What started as a serious hobby has become a passion. I love capturing moments that catch my eye or speak to me on some level. But when the shutter clicks, it is only the beginning of the creative journey. Many times while processing my photos, I am also processing “the moment” and I have found it to be very therapeutic or otherwise helpful in my personal growth. My friend and artist mentor said it best:

 

"When I shoot, I'm never sure what's calling me at the moment. Sometimes my images sit in folders for days, weeks, or months. However, when they beckon, it's usually for a reason, one which helps me process a situation at hand."

~ Antoinette C. Ledzian

"The soul of a journey is liberty, perfect liberty, to think, feel, do just as one pleases"

~ William Hazlitt

 

"The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination."

~ Don Williams

Enjoy the journey.....that's what it's all about.

Once you’ve taken a few steps into his photo stream, the one thing you will immediately recognize is that 4Real IS For Real! There’s nothing pretentious or fake about this man’s creativity. It’s easy to recognize the passion that 4Real has for photography and for life in the images he shares with us on Flickr. One can’t help but be inspired by his vision and the way he tweaks his creations with words that take us on the journey he invisions. He’s able to take the simplest items we would normally overlook in life: a sprig of grass, a tiny vine and bring a focus that makes you shake your head and wonder what else you’ve been missing on your pathway through life. He truly appreciates the little things and yet never ignores the larger picture. Some might feel like a scraggly ancient tree when perusing his photo stream, others, like myself experience a journey full of youthful vigor, always looking forward to the surprise around the corner that 4Real will pop up with next. He is not only gifted but is himself a gift from God. Larry, it does my heart good to know you are in my corner and even though you may be away, you are never far. May your moccasins make happy tracks in many snows, and the rainbow always touch your shoulder;-)

I ran into Larry Bro's Image-Nation and was greeted with a wonder deer in a photo entitled “visitor” which was also the first photo I commented on. Larry is that little wonder deer who has led me leap around in his magnificent Kirkingdom full of an artist's sensitivity and creativity. Something very unique about his Image-Nation is that one always feels his tender presence just like the little deer that would turn around to check if you are missing your path from time to time. In other words, one feels his art works caring as if caring for the most fragile and vulnerable souls, thus healing; yet eloquent in their quiet artistic pursuits for perfection. As of lately, I've observed this wonder deer is leaping in a new dimension. I won't even worry if he should leap out of the frames, because there is no frame for the leap of art.
