Featured Image from photobook, "Where does the body begin?
ARTIST STATEMENT
Identity is built upon a foundation of beliefs and concepts that are at a constant flux with reality. how the body is covered and arranged in space and time conveys our methods of communicating who we are. Taking that away in the context of art gives us mental clarity to think about ourselves without material. Through photographic study, this series abstracts
the nude human form.
This college series was inspired by the works of Imogen Cunningham, Edward Weston & Chloe Rosser. Art Culture has presented nudity through many mediums. As a result. Controversy continues to surround the subject matter as many still reject this art form on moral grounds. When we encounter art that makes us uncomfortable, we must ask ourselves why. Nkosi focuses on the naked frame in a completely unorthodox way presenting the body outside of the scope of any sexual nature to elicit true inquiry and reflection.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Chance Nkosi Gomez known initiated by H.H Swami Jyotirmayanda as Sri Govinda walks an integral yogic path in which photography is the primary creative field of expression. The medium was introduced during sophomore year of high school by educator Dr. Devin Marsh of Robert Morgan Educational Center. Coming into alignment with light, its nature and articulating the camera was the focus during that time. Thereafter while completing a Photographic Technology Degree, the realization of what made an image “striking” came to the foreground of the inner dialogue. These college years brought forth major absorption and reflection as an apprentice to photographer and educator Tony A. Chirinos of Miami Dade College. The process of working towards a singular idea of interest and thus building a series became the heading from here on while the camera aided in cultivating an adherence to the present moment. The viewfinder resembles a doorway to the unified field of consciousness in which line, shape, form, color, value, texture all dissolve. It is here that the yogi is reminded of sat-chit-ananda (the supreme reality as all-pervading; pure consciousness). As of May 2024 Govinda has completed his 300hr yoga teacher training program at Sattva Yoga Academy studying from Master Yogi Anand Mehrotra in Rishikesh, India, Himalayas. This has strengthened his personal Sadhana and allows one to carry and share ancient Vedic Technology leading others in ultimately directing their intellect to bloom into intuition. As awareness and self-realization grows so does the imagery that is all at once divine in the mastery of capturing and controlling light. Over the last seven years he has self-published six photographic books, Follow me i’ll be right behind you (2017), Sonata - Minimal Study (2018), Birds Singing Lies (2018), Rwanda (2019), Where does the body begin? (2019) & Swayam Jyotis (2023). Currently, Govinda is employed at the Leica Store Miami as a camera specialist and starting his journey as a practitioner of yoga ॐ
Our meetings are intended to investigate, together, the nature of this experience.We are here investigating the ultimate nature of this experience of hearing this speech, or looking at this screen, or sitting in the bedroom or in the living room or at the computer desk... This experience of expressing ideas, verbalizing words or listening to words... What does this experience mean? Where does it happen?~Master Gualberto ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Nossos encontros têm o propósito de, juntos, investigarmos a natureza dessa experiência.

How does the growth look for its own growth? I guess, one of the main things, is to want it. To want to grow, and to want to go on, and to continue, ... and to want to live.
¿Cómo busca el crecimiento su propio crecimiento? Supongo, que una de las cosas principales, es quererlo. Querer crecer, seguir, continuar, ... y querer vivir.
Also two photographer friends in the pop-up studio, last October.
The smiling man is from my photo group, he is great with groups and weddingshoots etc..Because of his hat and clothes I called him Peaky Blinder.. he could get a supporting role in that series right away..
The man on front is one of the men of my DreamTeam from the photo participation project this summer. Huseen is from Syria, he is a great photograper, really amazing photo's he makes.
He works at events with concerts and artists and makes the most beautiful action shots, then.
Here inside, I've been just a few times. Yet. Here inside, in spite of the noise of visitors and devotees, there is at the same time a silence which is stronger than those other noises. As here in the Pilar, of Zaragoza, so we are in ourselves. What do you look for? Silence, or noise?
Aquí dentro, he estado pocas veces. Aún. Aquí dentro, pese al ruido de visitantes y devotos, hay a la vez un silencio cuyo sonido es más fuerte que cualquiera de esos ruidos. Como en el Pilar, de Zaragoza, así nosotros también, en nuestro interior. ¿Qué buscas? ¿El silencio, o el ruido?

