Welcome to the seventh edition of BeTA - developments in photography in this issue we feature the work of five artists who featured in the various supporting programs of the Ballarat international foto Biennale 2013

BifBrsquo13 ran from August 20th to september The festival comprised 235 separate events and exhibited an estimated 8100 images by 777 artists from all over Australia and around the world A fairly hefty bunch of statistics even if we do say so ourselves The BifB continues to demonstrate itself as one of the most significant festivals of photography in the southernHemisphere with audience numbers up 21 over figures for the 2011 eventLikewise our online magazine readership continues to increase in parallel and we aim to maintain the presen- tation of extended photographic portfolios in the pages of BeTA ndash developments in photography for your continuing enjoyment

in this issue we present two artists who showed in the BifBrsquo13 fringe Ballarat photographer craig Holl-owayrsquos lsquoAbandoned Placesrsquo is an ongoing project documenting stru-

ctures whose use by date has come and gone One reads from his images that it appears the rate of deterioration is exponentially linked to the relative youth of the subject matterhellip a comment on our society perhaps

emma stoneman has participated in the fringe at every festival since 2007 as part of the Yum duo in cahoots with emma Mccuskey This time she flew solo with her show lsquoArchitectoicrsquo which examined the built environment from an entirely different perspective Her assembled images offer archit-ecture as a symbolic representation of the human form a fluid mass constructed around a solid spine

07 also features two artist who featured in the BifBrsquo13 Projections Loop ndash a five hour program of audio visuals that played continuously in the Art Gallery of Ballarat throughout the festival

Nathan Millerrsquos lsquoNotes From the Mississippi Deltarsquo is a pictorial essay that resonates with all of the iconic aspects of the deep south of the UsA The blues faith race death justice and haircuts all get a guernsey as his lens takes us on a languid road trip through the Mississippi delta

i will take over the editorial role while our BifB design intern Penny crabtree will take care of the look and feel of the magazine without making any radical changes - lsquoif it ainrsquot broke donrsquot fix itrsquo

We look forward to the continuing support of you our readers and to building our audience by presenting more of the diversity that mirrors the philosophy of the Ballarat international foto Biennale And of course we invite artists from all photographic genres to submit well developed bodies of work for consideration of possible inclusion in future editions of BeTA ndash developments in photography

And so it leaves only for me to wish you all the best for the holiday season and to look forward to renewing out acquaintance in the pages of BeTA ndash developments in photography 08

ARCHITECTONICEmma Stoneman

These works form part of an on-going investigation examining the poetic forms of human-made struc-tures (architectural industrial and civil infrastructure) Predominantly photographic based compositions are utilised as a vehicle to explore and study the allegorical relationship and comparisons between the built environment and the human body ndash with the function and structure of the spine a major focus

This series of abstract assemblages comprising of architectural images (many derived from iconic modern and post-modern buildings) explore issues of postural alignment and the anatomical structure of the spinal system Whilst rigid built forms and the organic human skeletal frame-work may seem at odds these works examine the common mechanisms and construct a symbolic relationship between the two

- M Henry

My place sicily gives me light and inspiration The square visions are like windows on reversed Medit-erraneanrsquos seascapes where the intimate feelings are fixed and every connection with real is lost Part of my inspiration comes from the theory of Kandinsky - colors like expression of states of being - and also from the big paintings of Mark Rothko - with his large fields of colors The inner invisible is first a dream a bright vision i imagined all the possible colors of the sea and the sky colors that i have known since i was a child that depend on several factors season weather and humidity and not just on the hours of day Only after this process do i shoot the photographs The camera is just the media which realizes and fixes my mental visions

This feeling finds its expressive and symbolic function in colour placing emphasis on emotion colour becomes a communicative bridge between human beings and the outside world a reflection of spirit-ual balance that allows one to ldquofeelrdquo the invisible Where light meets colour in a reversed horizon where perception of the ldquoknownrdquo is lost it is there that human beings find their innermost need combining intimate harmony and spirituality in the abst- ract song of colour and lines colours are like moods the sea and the sky vehicles of intimate feelings here they become fields of colour The most intimate unknown finds itrsquos voice in overturning what is real deconstruct- ing a known landscape across what seems our own interior necessity

ABANDONED PLACESCraig Holloway

i have been exploring the theme of Abandoned Places for a number of years and i am drawn to the broken down and derelict These places often built with great hopes have gradually outlived their purpose now lie discarded and falling into decay

Who worked lived or played in these places What happened there and what secrets do they hold Often surrounded by vast empty spaces yet still tentatively connected to the outside world i have captured these lonely monuments to human endeavour and habitation bringing new life to places otherwise deserted and forgotten

Sam Carr in Redrsquos Juke Joint Clarksdale 2005

NOTES FROM THE MISSISSIPPI DELTANathan Miller

Nathan Miller likes to see his photogra-phy considered as ldquodocumentaryrdquo or ldquostreetrdquo photography He believes that his photography should tell a story Wherever he is he looks to explore what is not obvious He believes in exploring the undercurrent that is concealed from the unaware He is a traveler with a cam-era who stops in certain places In order to communicate visually he has to stay for a time while losing himself among the people

