TO HELP FUND MY NEW PROJECT ABOUT PALESTINIAN REFUGEES & GAZA. (CLICK ON "DONATE" TO GO TO PAYPAL) THANK YOU. My next trip will begin May 19, 2022 for two months to continue my Ongoing and Relentless Nakba photo project. Updated September 29, 2022 Through photography Through photography I love: daughters, friends, the earth. Through photography I am outraged: at injustice, pomposity, violence, deceit, ignorance, greed. Through photography: I am perverse, critical, analytic, emotive, radiant, clumsy, elegant, adventurous, irreverent, romantic. Through photography: I am a person of the world, of the cosmos. And I am a recluse, an isolate, a monk. For all this I am very grateful. I praise my photographic lineage—ancestors who have taught me, contemporaries who cooperate with me, and successors who might benefit from what I've attempted to do. I thank the great mystery, god, the higher power, the ground of being, the still small voice inside, my dearly beloved and indispensable muses, and the pulse of the universe for allowing me—perhaps—to be aligned with this force, rather than opposed to it. Photography is my main form of prayer—I pray outward to the beings, things, forces I photograph. I pray inward to my own center by sensing the light within. I pray to others by showing them my photos. I link with the light, both inward & outward. Photography fuses my many tendencies, it allows expression of my various urgencies. May these images better balance the plethora of main media images we constantly experience: catastrophe, despair, ruination, death. May they help broaden the palette of art to include hope, faith, fun, exhilaration, antics, joy, friendship, worship, love. In the midst of a troubled time, may they affirm the life force. —Skip Schiel, June 18, 2009

On fateful Monday, March 28, 2022, YouTube extinguished my account, rendering me disappeared, unilaterally, without warming or negotiation. My three appeals brought no positive response. I'm working to find an alternative. If you know of people who've experienced something similar, or have ideas for what I and others like me terminated from YouTube can do, please send them to me here. I will slowly restore a selection of my videos and continue adding new videos posted on other platforms like Vimeo, FaceBook, and GoogleDrive.
