I think my religious beliefs are the largest and most important thing to me and the thing that I am most proud of. I have a faith that is strong and that cannot be tainted and I know that my faith allows me to define who as well as what I desire, all in the things that I have. I am a child of God and I desire a stronger faith and relationship with Him. I know that because of the faith that I have it is easy to further define myself as well as put into perspectives my desires. I think that overall desires and self worth and value can all be put into perspective by what we have and that we consider we have. I think that no matter what there is one thing that holds true to each one of us. For me it is my faith, but overall I think that what we have is so much more definitive than what we see ourselves as or what we desire.

This has just gone under a very simple effect in Aperture to make it slightly more interesting. This effect is known as Definition.
This series of photos was taken on a day trip with the London Photographic Meetup Group trip to Cambridge for more photos have a look at the group (link to the left) or my photo buddies shots Bobster and Maz who are both in my contacts.

Just a shot from the helicopter of some lakes and towns. This picture I worked with editing probably the most.
Our Blessing as sons and daughters of God. I’ve been blessed by God for 56+ years. How long have you been blessed by God? How do you define being blessed? What does that blessing look like for you? These may seem like easy questions to many. Not for me. They have been the most difficult for me to grasp and understand. I am very vocal and very frank when it comes to this topic. And it’s why I am so very passionate about making sure I do not squander, misuse or take for granted “The Blessing” of what God has called me to do. Now, one thing we must be clear about – I believe with all my heart God blesses everyone. But, that blessing is tailored to each individual differently. It’s how we choose to receive that blessing that makes all the difference. By that I mean our attitude, our thinking, our actions. And as many have taught me over the years, it’s more about….

No. 8, 1914–15

Oil paint on canvas
‘Thought defines the universe in geometrical figures.’
Hilma af Klint, 1916*
New Old Geometries
In 1912, af Klint returned to painting after a pause of four years. Now she claimed to no longer be directed by her spiritual guides or ‘High Masters’. The Swan series dates from 1914, when af Klint was living in Stockholm and much of the world was consumed by the First World War. Across the series, there is a shift between figurative imagery and abstract forms. Two swans engaged in conflict, rendered in opposing black and white, metamorphose into a series of interlinked cubes. The series marked a development in af Klint’s visual language from organic tendrils, spirals and symbolic forms to increasingly geometric shapes and planes of solid colour.
Af Klint would have encountered the notion of an invisible, fourth dimension of space through Theosophy and the work of a prominent member and philosopher, Rudolf Steiner. Her depiction of dematerialised forms, such as the see-through cubes, suggest her familiarity with these theories. Such ideas largely disappeared after Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity was popularised, transforming understandings of space and time.
The swan was a popular occult symbol of unity, discussed extensively by leading Theosophist Helena Blavatsky in her book The Secret Doctrine, which af Klint owned. The visual arc towards an eventual state of reconciliation in The Swan might have been af Klint’s response to political and social upheaval. She said, ‘where war has torn up plants and killed animals there are empty spaces which could be filled with new figures, if there were sufficient faith in human imagination and human capacity to develop higher forms’.
Af Klint continued to use geometry in her search for ‘primordial images’ and to convey her philosophical message of unity in Series III and Series V.*

Hilma af Klint & Piet Mondrian: Forms of Life
(April – September 2023)
This is a unique chance to discover the visionary work of Swedish painter Hilma af Klint and experience Dutch painter Piet Mondrian’s influential art in a new light.
Although they never met, af Klint and Mondrian both invented their own languages of abstract art rooted in nature. At the heart of both of their artistic journeys was a shared desire to understand the forces behind life on earth.
Best known for his abstract work, Mondrian in fact began his career – like af Klint – as a landscape painter. Alongside Mondrian’s abstract compositions, you will see the rarely exhibited paintings of flowers he continued to create throughout his life. Also on display will be enigmatic works by af Klint in which natural forms become a pathway to abstraction.
Both artists shared an interest in new ideas of scientific discovery, spirituality and philosophy. Af Klint was also a medium, and this exhibition showcases the large-scale, otherworldly paintings she believed were commissioned by higher powers.
‘Nature or, that which I see, inspires me, puts me, as with any painter, in an emotional state so that an urge comes about to make something, but I want to come as close as possible to the truth and abstract everything from that…’ Piet Mondrian, 1914
‘The more we discover the wonders of nature, the more we become aware of ourselves.’ Hilma af Klint, 1917

In this photo, I wanted to make the subject, in this case the orange, vey clear. To do this I placed it on a green table. I think the contrast between the green and the orange makes the orange pop out like crazy with its bright colour. I also used the rule of thirds and framed it by placing it in the bottom right corner, which makes it a more interesting photo.
This is a relatively small copy of Andrea Mantegna’s The Agony in the Garden, 1457-1459. This was a gift from a church couple who were moving into a retirement home and simply didn’t have room for it. It took me a while to actually accept it because I thought there wouldn’t be space but I’m really glad I accepted it. It has come to define and anchor my room.
Led by the University of Buckingham, this event series included workshops and events around Dickens’s last unfinished novel, ‘The Mystery of Edwin Drood’. These events contributed to an ogoing international project which explores this unfinished work through a reading group and blog developed from a digital re-release of Dickens's original monthly instalments, becoming a crowd-sourced whodunnit inquiry into which character the public believe committed the murder of Edwin Drood.

I found this nest box wired to a stairway that leads to the second floor of the City of Roseville, CA Martha Riley Community Library, a public building. I think the nest box qualifies as a public building since any bird that can fit through the hole would be able to use it. ;-)
