About Artist : Photographer | Craig Christopher O’Connor Jr.

I believe that we live in a world that is beautiful & just.

One that has a Creator and Plan, although we do not always understand it for we are experiencing  it.

That this life is about the people we meet and the experiences we create and share together, not the things we have or the things we know.

That is for our testing and trial .

I feel that we should all  love what we do, and I believe the key to growth lies through experience.

As I have grown I have come to find the joy of a simple life.

I feel that our emotions, thoughts, actions, and intentions combine together to shape our reality and finding the balance of these is the key to us finding peace and equality.

How we use our time here, reflects who we are.

This all cumulates into who I am, what I do, how I create and how I work.

There is so much beauty to be found in the world everyday.

If we only take the time to step into the present we can see what has been here all along for us to discover.

 I choose to eat an organic {i.e. poison free NON GMO}, & vegetarian diet,  and we tend to stay close to home as our interests are not in the things of the world.

I use my days creating and studying the word in our secret little grove.

I share this time with my other half, best friend and my wife Elisabeth, as well with the girls Lexie, Star, {dogs} & Teany {kitty}
