" I never photograph reality"- Sarah Moon

Sarah Moon is a wonderful French Born photographer (1941) who started her

 career as an insider in the Fashion World, she was a Model from 1960 to 1966,and  then switched to  Fashion Photography in 1970, she handled  campaigns for Cacharel, Dior, Chanel and Vogue;After 15 years of career she decided to develop a more introspective, personal and art oriented work, always searching for the detachment of reality.
This reality evasion is certainly coming across her images, the blur, the long time exposure, the background nonexistence at will; produced this imprecision that translates in to what is not recognizable in the tangible world, but in the subconscious level of our minds.
All photography shown is copyrighted to the artist

A breather....

It was a breather in the middle of the winter, a quick beach stop when nobody is there.
The cold was still. Even when I came back.

LIFE-SUPPORT JAPAN AUCTION, MARCH 19TH 2011

The tragedy in Japan has touched so many lives,The earthquake, the subsequent tsunami and the eminent danger of a nuclear disaster makes things even more dire by the minute. The need for donations and support is increasing as the days go by; there are several organization that are taking even the smallest of donations that will be directed for relief efforts, some of those links are below:
Red Cross
Habitat for Humanity

It is an honor for me to belong to a community which in the last week has shown what can be done when compassion and caring are the engines that propel the motion of helping. Several photographers based donations and online and live auction efforts are up and running. Donations from photographers throughout the world are pouring in, and it gives me a warm feeling, that even in the darkest of circumstances there is always a better nature within us that make us do selfless deed.

Below you can check some of the links I am aware of, which are photographic community related trying to raise some money one way or another, so if you feel in the spirit of getting a good print by superb photographers this is the opportunity you were waiting for. In most cases 100% of the proceeds will go towards a verifiable organization working on the Japan relief efforts.
