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!!

John Suler: Photographic Psychology

John Suler's Flickr Albums page (partial view) John Suler's perceptions are well worth your time considering. He is both observing and participating in the world of cyber photography. "It's a composition, stupid!" He wrote (perhaps with your help if you commented) a book that strives to take full advantage of social media. On Flickr John describes the project: "My whole photostream is an ongoing meditation on photographic psychology: how we create, share, and react to images, especially concerning digital photography and online photosharing, like here in flickr. "This set in Flickr contains some of my more highlighted aspects of Photographic Psychology, including essays that appear in my online book "Photographic Psychology: Image and Psyche." It’s a book about the design, interpretation, and psychological impact of visual images based on photography. As a psychologist, I will bring ideas from my field into this explorat...

Master of the echo, Phil Koch

"Springtime Blues" Wisconsin Horizons By Phil Koch. Master of the echo, Phil Koch's "Horizons" series frequently splits the frame in roughly equal parts, with the lower "earthly" segment reflecting what's going on above. Here, the smooth, ice-covered rocks reflect the orderly altocumulus clouds above in contour, tone and pattern. Phil's profile page [ https://phil-koch.pixels.com/ ] has many more examples of his creations, and a few surprises mixed in there, too. Phil says: "I created the series of Horizons in 2010 as photographic journey through the landscapes of Wisconsin. I rarely shoot in the same location as the sun rises and find the meadows that most just drive by without a second thought as the best place to wait and watch."
