The Inner Path of Photography

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

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.

I see you
Whether you pretend to see me or not

Your nonchalance does not fool me
My heart remains the same

Love does not disappear on a whim.

Amid the chaos and distractions
The Beloved is always here.