Nathan Miller likes to see his photogra-phy considered as ldquodocumentaryrdquo or ldquostreetrdquo photography He believes that his photography should tell a story Wherever he is he looks to explore what is not obvious He believes in exploring the undercurrent that is concealed from the unaware He is a traveler with a cam-era who stops in certain places In order to communicate visually he has to stay for a time while losing himself among the people

Nathan Miller NOTES FROM THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA

Welcome to the seventh edition of BeTA - developments in photography in this issue we feature the work of five artists who featured in the various supporting programs of the Ballarat international foto Biennale 2013

BifBrsquo13 ran from August 20th to september The festival comprised 235 separate events and exhibited an estimated 8100 images by 777 artists from all over Australia and around the world A fairly hefty bunch of statistics even if we do say so ourselves The BifB continues to demonstrate itself as one of the most significant festivals of photography in the southernHemisphere with audience numbers up 21 over figures for the 2011 eventLikewise our online magazine readership continues to increase in parallel and we aim to maintain the presen- tation of extended photographic portfolios in the pages of BeTA ndash developments in photography for your continuing enjoyment

in this issue we present two artists who showed in the BifBrsquo13 fringe Ballarat photographer craig Holl-owayrsquos lsquoAbandoned Placesrsquo is an ongoing project documenting stru-

ctures whose use by date has come and gone One reads from his images that it appears the rate of deterioration is exponentially linked to the relative youth of the subject matterhellip a comment on our society perhaps

emma stoneman has participated in the fringe at every festival since 2007 as part of the Yum duo in cahoots with emma Mccuskey This time she flew solo with her show lsquoArchitectoicrsquo which examined the built environment from an entirely different perspective Her assembled images offer archit-ecture as a symbolic representation of the human form a fluid mass constructed around a solid spine

07 also features two artist who featured in the BifBrsquo13 Projections Loop ndash a five hour program of audio visuals that played continuously in the Art Gallery of Ballarat throughout the festival

Nathan Millerrsquos lsquoNotes From the Mississippi Deltarsquo is a pictorial essay that resonates with all of the iconic aspects of the deep south of the UsA The blues faith race death justice and haircuts all get a guernsey as his lens takes us on a languid road trip through the Mississippi delta

5

i will take over the editorial role while our BifB design intern Penny crabtree will take care of the look and feel of the magazine without making any radical changes - lsquoif it ainrsquot broke donrsquot fix itrsquo

We look forward to the continuing support of you our readers and to building our audience by presenting more of the diversity that mirrors the philosophy of the Ballarat international foto Biennale And of course we invite artists from all photographic genres to submit well developed bodies of work for consideration of possible inclusion in future editions of BeTA ndash developments in photography

And so it leaves only for me to wish you all the best for the holiday season and to look forward to renewing out acquaintance in the pages of BeTA ndash developments in photography 08

ARCHITECTONICEmma Stoneman

These works form part of an on-going investigation examining the poetic forms of human-made struc-tures (architectural industrial and civil infrastructure) Predominantly photographic based compositions are utilised as a vehicle to explore and study the allegorical relationship and comparisons between the built environment and the human body ndash with the function and structure of the spine a major focus

This series of abstract assemblages comprising of architectural images (many derived from iconic modern and post-modern buildings) explore issues of postural alignment and the anatomical structure of the spinal system Whilst rigid built forms and the organic human skeletal frame-work may seem at odds these works examine the common mechanisms and construct a symbolic relationship between the two

they all need a motive force and itrsquos interesting to see how engines have evolved from the slow oily primitive propeller designs of the early 20th century to the immensely powerful efficient engines of today Notable in the case of modern jet engines are the different shapes and forms that they can take All performing the same basic propulsive function but each type slightly modified for its purpose i hope you enjoy this collection of images showing how the craft and science of aeroplane manufacture combine immense power intricate design and technological evolution to further enhance the miracle of flight

Gary sheppard

Form Follows Function

With modern technology as in the natural world form follows function and aircraft design is no exception it gradually evolves over long periods of time to efficiently fill whichever niche it is allocated The more you look at details of aircraft the more parallels you can draw to nature and the way animals have adapted to fit their roles The lumbering bulk of A c17 Globemaster 111 might be likened to a whale of the skies while the deadly lightly built and nimble f16 fighter perhaps to a cheetah Not sure what The heavier more powerful and stealthy f22 could be [leopard perhaps] but itrsquos fun to speculate No matter what their role be they organisms or aircraft

My place sicily gives me light and inspiration The square visions are like windows on reversed Medit-erraneanrsquos seascapes where the intimate feelings are fixed and every connection with real is lost Part of my inspiration comes from the theory of Kandinsky - colors like expression of states of being - and also from the big paintings of Mark Rothko - with his large fields of colors The inner invisible is first a dream a bright vision i imagined all the possible colors of the sea and the sky colors that i have known since i was a child that depend on several factors season weather and humidity and not just on the hours of day Only after this process do i shoot the photographs The camera is just the media which realizes and fixes my mental visions

