Ethereal Ether Echoes Show ::. The formation and name of the exhibition was inspired by a single thought; contemplation upon the presence of eternity after this life has begun the journey home. Our earthly demise is not the end of a journey but the continuation of one that began four thousand years earlier with the creation of the soul. The images in this exhibition depict travels the eyes have taken alongside the heart, mind and, finally, the essence.This exhibition showcases works of analogue photography ― Travelogues of Pakistan, India and Turkey, followed by digital photo montages of various landscapes and still-life.
Apprentice Anthology ::. students section; course outlines & links, image galleries, work through various student skill levels and departments .
Virtual Matter ::. general resource section ... quotes, techniques, reading list, glossary and links omnibus collection.
Fine Art Photography is a silent pleasure for the eyes of the soul. I believe it does wonders in making us realize how minuscule we really are. How little we have seen of the awe-inspiring world that surrounds us and ever so often drowns us. And then with time we become conscious of His presence, The Creator of the Creations.
So you may ask? Why bother with a web site with millions of them already out there well! Quite simply it’s an intense need to share the joy felt and hopefully to begin, a train a thoughts in the viewers mind that eventually generates a parallel positive energy.
The other day I read something quite delightful ... that says it all too well.
“ The knowledge that arises from contemplation is that knowledge that whirls the earth about the sun that raises and lowers the tides, that opens eyes and, eventually, for the devoted student, the heart. Those whose desire to see is strong enough will discern the hand of the designer in the symmetrical pattern of the leaves, the paint strokes of the artist in the strata of the rocks, the blueprints of the engineer in the placement of the stars.”
