The Inner Path of Photography

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

Flash Mob in Copenhagan Metro – Be Surprised!

May an equivalent of this happen to you today as you go to work or whenever you are out and about – or perhaps you could make it happen for others?!

(Carry your smile from watching this – others will feel it…)

Wonderful experience, wonderful little video.

Binh Danh, photographer, is making exquisite and unusual prints.
This is amazing and very beautiful, sensitive work –

“Danh appropriates iconic images of the Vietnam War and prints them on organic material such as leaves and grass, using a unique printing process he calls Chlorophyll printing. The images—ethereal and fragile, endowed with a sense of heart-wrenching loss—speak poetically of memory, impermanence and the remnants and aftermath of war.” (Pete Pin, Time Lightbox)

 

 

Evelyn Hofer – I love this woman’s work!

“Hilton Kramer once called Evelyn Hofer “the most famous unknown photographer in America,” a title she did not dispute. To her, the work was more important than the artist.” (David Gonzalez, “Evelyn Hofer, Reconsidered”)

A retrospective now at Danziger Gallery, New York.

See the wonderful slide show and article by David Gonzalez in the “Lens” Blog of the New York Times.

Or go to New York and see the show in person!