This feeling finds its expressive and symbolic function in colour placing emphasis on emotion colour becomes a communicative bridge between human beings and the outside world a reflection of spirit-ual balance that allows one to ldquofeelrdquo the invisible Where light meets colour in a reversed horizon where perception of the ldquoknownrdquo is lost it is there that human beings find their innermost need combining intimate harmony and spirituality in the abst- ract song of colour and lines colours are like moods the sea and the sky vehicles of intimate feelings here they become fields of colour The most intimate unknown finds itrsquos voice in overturning what is real deconstruct- ing a known landscape across what seems our own interior necessity

ABANDONED PLACESCraig Holloway

i have been exploring the theme of Abandoned Places for a number of years and i am drawn to the broken down and derelict These places often built with great hopes have gradually outlived their purpose now lie discarded and falling into decay

Who worked lived or played in these places What happened there and what secrets do they hold Often surrounded by vast empty spaces yet still tentatively connected to the outside world i have captured these lonely monuments to human endeavour and habitation bringing new life to places otherwise deserted and forgotten

NOTES FROM THE MISSISSIPPI DELTANathan Miller

Nathan Miller likes to see his photogra-phy considered as ldquodocumentaryrdquo or ldquostreetrdquo photography He believes that his photography should tell a story Wherever he is he looks to explore what is not obvious He believes in exploring the undercurrent that is concealed from the unaware He is a traveler with a cam-era who stops in certain places In order to communicate visually he has to stay for a time while losing himself among the people

i will take over the editorial role while our BifB design intern Penny crabtree will take care of the look and feel of the magazine without making any radical changes - lsquoif it ainrsquot broke donrsquot fix itrsquo

We look forward to the continuing support of you our readers and to building our audience by presenting more of the diversity that mirrors the philosophy of the Ballarat international foto Biennale And of course we invite artists from all photographic genres to submit well developed bodies of work for consideration of possible inclusion in future editions of BeTA ndash developments in photography

And so it leaves only for me to wish you all the best for the holiday season and to look forward to renewing out acquaintance in the pages of BeTA ndash developments in photography 08

Jeff Moorfoot festival director

Ballarat international foto Biennale

from italy simona Bonanno presents her mesmerising exercise in gestalt lsquoThe inner invisiblersquo a beautiful sym- phony of colour realised with the simplest of concepts but executed with the eye of an artist

And finally we present the slick high tech aircraft images from Gary shep- pardrsquos entry lsquoAirrsquo into the Blurb sponsored lsquoOne for the Booksrsquo prize for self published photographic books As sheppard states in his intro lsquoForm follows functionrsquo hellip it doesnrsquot matter how good it looks if it doesnrsquot work A maxim of critical importance to the aircraft industry and pretty much to life itself

issue seven also sees us farewelling BeTA - developments in photography editor and designer Heidi Romano who nursed BeTA from the start and established a design aesthetic that has mirrored the quality of the visual essays that have featured in our first six editions Heidi feels it is time that she moved on to develop other pers- onal projects and promote her own business We thank her for her signific- ant contribution to BeTA and wish her all the best in her future endeavours

ARCHITECTONICEmma Stoneman

These works form part of an on-going investigation examining the poetic forms of human-made struc-tures (architectural industrial and civil infrastructure) Predominantly photographic based compositions are utilised as a vehicle to explore and study the allegorical relationship and comparisons between the built environment and the human body ndash with the function and structure of the spine a major focus

This series of abstract assemblages comprising of architectural images (many derived from iconic modern and post-modern buildings) explore issues of postural alignment and the anatomical structure of the spinal system Whilst rigid built forms and the organic human skeletal frame-work may seem at odds these works examine the common mechanisms and construct a symbolic relationship between the two

they all need a motive force and itrsquos interesting to see how engines have evolved from the slow oily primitive propeller designs of the early 20th century to the immensely powerful efficient engines of today Notable in the case of modern jet engines are the different shapes and forms that they can take All performing the same basic propulsive function but each type slightly modified for its purpose i hope you enjoy this collection of images showing how the craft and science of aeroplane manufacture combine immense power intricate design and technological evolution to further enhance the miracle of flight

Gary sheppard

Form Follows Function

With modern technology as in the natural world form follows function and aircraft design is no exception it gradually evolves over long periods of time to efficiently fill whichever niche it is allocated The more you look at details of aircraft the more parallels you can draw to nature and the way animals have adapted to fit their roles The lumbering bulk of A c17 Globemaster 111 might be likened to a whale of the skies while the deadly lightly built and nimble f16 fighter perhaps to a cheetah Not sure what The heavier more powerful and stealthy f22 could be [leopard perhaps] but itrsquos fun to speculate No matter what their role be they organisms or aircraft

lsquoitrsquos strange and wonderful the way life twists and turns A path through an undiscovered country where a chance meeting can skew your journey in a totally different direction it was just such an encounter that saw my path diverge from environmental science to photography As a child irsquod always had a fascination with the visual Toy microscopes and telescopes allowed me to push natural limitations and take an alternative view of the world But years later it was that chance encounter that introduced me to photography allowing me to pursue my interest

