I came from Japan and have been staying in Ximending and Longshan Temple in Taiwan for 6 years. As a photographer, I took photos in the X-L district of Taipei.\nI was born and grew up in Osaka, and moved to Kyoto and Tokyo, and lived there for many years. When I was young, I felt very empty inside, and there was lot of negativity around me. But the most depressing thing was that I never got any spiritual growth which can heal my soul.\nEventually, I arrived in Taipei and became homeless for about six months. For the first time in my life, tears made my eyes blurred and I saw the city in a misty filter. The scenery was very romantic and they were like the movies, which I absolutely love.\nDuring my stay, I met some people in the X-L district, they touched my heart. They didn’t looked down on me and always treated me with kindness and respect. The experience of being friends with homeless people was surreal, and they enriched my soul.\nAfter that, connecting with these and new beautiful souls in the X-L district became the destiny of my life. The more people I knew in this city, the more courage I found to be free. Longshan Temple is an ancient and large temple. It is there since 1973. The temple has been giving people peace of mind for hundreds of years. But, can you imagination the number of slums there? Prostitutes on the streets, street goons and homeless people around there? For me, this is the most SPECIAL area in Taipei.\nWith time I realized that my fate is to showcase the power of the city through lens and films. The city that has given me courage and purpose. That inspires me to I keep taking photographs in the X-L area and connecting with more spirited souls which enriches my own soul. As Roland Barthes, a French literary theorist, philosopher, and critic, once said 「that-has-been」 in his book called「Camera Lucida」, I would like to touch more spirits and souls of people there by camera.\nI believe there are many lost stars in the world. Life is very short. Through the photographs of the X-L area, we can see no matter how terrible and chaotic lives people live, they are still full of life and courageous, and are fighting every day to discover themselves.\nWho am I? I am Takashi Okamoto. I take photographs in the X-L area. The young person is my past and the old person is my future, and I am full of courage through the lens because of them.

His refined black-and-white photographs document scenes of the American West of the past four decades, revealing the impact of human activity on the last vestiges of wilderness and open space. Although often devoid of human subjects, or sparsely populated, Adams’s photographs capture the physical traces of human life: a garbage-strewn roadside, a clear-cut forest, a half-built house. An underlying tension in Adams’s body of work is the contradiction between landscapes visibly transformed or scarred by human presence and the inherent beauty of light and land rendered by the camera. Adams’s complex photographs expose the hollowness of the nineteenth-century American doctrine of Manifest Destiny, expressing somber indignation at the idea (still alive in the twenty-first century) that the West represents an unlimited natural resource for human consumption. But his work also conveys hope that change can be effected, and it speaks with joy of what remains glorious in the West. Adams received a BA from the University of Redlands in California and a PhD in English from the University of Southern California. He has received numerous awards, including a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Award (1994); the Spectrum International Prize for Photography (1995); and the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize (2006).

Over the last two years, I have dedicated my time to capturing and revealing the secrets of the night sky and Milky Way, in particular. I have spent countless hours during the night alone, but not lonely under the night’s sky from February until late October.\n\nThe calmness and solitude that gives the night make me feel humble and tranquilized staying under the stars. So many people have never seen the Milky Way with their own eyes, which is a pity because standing under the Milky Way arc in a warm summer night is an experience that you will never forget. Thanks to my light-sensitive camera, we can see a level of detail from the night sky that we can’t see with our naked eyes. In addition to what the night’s sky offers us, I love to add a personal story in the foreground and combine them in one image.\n\nAstrophotography is a complex hobby, and you need to take into consideration lots of factors, efforts, and planning to achieve some results. You can’t just go out and shoot. You need to have the right gear including a good camera and a fast lens. You have to wait for the new moon when the sky is dark enough, travel far away from the city, and the light pollution areas, which is a major problem for night sky observation. Also, you need to wait for the perfect weather conditions - for a clear, cloudless sky. Finding a perfect location, make a good composition, and start to shoot, spending a few hours under the night sky, alone.\n\nIf you are lucky enough to have all these conditions, you will finally have some images to work on, and this is where the real work starts! This is where the post process starts by extracting the details and colours your camera managed to capture. This is the point where photographers add their personal touch, adding their heart and soul into their art.\n\nThis is the stage where the secrets from the night sky are revealed and we can enjoy the infinity beauties of it, such as Milky Way’s core. This is visible only for a certain period during the year, depending on your location, or the fantastic nebulas or other galaxies. This is the wisdom of the stars, which has been there long before the human race and will remain long after me and my kids and my grandkids.\n\nAll the photos are available for print and digital download, just send me an enquiry and I will be happy to help you with everything I can.\n\nLove, Mihail.","user_id":495168,"name":"Mihail Minkov","website":"www.fineartshot.com"},{"id":57444,"bio":"Santander, 1970.

