The Inner Path of Photography

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

“The Ceramic Canvas – Art of Food Plating”

Plating, photography by Evan Sung, NY  Times

Interesting article,  “The Ceramic Canvas” – recently in the New York Times.

In addition to my enjoyment of the article, my main interest was the slide show, “Beautiful Plates,” – which made me very hungry and ready to go to a fabulous restaurant immediately – but which is also just beautifully shot by Evan Sung.

The images themselves are art forms, based, of course on the work of the chefs, but also taken to the next level by the talent of the photographer in using white space, lighting, simplicity.

Visit his website – more beautiful creations await you.

Enjoy – be inspired – and then go eat something wonderful –

(or let your photography shoot of “beauty” be your sustenance?)

 

Photo essay from the Philippines – Alison Baskerville

Allison Baskerville toys on line Philippines

I love “These Precious Things,” a photo essay by Alison Baskerville.

Created during her experience in the Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan, the images are personal, simple, powerful. One truly feels the value and emotional impact of what remains.

BBC news has published  an edited, short version of  “These Precious Things,” with informative captions.

A larger version of 20 images (without captions)  is on Alison’s website, as well as her other beautiful, sensitive projects.

“My studio…today”

A new series…as I travel, shoot, write.

Spontaneous, in-the-moment, I-Phone snaps; more studied, deliberate 35mm.

Capturing feelings, wonder, adventure, contemplation…

as I create a life day by day.

The world is my studio.