THE INNER INVISIBLESimona Bonnano

ldquohellip A feeling that can not be seen that does not appear in our ldquovisual

horizon of the worldrdquo but is felt and experienced from the insiderdquo

- M Henry

My place sicily gives me light and inspiration The square visions are like windows on reversed Medit-erraneanrsquos seascapes where the intimate feelings are fixed and every connection with real is lost Part of my inspiration comes from the theory of Kandinsky - colors like expression of states of being - and also from the big paintings of Mark Rothko - with his large fields of colors The inner invisible is first a dream a bright vision i imagined all the possible colors of the sea and the sky colors that i have known since i was a child that depend on several factors season weather and humidity and not just on the hours of day Only after this process do i shoot the photographs The camera is just the media which realizes and fixes my mental visions

This feeling finds its expressive and symbolic function in colour placing emphasis on emotion colour becomes a communicative bridge between human beings and the outside world a reflection of spirit-ual balance that allows one to ldquofeelrdquo the invisible Where light meets colour in a reversed horizon where perception of the ldquoknownrdquo is lost it is there that human beings find their innermost need combining intimate harmony and spirituality in the abst- ract song of colour and lines colours are like moods the sea and the sky vehicles of intimate feelings here they become fields of colour The most intimate unknown finds itrsquos voice in overturning what is real deconstruct- ing a known landscape across what seems our own interior necessity

ABANDONED PLACESCraig Holloway

i have been exploring the theme of Abandoned Places for a number of years and i am drawn to the broken down and derelict These places often built with great hopes have gradually outlived their purpose now lie discarded and falling into decay

Who worked lived or played in these places What happened there and what secrets do they hold Often surrounded by vast empty spaces yet still tentatively connected to the outside world i have captured these lonely monuments to human endeavour and habitation bringing new life to places otherwise deserted and forgotten

i have been exploring the theme of Abandoned Places for a number of years and i am drawn to the broken down and derelict These places often built with great hopes have gradually outlived their purpose now lie discarded and falling into decay

Who worked lived or played in these places What happened there and what secrets do they hold Often surrounded by vast empty spaces yet still tentatively connected to the outside world i have captured these lonely monuments to human endeavour and habitation bringing new life to places otherwise deserted and forgotten

NOTES FROM THE MISSISSIPPI DELTANathan Miller

Nathan Miller likes to see his photogra-phy considered as ldquodocumentaryrdquo or ldquostreetrdquo photography He believes that his photography should tell a story Wherever he is he looks to explore what is not obvious He believes in exploring the undercurrent that is concealed from the unaware He is a traveler with a cam-era who stops in certain places In order to communicate visually he has to stay for a time while losing himself among the people

NOTES FROM THE MISSISSIPPI DELTANathan Miller

Nathan Miller likes to see his photogra-phy considered as ldquodocumentaryrdquo or ldquostreetrdquo photography He believes that his photography should tell a story Wherever he is he looks to explore what is not obvious He believes in exploring the undercurrent that is concealed from the unaware He is a traveler with a cam-era who stops in certain places In order to communicate visually he has to stay for a time while losing himself among the people

they all need a motive force and itrsquos interesting to see how engines have evolved from the slow oily primitive propeller designs of the early 20th century to the immensely powerful efficient engines of today Notable in the case of modern jet engines are the different shapes and forms that they can take All performing the same basic propulsive function but each type slightly modified for its purpose i hope you enjoy this collection of images showing how the craft and science of aeroplane manufacture combine immense power intricate design and technological evolution to further enhance the miracle of flight

Form Follows Function

With modern technology as in the natural world form follows function and aircraft design is no exception it gradually evolves over long periods of time to efficiently fill whichever niche it is allocated The more you look at details of aircraft the more parallels you can draw to nature and the way animals have adapted to fit their roles The lumbering bulk of A c17 Globemaster 111 might be likened to a whale of the skies while the deadly lightly built and nimble f16 fighter perhaps to a cheetah Not sure what The heavier more powerful and stealthy f22 could be [leopard perhaps] but itrsquos fun to speculate No matter what their role be they organisms or aircraft

This feeling finds its expressive and symbolic function in colour placing emphasis on emotion colour becomes a communicative bridge between human beings and the outside world a reflection of spirit-ual balance that allows one to ldquofeelrdquo the invisible Where light meets colour in a reversed horizon where perception of the ldquoknownrdquo is lost it is there that human beings find their innermost need combining intimate harmony and spirituality in the abst- ract song of colour and lines colours are like moods the sea and the sky vehicles of intimate feelings here they become fields of colour The most intimate unknown finds itrsquos voice in overturning what is real deconstruct- ing a known landscape across what seems our own interior necessity

ABANDONED PLACESCraig Holloway

i have been exploring the theme of Abandoned Places for a number of years and i am drawn to the broken down and derelict These places often built with great hopes have gradually outlived their purpose now lie discarded and falling into decay