In that time he returned to analog photography, producing a visual account being stranded in Europe due to the global pandemic.

In those first pictures she saw something unfamiliar and exciting. There was a newly transformed world of possibilities. The nature of water is infinite and in a constant state of flux. It struck her that through those pictures she captured fleeting moments of perfect harmony that were as temporal as the life of a bubble.\n\nToday Glaser still finds herself drawn to subjects in and around water. Florida’s rivers, springs and swamps as well as the sharks and rays in the Pacific waters off of the Americas, have become pure obsessions.\n\nBorn in Pittsburgh PA, Karen grew up in a sea of academics – “dad was a world-renowned instructional psychologist”. Glaser says, “how I started doing this kind of photography, diving and crawling around in the mud and muck, I may never completely understand. But I think it has to do with a gut feeling that with all the intellectual discourse around me growing up there was a more visceral, tangible substance at the foundation of it all and I was going to be there to experience it”.\n\nKaren Glaser has an MFA in photography and continues an active photographic practice, She as taught lectured and given workshops for many years. Glaser’s pictures are in several museum, corporate and private collections. Selected honors include a Midwest/National Endowment for the Arts Visual Arts Regional Fellowship, an Artist in Residence award, Everglades National Park, FL and a second Artist in Residence award at Big Cypress National Preserve, FL. She was chosen to be the Photographer Laureate, in 2010 for the City of Tampa, FL.

Nano’s father is of Sundanese Javanese descent, born in Bandung District, and grew up in Banjarnegara District, Central Java in a veteran, religious family. Even though Nano came from a Muslim family, Nano underwent his elementary and middle education at a Catholic school in Bogor. He learned to be tolerant, value different opinions, and socialize in the school’s pluralistic setting. After graduating high school, Nano could not continue to higher education and so went on to work at a medicinal store near his house. A year later, in 1994, Nano continued his education at a vocational higher learning institution in Bandung, West Java, majoring in hospitality and tourism and succeeded in gaining his diploma 3 years later. His passion for keeping on learning brought Nano to enroll at the Economic Faculty of a state university in Jakarta in 2001 whilst working at an education-focused foundation. Nano achieved his bachelor’s degree in economics in 2004. \nNano’s hospitality and tourism education led him to start his career as a hotelier, a trainee at a Singaporean hotel for 6 months in 1996. Thus, working there was his first experience at the regional level and interacting with the global community. Upon graduating from his vocational education in 1998 in Bandung, Nano worked at a service apartment in Jakarta as a Housekeeper. But God had other plans. Nano was forced to leave his employment as the apartment had to reduce its workforce due to political situations and conditions. In the following months, Nano had the opportunity to work as a part-time receptionist at an education-focused foundation in South Jakarta. During that time, Nano slowly gained insights and interest in learning and exploring a career in the not-for-profit and social development sector. Nano spent 9 years there and went on to commence his career journey at numerous nonprofit and philanthropic organizations such as Putera Sampoerna Foundation, Ancora Foundation, Indonesian International Education Foundation, JAPFA Foundation, and Tanoto Foundation; all the while remaining active in various community development and humanitarian projects at national, regional, and international levels. His work demanded many business trips and interactions with parties that were assorted socially, culturally, and geographically and honed his journalistic, human interest, social and documentary photography skills.

In the name of art and poetry, I try to distort and transform all the encounterings granted onto the Wheel of Fortune: be it happy or sad, virtue or fault; I endeavour to extract and purify the quintessence of my experiences by the Alchemy of Images, mixing with hopes, prophecies, rhapsodies, lies and Wahrheit — even discovering and finding the inner light and holy cores in the darkest, the lowest and the most spleen objects, breathing means of existence into them, then fighting against hunger, poverty, coldness, death and all the enemies of wonders in our life.\n\nMy multilingual educational experience has granted me an international perspective, an understanding of diverse cultures based on different languages and an ability of transcultural communication. In my journey of creation, I feel myself have been acting as a bridge linking tradition of East Asia with the new thinkings and philosophy of the West. My art practice is deeply rooted in the cultural heritage of my ancestors while still connected with modern ideology in the context of contemporary global art. The inspiration and theme of my artworks are usually intrigued by some conjunctions and clashes of the East and the West. The juxtaposition of the diverse and different cultural sources, which I can quote and borrow freely, certainly contributes a lot to my creation.\n\nIn recent years, since the union of my soulmate, my wife and my creative partner, Coral, ‘Amour (Love)’ has been the most important keyword of my creation. Through love, I have infused my art concept and passion of my life into an integrated, inseparable unity of lifetime’s artwork.

