Themes: Mark Hurn

Icebergs | Dead, ahead
Lago Argentina - Provincia de Santa Cruz, Argentina
Themes thread their way through a photographer's work.  Mark Hurn organizes his work into Collections. My favorite on Google+ was "Argentina...," a grand introduction to the country and its unique phenomena. Collections are stated themes, conscious, open and declared.

Throughout Mark's work, however, runs another theme, private, deeper and more fascinating. He frequently expresses it as a personal characteristic on his posts, " I'm posting tonight instead of tomorrow, as I don't think I shall have time then... "

Photography is a gift of time.

Mark comments:
"Some of this planet is still truly mesmerising... so can we lose the ego and stop destroying it now, while we're still here? Walk when you can, drive a smaller car, acclimatise to where you live and if you need an air conditioner, set it high (I use 30° C in summer).
"Algunas partes de este planeta son todavía verdaderamente cautivadoras... Entonces podemos perder el ego y dejar de destruirlo ahora, mientras estamos aquí? Camina donde puedas, conduce un auto más pequeño, aclimatízate en donde vives y si necesitas un aire acondicionado, ponlo alto (yo lo uso entre 30 C en el verano)."
Mark also has images on Instagram and Facebook.

    Thanks for sharing Jeff Diver
    I read that one should start posts talking 'to the audience'.. But I've found the opposite is also true, people seem to like to know it's really me...
    But sometimes one has to remember to take the photos to be able to share them!!

Maria Salvador makes it tough to choose a favorite!

Maria Salvador's old Google+ site (above) gives an idea of the quality & breadth of her work. Maria Salvador makes it tough to choose a favorite! Whether it comes to Flowers or Photographers Maria's posts are exquisitely selected. She is not afraid of tackling unusual subjects. From Photo album: Pixels dance - composites, collages & other textures on MeWe Sylvester, the dragon "Sylvester is a dreamer. He loves the ocean and sometimes he dreams of a world where the dolphins fly and the dragons dive and play together..." by Maria Salvador Maria Salvador is moving off Google +. Here is her final post on her "Flowers for Love" Google+ Collection: "Google+ seems to be falling down by pieces, so this will be my last post. You may find me, if you want, on Mewe: https://mewe.com/profile/5bc70b66a5f4e501fdeb3889 , where I met some nice Communities of photographers from G, and also on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/pho...

Exploring frontiers. Paolo Dalprato...

Red sunset San Vigilio - Bergamo, Italy Exploring frontiers While some of us push the limits of B&W photography and others explore color, Paolo Dalprato, Photographer investigates the intersection of the two. His Collections cover some unusual subjects. A sampling of Collections on the Dalprato Galleries page Paolo has a lot to say about his philosophy of photography in the "About" link on his old Google+ Profile page: " I have a very emotional approach to photography , I am convinced that the knowledge of the technique is fundamental, but it is just a tool to use to say something or convey emotions or just represent beauty... " I also work in the music and most of the pictures are related to That environment, taken mostly during concerts of classical music but also jazz musicians, buskers and tango dancers. In this case, I try to portray the artist and not the person, in other words I portray the personage. And if there is even the musica...
