Gregory Colbert - Ashes & Snow

Roger Payne, famous for the discovery of whale song among Humpback whales, said of Colbert's work, “Gregory’s images return us to the sanity of our undeniable, unavoidable, inextricable connection to nature. And they do it with beauty, grace, lightness-of-being, strength. His images, like whale songs, are the last wild voices calling to the consciousness of terminally civilized humanity, our last contact with nature before we submerge forever in our own manufacture and lose forever the final fragments of our wild selves.”

To all my artists out there...  
here is a 1 minute inspirational and enlightening talk that we all should listen to.

My photo father's "Memory Loss"

 If you documented your mentors in terms of lineage we would all have a family tree of our educational intersections. To some these connections are mediocre. To me they carry some serious weigh and many hard earned lessons. Point being, we all are standing on the shoulders of giants, which are actually someone else's ideas, dialogue that we have with the work or existence of other creators.  However you choose to think about your past influences and gifts, this is one of my favorite giants to reference, my photo father, Stan Strembicki. Check out a recently uploaded portfolio of his on Behance...

If our knowledge and experiences had a family tree... a web... a network of connections we make...