Who worked lived or played in these places What happened there and what secrets do they hold Often surrounded by vast empty spaces yet still tentatively connected to the outside world i have captured these lonely monuments to human endeavour and habitation bringing new life to places otherwise deserted and forgotten

ABANDONED PLACESCraig Holloway

i have been exploring the theme of Abandoned Places for a number of years and i am drawn to the broken down and derelict These places often built with great hopes have gradually outlived their purpose now lie discarded and falling into decay

Who worked lived or played in these places What happened there and what secrets do they hold Often surrounded by vast empty spaces yet still tentatively connected to the outside world i have captured these lonely monuments to human endeavour and habitation bringing new life to places otherwise deserted and forgotten

they all need a motive force and itrsquos interesting to see how engines have evolved from the slow oily primitive propeller designs of the early 20th century to the immensely powerful efficient engines of today Notable in the case of modern jet engines are the different shapes and forms that they can take All performing the same basic propulsive function but each type slightly modified for its purpose i hope you enjoy this collection of images showing how the craft and science of aeroplane manufacture combine immense power intricate design and technological evolution to further enhance the miracle of flight

Gary sheppard

Form Follows Function

With modern technology as in the natural world form follows function and aircraft design is no exception it gradually evolves over long periods of time to efficiently fill whichever niche it is allocated The more you look at details of aircraft the more parallels you can draw to nature and the way animals have adapted to fit their roles The lumbering bulk of A c17 Globemaster 111 might be likened to a whale of the skies while the deadly lightly built and nimble f16 fighter perhaps to a cheetah Not sure what The heavier more powerful and stealthy f22 could be [leopard perhaps] but itrsquos fun to speculate No matter what their role be they organisms or aircraft

Form Follows Function

With modern technology as in the natural world form follows function and aircraft design is no exception it gradually evolves over long periods of time to efficiently fill whichever niche it is allocated The more you look at details of aircraft the more parallels you can draw to nature and the way animals have adapted to fit their roles The lumbering bulk of A c17 Globemaster 111 might be likened to a whale of the skies while the deadly lightly built and nimble f16 fighter perhaps to a cheetah Not sure what The heavier more powerful and stealthy f22 could be [leopard perhaps] but itrsquos fun to speculate No matter what their role be they organisms or aircraft

This feeling finds its expressive and symbolic function in colour placing emphasis on emotion colour becomes a communicative bridge between human beings and the outside world a reflection of spirit-ual balance that allows one to ldquofeelrdquo the invisible Where light meets colour in a reversed horizon where perception of the ldquoknownrdquo is lost it is there that human beings find their innermost need combining intimate harmony and spirituality in the abst- ract song of colour and lines colours are like moods the sea and the sky vehicles of intimate feelings here they become fields of colour The most intimate unknown finds itrsquos voice in overturning what is real deconstruct- ing a known landscape across what seems our own interior necessity

ABANDONED PLACESCraig Holloway

i have been exploring the theme of Abandoned Places for a number of years and i am drawn to the broken down and derelict These places often built with great hopes have gradually outlived their purpose now lie discarded and falling into decay

Who worked lived or played in these places What happened there and what secrets do they hold Often surrounded by vast empty spaces yet still tentatively connected to the outside world i have captured these lonely monuments to human endeavour and habitation bringing new life to places otherwise deserted and forgotten

NOTES FROM THE MISSISSIPPI DELTANathan Miller

Nathan Miller likes to see his photogra-phy considered as ldquodocumentaryrdquo or ldquostreetrdquo photography He believes that his photography should tell a story Wherever he is he looks to explore what is not obvious He believes in exploring the undercurrent that is concealed from the unaware He is a traveler with a cam-era who stops in certain places In order to communicate visually he has to stay for a time while losing himself among the people

they all need a motive force and itrsquos interesting to see how engines have evolved from the slow oily primitive propeller designs of the early 20th century to the immensely powerful efficient engines of today Notable in the case of modern jet engines are the different shapes and forms that they can take All performing the same basic propulsive function but each type slightly modified for its purpose i hope you enjoy this collection of images showing how the craft and science of aeroplane manufacture combine immense power intricate design and technological evolution to further enhance the miracle of flight

Form Follows Function

With modern technology as in the natural world form follows function and aircraft design is no exception it gradually evolves over long periods of time to efficiently fill whichever niche it is allocated The more you look at details of aircraft the more parallels you can draw to nature and the way animals have adapted to fit their roles The lumbering bulk of A c17 Globemaster 111 might be likened to a whale of the skies while the deadly lightly built and nimble f16 fighter perhaps to a cheetah Not sure what The heavier more powerful and stealthy f22 could be [leopard perhaps] but itrsquos fun to speculate No matter what their role be they organisms or aircraft

My place sicily gives me light and inspiration The square visions are like windows on reversed Medit-erraneanrsquos seascapes where the intimate feelings are fixed and every connection with real is lost Part of my inspiration comes from the theory of Kandinsky - colors like expression of states of being - and also from the big paintings of Mark Rothko - with his large fields of colors The inner invisible is first a dream a bright vision i imagined all the possible colors of the sea and the sky colors that i have known since i was a child that depend on several factors season weather and humidity and not just on the hours of day Only after this process do i shoot the photographs The camera is just the media which realizes and fixes my mental visions

