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...

Sonali Dalal summons the viewer

Sonali Dalal's photography summons the viewer. Her remarkably focused creative energy makes her albums read like a good novel - a real "page turner!" "I picked up a camera for the first time in 2010. 'Til then, I had no idea what DSLR meant. I have been working with a fashion design company for the last 27 years, and that constant exposure to creativity has helped me a lot as a photographer. My exposure to art and artists and my frequent travels have fueled my passion for photography. Coming into contact with some amazing talent on g+, pushed me into exploring the field further." Photographer Sonali Dalal-Showcased on Picforest "18-01-2010 The date will forever remain etched in memory of Sonali Dalal, the date on which she held the camera for the first time..."  From Picforest: "Her photos adorn covers of books of some of the greatest poets of Gujarati literature.
