grandma's photo-album.


i was looking for some snaps in the old family albums. and i've step upon the grandma's album. i remember it quite well. from this one i know how my grand-grand father was looking like, i know who's my aunt's cousin, and could recognize my mum at the age of 2, and so on. but this time i was struck by the decoration left between the photographs. and of course, the snaps i was looking for - were found.

well, the thing is...would we have to show something simmilar to our grandsons, or it would be the mix of films, slideshows and thousands of jpgs?

Jane Fulton Alt: Burn




Jane Fulton Alt: The Burn series evolved from my ongoing interest in life cycles. Controlled burns imitate naturally occurring fires by removing accumulated dead vegetation and releasing seeds from dormancy. By opening the woodlands to more sunlight, the fires prepare the soil for new spring growth, and the cycle of renewal continues.
While accompanying restoration ecologists on prescribed prairie burns, I am drawn to the ephemeral quality of a single moment when life and death do not seem opposed to each other, but are parts of a single process to be accepted as a whole.

Recently I saw Bruno Pantones captivating photography and decided to show some of his work here. .."He gets more satisfaction and inspiration with art photography and the years spent in contact with the people, and often with extreme reality, led him to search the expressions and the forms of our time between faces and human beings.."

I found this box at a local fleamarket and bought 30 pairs. You could always use some more eyes.