This feeling finds its expressive and symbolic function in colour placing emphasis on emotion colour becomes a communicative bridge between human beings and the outside world a reflection of spirit-ual balance that allows one to ldquofeelrdquo the invisible Where light meets colour in a reversed horizon where perception of the ldquoknownrdquo is lost it is there that human beings find their innermost need combining intimate harmony and spirituality in the abst- ract song of colour and lines colours are like moods the sea and the sky vehicles of intimate feelings here they become fields of colour The most intimate unknown finds itrsquos voice in overturning what is real deconstruct- ing a known landscape across what seems our own interior necessity

ABANDONED PLACESCraig Holloway

i have been exploring the theme of Abandoned Places for a number of years and i am drawn to the broken down and derelict These places often built with great hopes have gradually outlived their purpose now lie discarded and falling into decay

Who worked lived or played in these places What happened there and what secrets do they hold Often surrounded by vast empty spaces yet still tentatively connected to the outside world i have captured these lonely monuments to human endeavour and habitation bringing new life to places otherwise deserted and forgotten

NOTES FROM THE MISSISSIPPI DELTANathan Miller

Nathan Miller likes to see his photogra-phy considered as ldquodocumentaryrdquo or ldquostreetrdquo photography He believes that his photography should tell a story Wherever he is he looks to explore what is not obvious He believes in exploring the undercurrent that is concealed from the unaware He is a traveler with a cam-era who stops in certain places In order to communicate visually he has to stay for a time while losing himself among the people

they all need a motive force and itrsquos interesting to see how engines have evolved from the slow oily primitive propeller designs of the early 20th century to the immensely powerful efficient engines of today Notable in the case of modern jet engines are the different shapes and forms that they can take All performing the same basic propulsive function but each type slightly modified for its purpose i hope you enjoy this collection of images showing how the craft and science of aeroplane manufacture combine immense power intricate design and technological evolution to further enhance the miracle of flight

Form Follows Function

With modern technology as in the natural world form follows function and aircraft design is no exception it gradually evolves over long periods of time to efficiently fill whichever niche it is allocated The more you look at details of aircraft the more parallels you can draw to nature and the way animals have adapted to fit their roles The lumbering bulk of A c17 Globemaster 111 might be likened to a whale of the skies while the deadly lightly built and nimble f16 fighter perhaps to a cheetah Not sure what The heavier more powerful and stealthy f22 could be [leopard perhaps] but itrsquos fun to speculate No matter what their role be they organisms or aircraft

This feeling finds its expressive and symbolic function in colour placing emphasis on emotion colour becomes a communicative bridge between human beings and the outside world a reflection of spirit-ual balance that allows one to ldquofeelrdquo the invisible Where light meets colour in a reversed horizon where perception of the ldquoknownrdquo is lost it is there that human beings find their innermost need combining intimate harmony and spirituality in the abst- ract song of colour and lines colours are like moods the sea and the sky vehicles of intimate feelings here they become fields of colour The most intimate unknown finds itrsquos voice in overturning what is real deconstruct- ing a known landscape across what seems our own interior necessity

ABANDONED PLACESCraig Holloway

i have been exploring the theme of Abandoned Places for a number of years and i am drawn to the broken down and derelict These places often built with great hopes have gradually outlived their purpose now lie discarded and falling into decay

Who worked lived or played in these places What happened there and what secrets do they hold Often surrounded by vast empty spaces yet still tentatively connected to the outside world i have captured these lonely monuments to human endeavour and habitation bringing new life to places otherwise deserted and forgotten

NOTES FROM THE MISSISSIPPI DELTANathan Miller

Nathan Miller likes to see his photogra-phy considered as ldquodocumentaryrdquo or ldquostreetrdquo photography He believes that his photography should tell a story Wherever he is he looks to explore what is not obvious He believes in exploring the undercurrent that is concealed from the unaware He is a traveler with a cam-era who stops in certain places In order to communicate visually he has to stay for a time while losing himself among the people

they all need a motive force and itrsquos interesting to see how engines have evolved from the slow oily primitive propeller designs of the early 20th century to the immensely powerful efficient engines of today Notable in the case of modern jet engines are the different shapes and forms that they can take All performing the same basic propulsive function but each type slightly modified for its purpose i hope you enjoy this collection of images showing how the craft and science of aeroplane manufacture combine immense power intricate design and technological evolution to further enhance the miracle of flight

Gary sheppard

Form Follows Function

With modern technology as in the natural world form follows function and aircraft design is no exception it gradually evolves over long periods of time to efficiently fill whichever niche it is allocated The more you look at details of aircraft the more parallels you can draw to nature and the way animals have adapted to fit their roles The lumbering bulk of A c17 Globemaster 111 might be likened to a whale of the skies while the deadly lightly built and nimble f16 fighter perhaps to a cheetah Not sure what The heavier more powerful and stealthy f22 could be [leopard perhaps] but itrsquos fun to speculate No matter what their role be they organisms or aircraft

