The Inner Path of Photography

We yearn for the taste of the sacred…and through our cameras discover it, the world, and ourselves.

Interactive Art Installation Encourages Writing in Library Books

“German artist Christian Moeller creates a giant cloud made of 12,000 blank notebooks waiting to be filled.”

I love this idea!

It  honors the traditional art of books, paper, writing
invites us to get away from our computers and come to the public library
encourages everyone to express their thoughts/images/creativity
gives us an easy way to read/see/absorb the perspectives  of others
and keeps the entire dialogue and creative energy going.

I’m working with collaborative book ideas…

My thoughts inspired further from comments by Daniel Milnor at his SFUAD presentation on making books…

Now this…hmmm…more to come…

Article November 30, 2012: Georgia O’Keeffe’s Hawaii – New York Times

What a wonderful inspiration for a trip to Maui! I had never heard of this trip that Georgia O’Keeffe took to Hawaii, nor had I seen the resulting paintings – how wonderful –

Tony Perrottet, travel writer for the New York times, has written an inviting, unusual article about his exploration of Maui in the footsteps of Georgia O’Keeffe, drawing on the help of Patricia Jennings as his virtual tour guide.

Patricia was 12 years old, the daughter of a Hana plantation manager, when Georgia asked her to be her private guide on the island. The two became friends, which Jennings has written about in the recently published “Georgia O’Keeffe’s Hawaii.”

Let’s follow too in the footsteps of Georgia and create our own impressions/images of Maui  –

Who’s interested?

Failure as Friend – by Dan Milnor

This latest blog post, “Failure as Friend,” by Daniel Milnor, photographer  is wonderful. It’s so freeing for someone to share the blips in the road, be able to laugh about them, and to express so beautifully the understanding that our lives are not about perfectionism – and our “failures” are  all part of living life passionately and participating fully in the creative process.

I’m going to see Dan tonight at Santa Fe University of Art and Design, where he’ll be talking about publishing Blurb books. I’ve been looking forward to his talk – looks like I’ll have a double bonus today after such a fine article.

Thanks, Dan!
