Title: Finding solace with the Ancient One
Series: Revisiting Grizzle Peak, 3 of 3
Location: Grizzly Peak, Berkeley, California
Date: December 7, 2007
Image: N07757M1b2-FNL
Camera: Nikon D70, Full Frame
Commentary: When the second anniversary of my hear attack and subsequent open
heart surgery loamed close, I felt I needed to return to a location I had visited just prior to
those events and had taken a number of photographs that marked a pivotal creative
moment. By returning to this location and retracing some of my steps, I am hoping to
bring into perspective some of my thoughts to what had happened.
Now another six or seven months have passed since then and since then I have attended
college and produced a number of paintings, while setting a goal of attending the
University of Berkeley in the spring of 2010 and if there are no derailments have my first
exhibit in a gallery by the summer of that same year.
So now you know why I have been away and not posted, I simple needed to focus upon
another direction and follow a dream I had at the age of seven by giving it the life it has
longed for since.
Photography has not been abandoned, as it still plays an important roll in the creative
process, but for now, when this series of three images is finished, I will share some of the
dozen paintings that were accomplished since January of this year.

...danke zu dem netten Kommentar zu "meinem" Schmetterling. Allzu viele gibt es bei uns auch nicht mehr. Ich habe einen "Natur" - Garten und hin und wieder verirrt sich einer. Leider sind die Schmetterlinge sehr nervös und schwer zu erwischen. Übrigens: alle Deine Fotos gefallen mir ausgesprochen gut!

A lovely capture Egmont, I adore the sensitive tones of B&W and I wish you every success in your artistic journey. Never give up on your dreams, for they are what keep us alive inside. Much luck. Chrissy xx

It's a brilliant piece of work, Egmont, ( albeit unfortunately and necessarily, compressed here. ) ;^) Wonderful detail... beautifully balanced tonality and composition... To make it short, just plain all-around superior work. :^) Regarding your notes... I think it's a very healing thing to revisit and re-explore your creative past. Very often, there were hidden issues presenting themselves, at a particular point in time, that may now, no longer be a factor. I know this from personal experience... If that's the case, I hope you found them successfully 'exorcised', my friend, and can now move forward with a free.... and beautifully unencumbered heart. All my very best to you M :^)
