David Trotter holds a BFA in Fine Arts (Pacific Lutheran University, 1979) and a MA in English (Eastern Washington University, 1995). He is a writer of metaphysics, social and political commentary, poetry, erotica, and general essays. He is also an avid photographer. As most of his written work has yet to be published in book form, it will be appearing here for the first time, much of it over the course of 2007. We also will be adding individual images and image collections for download, as well as photo books including poetry and commentarty. We hope you enjoy.

Publishing as Paradigm Shifter
2007 Apr 04 Self-publishing is interesting. It helps to have the material and a supporting partner together. The material has been with me for a long while, but I didn't have the partner until I learned of Lulu. It's good to be home
Now, look forward to prolific production, as I finally get my material into publishable form.
As the blog title and the blog description indicate, the writings and images which come forth over the next months and years are directed toward major shift. In my case, the shift is perceived as nothing less than total liberation of the planet, a liberation of everyone (no matter whom) to meet her/his true potential, rather than the mental and physical enslavement to which s/he has been indoctrinated.
This may sound arrogant now, but wait till you seen the publishing that comes; then decide for yourself.
David