My place sicily gives me light and inspiration The square visions are like windows on reversed Medit-erraneanrsquos seascapes where the intimate feelings are fixed and every connection with real is lost Part of my inspiration comes from the theory of Kandinsky - colors like expression of states of being - and also from the big paintings of Mark Rothko - with his large fields of colors The inner invisible is first a dream a bright vision i imagined all the possible colors of the sea and the sky colors that i have known since i was a child that depend on several factors season weather and humidity and not just on the hours of day Only after this process do i shoot the photographs The camera is just the media which realizes and fixes my mental visions

This feeling finds its expressive and symbolic function in colour placing emphasis on emotion colour becomes a communicative bridge between human beings and the outside world a reflection of spirit-ual balance that allows one to ldquofeelrdquo the invisible Where light meets colour in a reversed horizon where perception of the ldquoknownrdquo is lost it is there that human beings find their innermost need combining intimate harmony and spirituality in the abst- ract song of colour and lines colours are like moods the sea and the sky vehicles of intimate feelings here they become fields of colour The most intimate unknown finds itrsquos voice in overturning what is real deconstruct- ing a known landscape across what seems our own interior necessity

ABANDONED PLACESCraig Holloway

i have been exploring the theme of Abandoned Places for a number of years and i am drawn to the broken down and derelict These places often built with great hopes have gradually outlived their purpose now lie discarded and falling into decay

Who worked lived or played in these places What happened there and what secrets do they hold Often surrounded by vast empty spaces yet still tentatively connected to the outside world i have captured these lonely monuments to human endeavour and habitation bringing new life to places otherwise deserted and forgotten

NOTES FROM THE MISSISSIPPI DELTANathan Miller

Nathan Miller likes to see his photogra-phy considered as ldquodocumentaryrdquo or ldquostreetrdquo photography He believes that his photography should tell a story Wherever he is he looks to explore what is not obvious He believes in exploring the undercurrent that is concealed from the unaware He is a traveler with a cam-era who stops in certain places In order to communicate visually he has to stay for a time while losing himself among the people

ABANDONED PLACESCraig Holloway

i have been exploring the theme of Abandoned Places for a number of years and i am drawn to the broken down and derelict These places often built with great hopes have gradually outlived their purpose now lie discarded and falling into decay

Who worked lived or played in these places What happened there and what secrets do they hold Often surrounded by vast empty spaces yet still tentatively connected to the outside world i have captured these lonely monuments to human endeavour and habitation bringing new life to places otherwise deserted and forgotten

ABANDONED PLACESCraig Holloway

i have been exploring the theme of Abandoned Places for a number of years and i am drawn to the broken down and derelict These places often built with great hopes have gradually outlived their purpose now lie discarded and falling into decay

Who worked lived or played in these places What happened there and what secrets do they hold Often surrounded by vast empty spaces yet still tentatively connected to the outside world i have captured these lonely monuments to human endeavour and habitation bringing new life to places otherwise deserted and forgotten

This feeling finds its expressive and symbolic function in colour placing emphasis on emotion colour becomes a communicative bridge between human beings and the outside world a reflection of spirit-ual balance that allows one to ldquofeelrdquo the invisible Where light meets colour in a reversed horizon where perception of the ldquoknownrdquo is lost it is there that human beings find their innermost need combining intimate harmony and spirituality in the abst- ract song of colour and lines colours are like moods the sea and the sky vehicles of intimate feelings here they become fields of colour The most intimate unknown finds itrsquos voice in overturning what is real deconstruct- ing a known landscape across what seems our own interior necessity

ABANDONED PLACESCraig Holloway

i have been exploring the theme of Abandoned Places for a number of years and i am drawn to the broken down and derelict These places often built with great hopes have gradually outlived their purpose now lie discarded and falling into decay

Who worked lived or played in these places What happened there and what secrets do they hold Often surrounded by vast empty spaces yet still tentatively connected to the outside world i have captured these lonely monuments to human endeavour and habitation bringing new life to places otherwise deserted and forgotten

NOTES FROM THE MISSISSIPPI DELTANathan Miller

Nathan Miller likes to see his photogra-phy considered as ldquodocumentaryrdquo or ldquostreetrdquo photography He believes that his photography should tell a story Wherever he is he looks to explore what is not obvious He believes in exploring the undercurrent that is concealed from the unaware He is a traveler with a cam-era who stops in certain places In order to communicate visually he has to stay for a time while losing himself among the people

My place sicily gives me light and inspiration The square visions are like windows on reversed Medit-erraneanrsquos seascapes where the intimate feelings are fixed and every connection with real is lost Part of my inspiration comes from the theory of Kandinsky - colors like expression of states of being - and also from the big paintings of Mark Rothko - with his large fields of colors The inner invisible is first a dream a bright vision i imagined all the possible colors of the sea and the sky colors that i have known since i was a child that depend on several factors season weather and humidity and not just on the hours of day Only after this process do i shoot the photographs The camera is just the media which realizes and fixes my mental visions

