Welcome to my part of the world...The World According to Nicolas Ray. I have over the last few months condensed all my online ventures and business’s so they just appear on this website. It was getting increasingly more difficult managing all my passions that were scattered all over the place so the decision was the only logical one that I could make. Photography, Graphics, Stories, Articles, and my painting business now appear in one place and all the websites that I own redirect to nicolasray.com Thank You and please use the contact form to send me any advice or tips you may have. Cheers…

Then I just picked the frames and using Photoshop I created seven layers each with a different image. Since it was shot with a tripod the scenery stays the same and only the moving object is recorded. Think the image came out pretty well. Image was taken in 2013 in Katonah, NY which is actually Bedford, NY…don’t ask, very strange narrow minded place that I m trying to forget.

The Beginning of My End

The traumatic entry was quickly just a distant memory and I later found out that my first experience was a common torture that most humans have to endure. 

The next few weeks, months, and years, were pretty mundane, almost to the point of madness. The days were filled with eating, followed  shortly after by the evacuation of what was just ingested. My secret fondness of letting loose, only to watch the mad scramble of my parents clean the mess… the mess that smelled worse than death itself.

My birth at New York Hospital on the upper East side during the summer of 1965, would be the beginning of an interesting and unpredictable journey.  

Upon my arrival to the new digs with shiny parquet floors and views of Manhattan’s skyline, my older brother George hesitantly greeted me. I actually felt sorry of bad for
