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.

I'll be honest if youre a strictly digital artist you should pick up some sort of physical hobby art. Stamp carving/needlefelting/etc. Maybe get a single carving knife and just start whittling twigs like some sort of cowboy. Having something more tactile to do with your hands can be a lot more relaxing and grounding than paper or screen art is in my experience its really good for nerves

#i know physical art runs into a more expensive territory than digital #which is probably the biggest barrier #hell the stamp thing was something i had been eyeballing for like 2 years because everythings like 30-50 bucks minimum #but i feel like just running a carving knife over wood from a stick would be a similar sort of meditative thing #although if your someone with bad hand strength i would say soap or rubber would work best since wood is a bit harder #t.extpost

Long time no see, Tumblr.. I simply forgot about this account for a while.

Here is a random picture of a birch eating spoon in the making to get things going.. sharp tools, curly shavings, focused hands and and a big, calm sense of peace inside the head.

Making is good for you, and your hands can often save your head a lot of trouble.

A bed of rocks among the deep green of the woods for your mental health. There should be a small creek flowing here, but we haven't had as much rain as usual this year. So instead of the gentle water, we can connect with the place that is so solid it can hold up the whole stream as it flows. 😌

May you be peaceful and happy

May you be strong and healthy

May you be safe and feel secure

Let the earth support your body as you move through the day

Photo by me. Use it as you like and I'd love to see what you do with it!