It is necessary to discover how to listen to your own heart, in simplicity and surrender. The truth only knows this way because there is no other for it to reveal itself. Do not think, do not analyze and do not speculate about it ... Just feel what I am saying or everything will remain the same. Here in Satsang, the perfume is from the heart and not from the head. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ O Despertar é literalmente o fim do sentido de separatividade, ou de “alguém” presente. O que fica é só esta Presença. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ É preciso descobrir como ouvir o próprio coração, em simplicidade e entrega. A verdade só conhece essa forma, porque não há outra para ela se manifestar. Não pense, não analise e nem reflita sobre isso... Apenas sinta o que estou dizendo ou tudo continuará na mesma.

Glastonbury 2009
We decided that we want an easy and fun dress up option. Gold spandex and body paint seemed like a natural choice.
Sailing we are, ... not only in boat, and not only across the sea. Rowing against what slows us, ... waves, tides, or even the simple movement. And, not only on the water. Sailing we go on, towards the sea ....
... what do you look for, sailor, when you get to the silence in the sea?
Navegando vamos, ... no sólo en barca, y no sólo por el mar. Remando contra lo que nos frena, ... las olas, las mareas, o incluso el simple avanzar. Y no sólo por el agua. Navegando seguimos, hacia el mar ....
... ¿qué buscas, marinero, cuando llegas al silencio del mar?

The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. ...You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask.”
And not to worry I am fine lol, we had a very nice day actually :)
Not each day the sun rises and we find a dawn. That's why when we find that the sun is actually going up into the sky, it is a dawn within the soul. Happiness arrives, and one even shares the sun.
No todos los días sale el sol y encontramos un amanecer. Por eso cuando vemos que por fin el sol sube al cielo, es un amanecer en el alma. Llega la alegría, y se comparte hasta el sol.
This was a strange little insect that seemed to blend in with flowers in the last stages. The mix of browns and greens made for perfect camo, and hard for me to focus. I'm hoping ozymiles or another fellow flickrite will know the id. Thanks to Mr & Mrs Apteryx for the ID-Jagged Ambush Bug of the assassin bug family.
Jim says the bug reminds him of the old '61 monster flick, "Gorgo". The baby creature was captured and taken to a zoo, until mama came back to reclaim her young. That took Jim off on a memory tangent of all the old monster flicks, and how they compared. I was barely awake, and it distracted me from getting my morning upload on flickr. Go figure.
I wonder how and why you got here. To this photograph. Maybe it was a little feeling of unknown? Wanting to know more? Like, what is it?.
It is said that curiosity killed the cat. I say it saved him :-)
Me pregunto cómo y por qué has llegado aquí. A esta fotografía. ¿Quizá por una pequeña sensación de algo desconocido? ¿Queriendo saber más? Como ¿qué es?.
Se dice que la curiosidad mató al gato. Yo digo que le salvó :-)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All your misery and unhappiness are in your head, not in your life. They are in this illusory and separatist mind; in this mind and its beliefs. Without this, there is no conflict, there is no fear and no suffering. The fear is only possible when the sense of separation is present... You are beyond the senses, beyond the experience "mind, body and world". ~Master Gualberto ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Toda a sua miséria e infelicidade estão em sua própria cabeça, não em sua vida. Estão nessa mente ilusória, separatista; nessa mente e suas crenças. Sem isso, não há conflito, não há medo e não há sofrimento. O medo só é possível quando o sentido de separação está presente... Você está além dos sentidos, além da experiência “mente, corpo e mundo”. ~M.

The Miracle of Life is this Love that is present when this sense of separation, which is the mind searching for something, disappears. When the illusion is seen as illusion, it falls, and we witness That, which has never been absent: Love, that is this Mystery. Now, I speak about this Real Mystery, not the mystery imagined by the mind, but the Love that Life is.~M. Gualberto ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ O Milagre da Vida é esse Amor que está presente quando esse sentido de separação, que é a mente em busca de alguma coisa, desaparece. Quando a ilusão é vista como ilusão, ela cai, e temos presente Aquilo que nunca esteve ausente: o Amor, que é esse Mistério. Agora eu falo desse Mistério Real, não do mistério imaginado pela mente, mas do Amor que é a Vida ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Foto: nascer do sol no Ramanashram Gualberto, Campos do Jordão/SP; Julho de 2016. ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ramanashramgualberto #mestregualberto #satsang #ramana #ramanamaharshi #bhagavan #presentmoment #selfawareness #openness #instagood #transcend #innerself #rumi #felizvida #hooponopono #meditacion #ravishankar #bestill #innerpeace #mindful #awakening #inspirationalquotes #stillness #mooji #osho #calmness #deus #consciencia #taonismo #kundalini
They all go up, ... growing, ... searching to have more light. The point is to search, as it's there where life is. Because everyone searches something,
... right?
Van hacia arriba, ... creciendo, ... buscando más luz. La cuestión es la búsqueda, ya que ahí está la vida. Porque todos buscamos algo,
... ¿verdad?

