Week 24 Inspiration: Who inspires you (Inspiration comes from many places. Tell us about who inspires you.)

My introduction to Bruce Percy’s color landscape images invited me to study the amazing images of Michael Kenna and to visualize landscape photography through an eye towards minimalism and muted colors. “As I’ve grown older, I’ve found that I’m much more attracted to the wilderness and the people that live on the edges of it. Photography is a great way of getting closer to the land and the cultures that inhabit it.” ~Bruce Percy cited: Wotfoto.com

What I have found interesting in this exploration and study of various photographers, is that while I am inspired by Bruce Percy and Michael Kenna, I am also drawn to the street photographs created by Jasper Tejano who offers the viewer amazing colored images of life on the street, “… color street photography, to me, presents life with much more realism and dynamism. Especially with my work on silhouettes, the darkness of my subjects will just drown in the different shades of gray. I need color to make my subjects emerge from the frame.” ~Jasper Tejano

…the four–earth, water, fire, and wind–are without characteristic, without entity, without self, without … principle.
D S Lopez, Jr, The Heart Sutra Explained

“The fire element is heat, warmth, and also the motivation that dives us; it also is our metabolism. …
“The earth element is all things that are solid, all the things we can touch…
“The water element is all the fluids in our body…
“The air element is the space in our body, also the air that enters and leaves our body, our breath…the movement the our body makes.”