Portraits and stories reveal the daily struggles of living with post-traumatic stress faced by many service members after returning home from military service. Participating veterans talk about the challenges they face in their quest to find a “new normal” with the aid of their faithful service dogs. The project focuses on the healing power of the human-canine bond.\nTopaz was initially drawn to this subject as she learned about the plight of returning veterans, recalling her peers’ homecoming from Vietnam, as well as her deep connection and love for animals. In turn, this work has opened up a personal healing journey. The veterans’ stories have stirred up childhood memories of her own father, a tail gunner in Europe during World War II. Topaz now realizes he had all the symptoms of post-traumatic stress.\nImages and stories from HEAL! have been exhibited at Rhythmix Cultural Works in the show “Veterans Voices” (2013), at the San Francisco Public Library (2014), and at the San Francisco Public Library Children’s Center (2015). Since 2014 her short documentary film “Veterans Speak About PTSD” has been the Official Selection of sixteen film festivals including the GI Film Festival (DC), the Peace on Earth Film Festival (Chicago), the FilmShift Festival (Somerville, MA), and the San Francisco Veterans Film Festival. The film was also featured at the 1st annual Service Dog Education \u0026amp; Awareness Conference, 2015, Chicago.\nPreviously, Topaz spent several years creating “SILVER: A State of Mind,” a black and white photography series about women and aging that features 52 remarkable women. SILVER was exhibited for a year at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and featured internationally in newspapers from The New York Times to the Times of India, on blogs about women, as well as on NPR’s Forum program.  Through events and social media, SILVER continues to spark a lively dialog around the challenges of aging.\nTopaz’s monograph entitled “Silent Nests” was published by Kehrer Verlag, Heidelberg, in 2009. It is the first photographic investigation into a little-known niche of France’s rich cultural legacy, the medieval colombiers (dovecots) of Normandy and Brittany.\n\nTopaz is a volunteer/photographer at Operation Freedom Paws, Gilroy, CA, a non-profit organization empowering veterans to restore their independence through partnerships with service dogs.\n\nShe is also a co-founder and former board member of PhotoAlliance, a non-profit organization dedicated to presenting contemporary photography in the San Francisco Bay Area.\n\n","user_id":746,"name":"Vicki Topaz","website":"www.healveterans.com"},{"id":655300,"bio":"Art has been a part of Marc's DNA since birth. His mother, a New York-based artist, sculptor, and teacher, continually exposed him to the world of galleries and museums, between their home in SoHo and summers spent in Provincetown, MA. He began practicing early, attending high schools specializing in art and summer workshops in Provincetown, and studying in art history in Florence, Italy. In 1971 he enrolled at The Philadelphia College of Art, initially as a painter but ultimately graduating with a BFA Film in 1976. He studied under photographer Ray K. Metzker, whose “composites” — large-scale assemblages of printed film strips — have remained a major influence throughout his career.\nUpon graduating, Marc worked as a location scout and assistant cameraman on commercials and industrial shorts. He flourished in this field, rising within a few years to become a renowned director's rep and executive producer, representing award-winning photographers, production companies, and feature film directors for TV ad campaigns. In 1986, Marc founded CAM, an international production company specializing in music videos, shorts, and TV commercials. Throughout this professional period painting and photography remained a strong passion for him, and he continued to practice and attend night classes to refine his craft.\nIn 2001, Marc was diagnosed with stage 3 multiple myeloma. His prognosis was poor. He stepped back from his company and enrolled in an aggressive treatment protocol out of UAMS in Little Rock, AR. While undergoing this intensive treatment, Marc renewed his devotion to his artistic work. He taught himself Photoshop and began taking digital photographs. Between lengthy hospital visits and rounds of chemotherapy he carried a digital camera everywhere he went, capturing a copious amount of landscape and urban images. This daily practice and immersion in digital media has formed the basis for his more recent work. His signature piece from this period, a large multi-layered photo collage titled \"Metropolis\" (2003), is the best example of Marc’s digital-collage style. The 40\" x 72\" piece comprises over fifty layers of images merged with hand-painted elements.\nIn 2003, Marc was invited to his first group show, at the Agora Gallery in Chelsea. He has been included in multiple juried award shows both nationally and internationally, including Silvermine, Art in the Northeast, The Spectrum Show, and the Faber Birren National Color Award Show.\nFor Marc, art has always been about process and catharsis. He is drawn to the tension between the organic and spontaneous generation of an image, and the meticulous, exploratory practice of augmentation as a form of metamorphosis and rebirth. He appreciates the ubiquity and accessibility of digital media, which he sees as both humbling and as a constant challenge, to tease the meaning out of images, layering them together to create something that wasn’t there before, making them into something more than themselves.","user_id":654716,"name":"Marc VanDermeer","website":"www.marcvandermeer.net"},{"id":681971,"bio":"","user_id":681387,"name":"Кока Ланг","website":"cherrydeck.com/profile/photo_lang"},{"id":170617,"bio":"My work has been included in seven Pennsylvania “Art of the State” exhibitions; juried exhibits at the New York Center for Photographic Arts, NYC; Darkroom Gallery, Vermont; PhotoPlace Gallery, Vermont; the Pennsylvania Center for Photography; the Southeast Center for Photography; the Midwest Center for Photography; “InVision” Juried Exhibition at the Banana Factory Arts Center, Bethlehem, Pa., and \"FOCUS\" Juried exhibit at the Delaplaine Art Center, Frederick, Md. and numerous solo showings.

