I am Carsten Burmeister photographer, writer, dreamer.

This is what I do:
I read, watch & listen ...
then think ... then write.

I think things through thoroughly with my book en.light.en.ment
I wish to inspire readers to think about things as they never thought about them before.

My book is a panharmonicon of 150 essays - ooops, it has grown to 178, still 150 pages though - about words and numbers, life and death, spirituality and philosophy, truth and truthiness, war and peace & Zen.

My quest as an artist is to document my environment.
I walk ... I look ... I shoot.

With my blog I want to give you
a piece of my mind as well as a window to the world in the hope you find stuff you can relate to ... many blogs tie in with the essays in en.light.en.ment; others offer visual feasts and info you probably never thought you needed.

Next to my blog, on the right, are links to some of the best websites ... I'm doing the hard work for you re. net-surfing. Click 'n enjoy.
