For Every Orlando (no more, no more)

[Stephen Mead]

I am not a social animal savvy with media today but I have posted the following here and there:

"I humbly submit the image below "Embraced by Grace (For the Upstairs Lounge)" to send love and healing to the victims and loved ones of the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando Florida. The only legacy I can think of at the moment, against terrorism, is love. If anyone has (or had) LGBT loved ones and would like to share their stories via letters, photos and other scanned memorabilia I can be reached at [e-mail] I am working on montages for this series tentatively titled "From Nostalgia Though Now and Beyond" as a way of paying homage to the international LGBT Civil Rights movement, especially prior to Stonewall, where so many lived "in the life" but unsung. I see this as an ongoing series as I learn of new stories and imagine either gathering them on a website such as Weebly or published through CreateSpace, but I am open to ideas as to what presentation platform might work best. I will of course also gladly share jpegs of what images I create with those thoughtful and generous enough to offer their stories. Let us light a candle from one to another against all forms of hate and brutality."

Please feel free to share this with your networks, even if like me, they are more through Pony Express than Twitter.

In support, gratitude and respect at this time,
Stephen
