Sable Island horses at the NSDCC

8 November, 2012 ⋅

On the 16th November, 2012 the Nova Scotia Designer Christmas Craft Show comes to the Cunard Centre in Halifax. This is a great craft show showing off the best of craft work from the Maritimes and beyond.

As in the past few years, I will be there exhibiting my limited edition work of nature images from the Atlantic provinces. Much of my work will be from Sable Island. The limited edition collection is considered, by myself, to be my best work. Images must have something extra special about them to be included in the collection, and all have been captured using a contemplative approach.

Here are a few images that will be on exhibit at the show.

I have just completed one week on Sable Island (Nova Scotia) as part of my work as a research zoologist/photographer. I had intended to create a blog during my stay, with images, but we have had issues with the internet. So, I am going to create the blog post-trip. Here is day nine.

29 June 2012 – PUNK!

As we waited to leave the island, on a gorgeous blue sunny day, a family of horses walked by. I followed them into the dunes where they grazed on the marram grass. There was an incredible stunning all-black stallion. This is one photo of him (still working on this image); I called this image, Punk!

INDIVISIBLE EXPERIENCE

22 June, 2011 ⋅

“…perception is not meaningful self-confirmation, but the experience of things as they are. White is white, and black is black…You and the experience become almost indivisible when you experience something in that way. It’s that kind of direct communication without anything in between.”

Chogyam Trungpa, “Nobody’s World,” in: TRUE PERCEPTION: The Path of Dharma Art, page 105.
