A New Alan Conrad

20211103_AC portrait1

Until today, whenever you visited this site, the photos you met of Alan Conrad were dishonest.

That is, they were five years old, taken when I was age 70. I’ve been feeling guilty about this deception, so I’ve finally produced new ones. So whatever you see from now on is the authentic me, in 2021.

When I call this site, Alternative World, I don’t mean another world than the one you and I live in. What I offer is an alternative way of looking at this world. You will be surprised at how different it can be, vs the way it is most often presented.

The photo looks great. And, I agree it is interesting how we can perceive things on the surface. Without that deeper look or even the awareness to do so, we miss so much.

  Thank you LaDonna. I think 90% of the world’s problems arise from people seeing only the surface of things, including ourselves.