Busy times lately, and Project 366 has felt a bit like homework at points. Tonight I somehow embraced this struggle, and have captured an image that causes me to reflect on where I am. Actually a comforting outcome of today's effort. Enjoy.

Thank you sincerely for stopping by, looking and commenting. I'll wade into your 'stream as well.
I found this mystery doll, I don't know who she is.
She has real eyelashes, a 70s Dolly Parton hairdo, 12 points of articulation, a softy vinyl head, a hard plastic body, and is about the same size as Barbie.
Her only marking is "Tong" on the back of her head. I haven't been able to find info about this mark.
To be honest, I'm not sure if her head goes with her body as it easily pops off.
It is the touch of light what makes us shine for others. Even though it can take a lifetime, or in some cases few, it's the source what we look for.
... be yourself.
Es el toque de luz lo que nos hace brillar para otros. Aunque pueda llevar toda una vida, o a veces poco, es la fuente lo que buscamos.
... sé tú.
Winds shoot empty stars.
Incompetence spurts lovers.
Brutally honest, the clouds gather.
Hell lurks yet the shadows dance.
Heaven plays yet the winds sing.

So many times we have been alone, in decisions, in moments in life. So many moments in which we have felt emptyness. Even though, these are moments of maximum austerity, and of strength. One must keep on going, even with emptyness, one has to continue, even when a little help is more than desirable. And by going on, even in loneliness, we leave behind what we don't need of ourselves, and little by little, step by step, we become stronger.
Dedicated to all who may feel such emptiness. When you don't feel this emptiness anymore, look back, and you will see yourself, fighting for Life.
-----------
Cuántas veces nos habremos encontrado solos, en decisiones, en momentos de la vida. Cuántos momentos en los que hemos sentido un vacío. Sin embargo, son momentos de máxima austeridad, y de fortaleza. Hay que seguir, aún con vacío, hay con continuar, aún cuando se desea ayuda. Y siguiendo, continuando, incluso en la soledad, abandonamos lo que no es necesario en nosotros mismos, y poco a poco, paso a paso, ganamos fortaleza.
Dedicado a cuantos sientan ese vacío. Cuando ya no sintáis ese vacío, mirad atrás, y os veréis a vosotros mismos, luchando por la Vida.
... that bring us the hope to reemerge, to be again, to feel that very essence of our human being. As also to know who we are, and to discover it throughout our life, step by step.
Snow, ... I miss it.
... que nos traen esa esperanza de resurgir, de volver a ser, de sentir la esencia misma de uno mismo. De saber quiénes somos, y descubrirlo a lo largo de la vida, paso a paso.
Nieve, ... la echo de menos.

Each step can prove anyone, especially when there is some pain in each movement. And pain proves patience. And constancy. And a subtle though great strength of will appears. And soon one discovers that it is not pain, but these human virtues, that give courage to keep on going.
Heart overcomes physical limitations. But, ... what fills the heart?
Cada paso puede probar a cualquiera, especialmente cuando hay dolor en cada movimiento. Y el dolor pone a prueba la paciencia. Y la constancia. Aparece una sutil pero gran fuerza de voluntad. Y pronto uno descubre que no es el dolor, pero estas virtudes humanas, que dan el coraje para continuar caminando.
El corazón supera las limitaciones físicas. Pero, ... ¿qué llena el corazón?

I liked this one too, and I really couldn't choose. So I ended up choosing the one which I didn't Photoshop. I posted them all because I want my Dad to check them out. He's going to totally crack up!!

Great photographer, and Huseen, Deepak and I became real friends.
