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…

Expansiveness is the feeling as one looks at the valley from a gate at the top of the mountain in Tesuque, New Mexico.

Georgia O’Keeffe’s Hawaii

“Black Lava Bridge, Hana Coast No. 1,” 1939, by Georgia O’Keeffe.
Honolulu Museum of Art.

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  –
