:: HoLy * CoW !!! A portrait of India from an UDderLY different perspective. ::
Holy Cow was my way of saying ......Thank You !!!! to the friendly loving cow that has supplied humans with what are considered the best things in life. It's another relationship all together, when cows roam freely and have the choice to interact how ever they wish. I chose India to make the Cow the true Star that it is because it's been respected and worshipped there from time before memory.
These are all proofs and not the gold toned originals that toured the world.
These images were made over an 10 year period. 1988-1998 While working on this project I had about 30
situations where I think the cow read my mind. Certainly a form of ESP exists with this Bovine.The original exhibition prints are all Archival Gold Toned Silver Prints.These are proofs to protect my images. The show has been exhibited @ OK Harris Gallery, New York City, Lithuanian Museum of Art,Chicago, Montreal, National Center for the Performing Arts,Piramel Gallery ,Mumbai, India , Toronto and Touring show with Fuji Film Galleries,Lithuania Subjects include, Nandi, Shivas Bull, Khamadenhu,Cow Bell, Gau Mata, Goshalla or Mother Cow, Holy Provider, Shapeshifter,Gomukka,Cow Dust,When the cows come home,Cow Yoga Position.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MiMEtoLITHs had the 12 planets first!
Algis Kemezys, whose documentary Mimetoliths
extrapolates on the importance of the numeral 12 in the history and the
folklore of our culture. As expressed by the mystic and mathematician
Pythagoras there are twelve planets in the heavens, just as there are
twelve gods on Mount Olympus, and twelve months in the year, and twelve
Apostles in the Bible, and twelve bagels in a dozen.
The big difference between my twelve planets (or rather, Pythagoras’) include Anticthone, a
paradisiacal, earth-like world, equidistant from the sun and
undiscerned by our telescopes because its orbit mimics ours, but on the
opposite side of the sun and therefore invisible to us.
For more about Anticthone, as well as the golden proportion of
1:1.618, the Minotaur, Artemis the goddess of the forest, Medea the
sorceress, the Phaestos Disc and its message, and all the other
creatures, gods, chimeras, and myths that lie dormant for millennia in
the rocks and the cliffs and the beaches of Crete, the most ancient of
Europe’s civilisations, check out Mimetoliths. Already shown in six
festivals, it plays this Autumn in Turkey as part of the U.N. sponsored
film festival Mediterranean Environmental Award, and also in Charlotte,
North Carolina’s Cackalaky Film Festival, and in all four locations
(Alaska, Arizona, Oregon, New Zealand) of the Night Gallery Film
Festival. It will be launched commercially in October at Cannes’ MIPCOM
by its distributor TPI out of Chantilly, Virginia.

:: My Natural Stone Sculptures on Crete 2007&8 ::
These are sculptures I made on the island of Crete, Greece in October & November 2007 and then again January, Feb & March 2008. Crete is the birthplace of Zeus and the home of the Minotaur who lurked in the Labyrinth. From King Minos' Palace Icarus tryed to escaped and flew to near the sun and melted his wax wings and fell into the sea. These are just some of the islands legends. Thus the stones and rock are unique and they inspire me constantly.
:: Denizens on the Wall* Montreal Graffiti ::
Montreal has a prolific group of avant guard Grafitti artist. MOST OF THESE IMAGES ARE NOW GONE. With a hot spot in Mile End for their creations. Always changing, many of these have disappeared soon after I photographed them with new works of Art. What makes this body of work so interesting is that it is unlike anything that was produced in Montreal over the last 25 years that I remember.
:: Sacred Sadhus Portraits 1998 Kumbh Mela ::
In 1998 I attended the Kumbh Mela in Hardwar, India. After many tests,without knowing it I became the official photographer of the Sadhus. These are but a few from about 100 portraits I made. Through out the 6 weeks I was to participate in the festival I witnessed many magical events. But the best was developing my film on site and giving each of them their portrait as quickly as 2 hours later.
:: Cemetery Moments* Graven Images Mark Anthony Kemezys RIP 1973-2009 ::
********My brother....Mark Anthony Kemezys son of Ms Freda Kemezys and Dr K. Kemezys of Norridgewock Maine passed away on March 5, 2009 in Augusta, Maine after his first Chemo theraphy session for lung cancer.
Mark, a true-blue son of Maine, was born, bred and lived his life alongside the Kennebec River in Madison, Norridgewock, Skowhegan, Waterville, Winslow and Augusta. He was known to be a fair guy, non judgmental and always focused.... He was keen on having a Memorable Time ! Mark was also known under the nick names ....Burt Reynolds and The Doc. We will miss the patience Mark had for others in his own quiet way. "So take those who like you not for granted... Better yet appreciate them. For one day they will be gone and all that will be left is Memories."
********He was a friend to all and always tried to make the most of things by never complaining. He lived a Brave Life and cherished his Friends. I will miss him Dearly.This Portfolio has images from 1979 to 2009
