The Technique of Flowing

“A Fish in Water” | Anthony Satori

“We do not hear nature boasting about being nature, nor water holding a conference on the technique of flowing. So much rhetoric would be wasted on those who have no use for it. The man of Tao lives in the Tao, like a fish in water. If we tried to teach a fish that water is physically compounded of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen, the fish would laugh its head off.”

– Al Chung-liang Huang

Portrait of Fred

“Fred Armisen” (2017)  |  Anthony Satori

One of the goals of a portrait is to capture a glimpse of the spirit within, to create an image that expresses some essential aspect of the subject’s nature.

Fred Armisen is an actor, writer, comedian and musician.  He is best known for his work on Saturday Night Live and Portlandia.  He is easily one of the funniest and most talented performers working today, but also, to my experience, he is one of the nicest people in the industry.  Watching Armisen’s improv and character work on screen you get a feeling of genuine warmth, intelligence and humor, and these traits come across even more in person, when he is just being himself.
