In conjunction with an exhibit opening this Saturday, January 30th at Carmel Visual Arts Studio, I have expanded my online Rain portfolio to include additional Water-themed Galleries called “Flow” and “Ripple”. A selection of these images will be part of a unique small-scale installation in the spirit of Japanese photographer, Masao Yamamoto. The photos are seen as visual haikus displayed as a collection. This installation is an addition to the main exhibition of work by Jeff Nixon. Join us for the Artists Reception from 5-7pm…and check out my website for a preview.
THE BRIDGE, THE FENCE, AND THE FOOTPATH
For the second bi-monthly post to “Reflections 2016” dated January 17, I am featuring a small series of images influenced by the way manmade structures connect and divide space. In these studies, I am experimenting with the dual concepts of natural / manmade and foreground / background tension.
“Reflections 2016” is my version of an online sketchbook or photo journal. I invite you to check it out and share your thoughts.
YOU’RE INVITED…
…To the opening of my new online gallery featuring a series of Fire and Flame images .
Flames are the visible part of a fire, gaseous but sometimes dense enough to be considered plasma. The dance of flames is a mesmerizing sensory experience…the hypnotic movement of light and form meditative – engaging our attention to quiet the mind. It’s a fascinating photographic study that I plan to expand in the future. You can visit the Fire Gallery at: http://www.debraachen.com/2884676-fire-gallery. While you’re there, check out some of my other galleries and sign up for the mailing list. As always, I welcome your thoughts.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I am kicking off the year with a bi-monthly website feature called “Reflections 2016”. This is my version of an online sketchbook or photo journal for sharing thoughts and images that don’t necessarily fit into my current themed portfolios of ongoing work. They might be images from a photography workshop project, new ideas I am exploring, creative inspirations from books, movies, or music… or they may simply be captures of an extraordinary subject or moment that catches my eye in the course of the day.
The theme for this first post is Self-Reflection, based on the following quote:
“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.”
- Anais Nin
I’m sharing several Self-Portraits, including this one called “Face to Face”.
Love to have you check it out… Reflections 2016
I’m excited to share with you the official launch of my website:
