Medium: Photography
I have written a story without “words” or text, through the lens of the camera with images which speak for themselves, expressing my meaning and conveying my story. They form my own script which is very personal and deeply significant to me. This 2 ½ hour “movie” with 10 chapters, entitled “Reflections of Our Earth Home”, was composed according to my own inner reality, meaning, impression and authenticity.
The pictorial story speaks on its own, formed according to my interpretation but open to each one’s own interpretation. Music was added which enhances the sensory perception of the movie. There is an accompanying 41 page booklet included with the DVD, titled: “Reflections of Our Earth Home – Deepening Your Journey into Nature”. It includes guided reflections, suggested uses and activities.
As I reflect upon my life I realize the profound influence of three aspects – my love of nature, the gift of photography and my own spirituality which has developed over the years.
Nature awakens in me a sense of excitement at all its intricacies. It brings calm and inner peace at the same time as stirring the awareness of the “inner self” and the wonder within. It invites me to be in touch with “creator” and draws me to an even deeper respect for all creation.
I’ve learned to appreciate that all aspects of life are interconnected and through the gift of my photography seek to capture this sense of “wonder” and the essence of that “oneness” we share along with the beauty, humour, vastness, intimacy, intricacy, fragility, colour and reality of the many levels of nature and life.
