; for it contains the things I love, all listed briefly at the top
of this page in form of links to writings, photos and my small
prize-winning book.
Starting
with the book (you're already familiar with the smoker's brain), it
helps you understand what is going on! When your body has rid itself of
enough nicotine for you to be able to feel it, the pleasure center of
your brain sounds the alarm: stop smoking side effects are
taking hold! Eeeeek, "More Nicotine!" and the imaginative part of the
addled smoker's mind (detox nicotine - bah!)
starts inventing excuses - why and how to smoke another one!
Whoever does this long enough becomes convinced smoking is their destiny: stop smoking symptoms are the worst there is! Battle-hardened smokers start inventing shared cigarettes with moviestars languishing with them, eyes wide, in the airy stairways of the mind! Why stop smoking be damned! In short, continual failure to stop means stopping is impossible and here is where the book comes in! I fooled myself for years imagining I could not stop! It's the easiest way to smoke one more! The biggest joke in all the world is quitting turns out to be much easier than self-deception is (honestly, it's a heap of trouble!). Why? The reason is so simple it is a guaranteed shocker: You will start feeling so much better the moment you do...! ![]() Above is a screenshot of what the Photo site looks like. To go there click Moveable Visions: A Photo Collection and you are on the page with links, to Getty Images, Alamy, and Flickr where the images are stored and where there is including fine art photography on sale,landscape photo art, people photo art, child art photos are also included. There are links to state-of-the art digital printing software, links as well to a select number of landscape photography images as well as an assortment of landscape photography galleries. When you browse, you will see you can have the photos I have made at whatever price you are willing and able to pay. I have been known to give photos away... ![]() Then
there's the smoking site you can visit by clicking Smokers
Welcome! and
a page chock full of information opens up. There is more! You can
navigate to your heart's content from the Sampler (where you can read a
bit about how to stop your own way), to the Affiliates' Page where you
can earn money on commission (and get the book half price - it
is
already selling for half-price, but never mind!) I know, people go from
considering laser treatment smoking, to
acupuncture to stop smoking; the discussions
of what is best rage on, but what are quit smoking symptoms anyhow?
When you explore quit smoking facts you will discover there aren't any!
What people think of as withdrawal symptoms are in fact what smoking
did to them! A while away from cigarettes smokers and smokers will
notice the dry throat, aching chest and all the other things smoking produces. What do
they do? The damn fools light up another
cigarette!
![]() Moveable
Visions is another site. It features selected writings: poems, short
stories, a philosophical article Linus Pauling was kind enough to
publish for me (there is an Ezine article Click
Here will
take you to!) and, and. Anyway, the main thing is I should love to get
to know you, which we can do if you would care to E-Mail me!
