That One Great Shot
Featured Work
-
In the Beginning... by Geoff Coleman - Landscapes
It fascinates me how creation myths and evolutionary thought seem to converge around the possibility of a spark such as this igniting life. / Taken off the “Balcony” – a beautiful section of coastal cliffs in Royal National Park just south of Sydney Australia during a spectacular storm. I’ve shot about half a dozen storms here this year. The others all drifted out to sea which made them nice and safe and easy to photo so I got lulled into a false sense of security with this one. It decided to head straight up to where I was photographing and at one stage I had to hide under a rock overhang with bolts going off all around – deeply scary but wouldn’t have missed it for anything – a magic night of biblical proportions I can tell you and one I’ll never forget. More in this series coming shortly. / Canon 30D / Tv: 30s / Av: f3.5 / ISO: 100 / FL: 17mm

The Altar by Rick Wollschleger
“Not until he stood at the altar did he achieve a sense of being hale and furnished. It was strange, he thought, that a man would find his surest current in the spot where he felt least worthy.” Charles Turner

Halleluja! by Shelly Hiebert
Nikon D90 This is a photo I took today at Busch Gardens in Florida. The boy and girl in the far left are my son and daughter. It was SO hot today at the park and we were all looking for relief from the heat. If you stood under one of the rides you were able to catch the excess splash…........it seemed to be a place of worship for many!

Strange Autumn Rose by Julie Marks
This surreal landscape is populated with a myriad of / disparate imagery, an expression of our first language, / primary process, the visual processing of the infant before / the symbols of language develop. The language of / the unconscious is universal and like music can be / shared with anyone regardless of our planet’s boundaries / that we refer to as countries. There would be so much / less hate, violence and war if these boundaries were removed / and we could join together as a united, not divided planet. / Great artists and musicians have expressed this hope through / their music. John Lennon’s Imagine is probably the best known song to express the wish for universal peace. The other phenemenol artist to write songs about the senseless / damage to our earth in “We are the World”, “Earth Song” / among many others was Michael Jackson. I am stunned / to write about this extraordinary and magestic performer and / humanitarian in the past tense. His recent passing has not / registered and the loss I feel is too profound to use words to express the deep feelings of sadness I feel about his tragic death. The lyrics in his poignant song, “Gone Too Soon” that Michael dedicated to the passing of Princess Diana play in my head as I struggle to deal with overwhelming / emotions as songs of his brilliant recordings flood my mind. / I know it will take time to heal the pain / as I journey through his troubled life reflected so candidly in his music. There are few people that are truly original and kindred spirits who touch our life with their profound spirit that is a gift that we treasure for a lifetime. / Now he is a gift to the / Universe and his message will continue to influence / all the generations that will benefit from his genuis. / Over the last few days, I took some photographs of tree / bark and as I scanned the tree to take the shot, I repeatedly saw his image. In this image, I see his face lying among a gathering of rust leaves (bottom center). I never imagined that my bark art photography would help me heal as various images appeared in new and surprising ways. Bosch and Bruegel, the Flemish painters of the15th century / influenced the Surrealists allowing us entry into / the contrasting juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated / images that derive from the personal and collective / unconscious. The closest language to express / imagery that does not depend on rational or logical / thought is poetry. One of my favorite poems, the deeply meaningful / Autumn Elegy was written by the spiritual poet Rumi and / after reading it again, I felt calmer as if a great spirit, a “strange autumn rose” had been released to rest in peace. / I want to share this poem with you, Autumn Rose Elegy, especially when dealing / with the loss of a loved one. Rumi’s beautiful words are especially meaningful / to me after choosing this poem to engrave on a friend’s ebony tombstone after she died several years ago. “You’ve gone to the secret world. / Which way is it? / You broke the cage and flew. / You heard the drum that calls you home. / You left this humiliating shelf, / This disorienting desert / Where we’re given wrong directions. / What use now a crown? / You’ve become the sun. / No need for a belt: / You’ve slipped out of your waist! / I have heard that near the end / You were eyes looking at soul. / No looking now. / You live inside the soul. / You’re the strange autumn rose / That let the winter wind in / by withering.” Autumn Rose Elegy / Rumi / Translation by Coleman Barks Please view this in the large format to appreciate / the imagery.