Artists with wonderful concepts seemed to fall short in materializing them and on the other hand, some artworks were visually pleasing but lacked substance. This observation led me to interrogate the relationship between aesthetic beauty, concept and the manifestation of these two aspects. \n\nAesthetic beauty, in particular, raised many questions for me given my experience in commercial photography. I have always thought of mainstream interpretations of 'beauty' to be a limited social construct signifying only a fraction of its true nature. Conversely, I believe in art's potential to embody a deeper kind of beauty that can evoke a subjective response that is both physical and emotional. \n\nMoreover, I hoped to explore how photographs can exist as artistic objects that occupy physical space in a digital age where photography is often a mere tool for communicating data and information. Furthermore, I wondered how photographs could be 'timeless' within an increasingly fast-paced modern culture, and how it might be possible for photography to alter the way we perceive and feel the passage of time. \n\nI am particularly inspired by the Chinese neo-Confucian idea of Li (理), which refers to a cosmic 'order' or 'reason' that governs systems and cycles in nature. Working in the rigid timeframes of a commercial environment obsessed with efficiency and productivity, I questioned what might be the natural cycle or lifespan of the creative force within myself. Prompted by this thought, I began my journey into a conceptual art practice to explore the perception of time attuned to Li, and to align my creative rhythm with the biological life cycle.

At the same time, my gallery began hosting shows for The Academy of Art and The San Francisco Art Institute. It provided a venue for new, up and coming artists to show their work. Soon after, the gallery was hosting shows for established artists. \nIn 1989, I curated a photography exhibit at the Palace of Fine Arts for the book \"15 Seconds\" published by the Tides Foundation, a benefit to raise money after the Loma Prieta Earthquake.\nIn 1990 I closed the studio and gallery; my wife Malaney and I bought a home in Noe Valley, adopted 2 boys, 2 dogs, and reared a family in a house where we would spend the next 22 years. I worked from home, shooting assignments on location. I also started a company, Virtual Vision 360, photographing homes for real estate companies and producing virtual tours, which I still do today.\nIn October of 2012, our family moved to Marin.

She received a Master’s Degree in Photography at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent in 2009. Her early colour photography work is the result of a unique approach: she captures the privacy of people whom she meets by chance and she gets to invite her into their homes. She captures indescribable, fragile and intense moments, always with kindness.\n\nFor the Ou Menya series, the young artist travelled for three months in Russia, to remote villages, guided by the Trans-Siberian Railway. This work won her several awards, including the Magnum Expression Award in 2009. Her first book, \"Ou Menya\", was published by Lannoo (Belgium) in 2011.\n\nFor a similar long-term project entitled \"I am about to call it a day\", the photographer went to the United States. A book of the same name was jointly published in 2014 by Edition Patrick Frey (Switzerland) and Hannibal (Belgium). With Sète#15, in photographs taken during an artistic residency for the festival l’image Singulières, it’s for the first time that Depoorter explores the thin line between fiction and documentary. She presents a nocturnal vision of the city, with a filmic dream-like atmosphere. Her photographs convey the muted pulsations of a sleeping city.\n\nDepoorter finalized her first shortmovie ‘Dvalemodus’ in 2017, which she directed together with musician Mattias De Craene. The film talks about the everlasting darkness in a small village in the Northern Norway.\n\n\"As it may be\" is Depoorter’s newest book, published by Aperture, Editions Xavier Barral and Hannibal. She has traveled to Egypt regularly since the beginning of the revolution in 2011, making intimate pictures of Egyptian families in their homes.
