9 May, – Photography As Art, A Lifelong Passion

09 May

All of us are on a journey. When it comes to our photography we are constantly evolving and growing with our craft and our images that we create grow and evolve with us. I am in the fortunate position that I see a lot of photographers work and have watched a number of these photographers evolve their art to incredible levels. For years I have followed Eleanor Brown and watched her photography evolve. Today, Luminous-Landscape is proud to publish Eleanor’s essay Photography As Art, A Lifelong Passion. I hope you enjoy her work and article, make sure to click though to her website as she has a lot of other amazing images. And, by the way this series of images and why she did them fits i very well with a previous article we recently published; Why Photography Projects Are Important by Alain Briot.

This July Luminous-Landscape hosts a workshop to the Northern Polar regions – Svalbard – Land Of The Polar Bear. We have only 2 berths left on the first cruise. The second cruise is Sold Out. If you’d like a very special small boat experience to this region then register today. You can find out more information HERE.

The Overview Effect: Awe and It’s Lifelong Impact

11 Dec

Imagine being so far above the Earth that you see it in entirety. Odds are unless you’re an astronaut you’ve experienced this view as I have through photos from the Apollo missions of the 60′s and 70′s (ex. Earthrise) or through more recent images taken aboard the Space Shuttle & International Space Station. For those lucky enough to experience this view first hand it is understandably life changing. Author Frank White termed this impact the “Overview Effect“. The Planetary Collective put together 19 minute short documentary interviewing numerous astronauts describing this effect and its impact on their lives. I highly recommend checking it out. After viewing it I am incredibly grateful that I haven’t had to fly into space to understand and appreciate the interconnectivity we all share and the fragility of our floating island in space we call home. It’s that core aspect of the “Overview Effect” that keeps me focused on highlighting the special quality of our home in my nature and landscape work.

Also note if you missed it the other week NASA released a high resolution image of the Earth at night, the Black Marble. The light sensitivity of the image was great enough to see a single boat in the ocean. Amazing to see.
