PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
“Contemplative Photography: Meditations in the Woods”
I am having a photography exhibition at the Levi Heywood Memorial Library, 55 West Lynde St., Gardner, MA. The exhibition will run from March 1st until March 29, 2024.
Artist's Statement:
Instructions for living a life:
Pay attention
Be astonished
Tell about it
Mary Oliver “Sometimes”
Mary Oliver’s instructions above have become the guiding principles for my photography. Photography has gained importance in my life since it has become a spiritual practice. I try to spend time in nature on a regular basis. It is a time for meditation and a time to clear my thoughts. With a quiet mind I wait to see what calls to me, what “shimmers”. Then I try to capture the subject in a personal, intimate, and emotional way. I am not interested in simply documenting the world, but trying to reveal something essential about myself and the world around me.
If I have been successful, some of these images will touch you, make you feel something of the beauty, astonishment, and wonder I felt during the time I spent creating them.
Each image is accompanied by a Haiku poem, written to express in a few simple words the connection and feelings that I experienced at the time I made the photograph.
I hope you enjoy the time you spend with these images and their invitation to journey inward, enjoy some serenity, and see the world with fresh eyes.

Back in orbit
I am back in orbit and hope to return soon. I had to close a cycle and pass some space oddities, but hopefully I will find the chance to be here more frequently again.
Missed you and miss you. Thanks for all the likes, reblogs and messages. You kept my blog alive and vivid. So grateful. Thanks a ton. Looking forward to dive into your imagination and inspiration again soon.
Sending a tight hug and lots of love to all of you.
Have a wonderful weekend. In those times of separation it´s time to come together.
Sending a tight hug and lots of love to all of you.

Another ‘non theme’ off piste post for Saturday
So… the photo that I bought at the MAMA exhibition in July arrived and it was signed
For anyone interested in the print itself, when it arrived I was surprised that it wasn’t on photographic paper so I went back and checked the ‘pink tape’ sign …
I’d noticed at the time that it said ‘Carbon Archival Prints’ but had no idea what it meant
I looked into it and it seems it’s a printing method which is only available from one photographic shop in north london. It’s a pretty specialist (and expensive) way of doing black and white prints but according the information I found it creates a far higher level of image permanence and helps give more emphasis to shadows and highlights in the photographs
So I learned something new too
I also love that is seems Evans puts so much thought and effort into all the things that he does 😊

やぁはじめまして。
写真展の搬入・お客様とのお約束もありここ数日は三都物語をしているneko-no-otoでございます。でもね、ただ行って帰ってなんてつまんないじゃん。なので会場までをふらふらとお散歩でございます(早く行け)
そんな途中にであったコ(場所はいろいろご迷惑になるかもなのでナイショでゴメンなさい)
よくお話してくれるコでした。
というわけで京都三条・同時代ギャラリーで写真展やっております(告知)
I am having a photo exhibition in Kyoto. On my way to the venue, I met a wonderful cat.
