Black and White Photographs

Artists Describing Their Art:

Michael Easton - My nature photography reflects a personal vision of the spirituality of the land. Photographing nature primarily in British Columbia is a way of life that translates the passion for this land into a shared experience of imagery through the medium of the fine print.

Black and white aids the mind in this process without the distraction of other colours. My motivation in showing this work is to help people develop a stronger bond with nature and by extension a greater interest and concern for preserving the many unique ecosystems of the world....

The word unstill crossed my mind when I enrolled in dance photography in 1998. A new world opened up and I thought about the nature of stills, the ability to sense change and the in balance of time, the latter captured like a freeze in a singe moment. the word holds a different connotation in German. Still stands for silence and unstill implies the absence of it. I am currently collaborating with contemporary artists in Vienna, Milan and ...

Theodore Bogdanov - I am a self-taught artist from St. Petersburg, Russia. I do both figurative and abstract paintings in a mixture of styles. Most of them deal with how our minds work - strange associations, many things coming at once in a collage-like fashion, seemingly unrelated....