This feeling finds its expressive and symbolic function in colour placing emphasis on emotion colour becomes a communicative bridge between human beings and the outside world a reflection of spirit-ual balance that allows one to ldquofeelrdquo the invisible Where light meets colour in a reversed horizon where perception of the ldquoknownrdquo is lost it is there that human beings find their innermost need combining intimate harmony and spirituality in the abst- ract song of colour and lines colours are like moods the sea and the sky vehicles of intimate feelings here they become fields of colour The most intimate unknown finds itrsquos voice in overturning what is real deconstruct- ing a known landscape across what seems our own interior necessity

ABANDONED PLACESCraig Holloway

i have been exploring the theme of Abandoned Places for a number of years and i am drawn to the broken down and derelict These places often built with great hopes have gradually outlived their purpose now lie discarded and falling into decay

Who worked lived or played in these places What happened there and what secrets do they hold Often surrounded by vast empty spaces yet still tentatively connected to the outside world i have captured these lonely monuments to human endeavour and habitation bringing new life to places otherwise deserted and forgotten

NOTES FROM THE MISSISSIPPI DELTANathan Miller

Nathan Miller likes to see his photogra-phy considered as ldquodocumentaryrdquo or ldquostreetrdquo photography He believes that his photography should tell a story Wherever he is he looks to explore what is not obvious He believes in exploring the undercurrent that is concealed from the unaware He is a traveler with a cam-era who stops in certain places In order to communicate visually he has to stay for a time while losing himself among the people

THE INNER INVISIBLESimona Bonnano

ldquohellip A feeling that can not be seen that does not appear in our ldquovisual

horizon of the worldrdquo but is felt and experienced from the insiderdquo

- M Henry

47

My place sicily gives me light and inspiration The square visions are like windows on reversed Medit-erraneanrsquos seascapes where the intimate feelings are fixed and every connection with real is lost Part of my inspiration comes from the theory of Kandinsky - colors like expression of states of being - and also from the big paintings of Mark Rothko - with his large fields of colors The inner invisible is first a dream a bright vision i imagined all the possible colors of the sea and the sky colors that i have known since i was a child that depend on several factors season weather and humidity and not just on the hours of day Only after this process do i shoot the photographs The camera is just the media which realizes and fixes my mental visions

This feeling finds its expressive and symbolic function in colour placing emphasis on emotion colour becomes a communicative bridge between human beings and the outside world a reflection of spirit-ual balance that allows one to ldquofeelrdquo the invisible Where light meets colour in a reversed horizon where perception of the ldquoknownrdquo is lost it is there that human beings find their innermost need combining intimate harmony and spirituality in the abst- ract song of colour and lines colours are like moods the sea and the sky vehicles of intimate feelings here they become fields of colour The most intimate unknown finds itrsquos voice in overturning what is real deconstruct- ing a known landscape across what seems our own interior necessity

ABANDONED PLACESCraig Holloway

i have been exploring the theme of Abandoned Places for a number of years and i am drawn to the broken down and derelict These places often built with great hopes have gradually outlived their purpose now lie discarded and falling into decay

Who worked lived or played in these places What happened there and what secrets do they hold Often surrounded by vast empty spaces yet still tentatively connected to the outside world i have captured these lonely monuments to human endeavour and habitation bringing new life to places otherwise deserted and forgotten

NOTES FROM THE MISSISSIPPI DELTANathan Miller

Nathan Miller likes to see his photogra-phy considered as ldquodocumentaryrdquo or ldquostreetrdquo photography He believes that his photography should tell a story Wherever he is he looks to explore what is not obvious He believes in exploring the undercurrent that is concealed from the unaware He is a traveler with a cam-era who stops in certain places In order to communicate visually he has to stay for a time while losing himself among the people

i have been exploring the theme of Abandoned Places for a number of years and i am drawn to the broken down and derelict These places often built with great hopes have gradually outlived their purpose now lie discarded and falling into decay

Who worked lived or played in these places What happened there and what secrets do they hold Often surrounded by vast empty spaces yet still tentatively connected to the outside world i have captured these lonely monuments to human endeavour and habitation bringing new life to places otherwise deserted and forgotten

NOTES FROM THE MISSISSIPPI DELTANathan Miller

Nathan Miller likes to see his photogra-phy considered as ldquodocumentaryrdquo or ldquostreetrdquo photography He believes that his photography should tell a story Wherever he is he looks to explore what is not obvious He believes in exploring the undercurrent that is concealed from the unaware He is a traveler with a cam-era who stops in certain places In order to communicate visually he has to stay for a time while losing himself among the people

NOTES FROM THE MISSISSIPPI DELTANathan Miller

Nathan Miller likes to see his photogra-phy considered as ldquodocumentaryrdquo or ldquostreetrdquo photography He believes that his photography should tell a story Wherever he is he looks to explore what is not obvious He believes in exploring the undercurrent that is concealed from the unaware He is a traveler with a cam-era who stops in certain places In order to communicate visually he has to stay for a time while losing himself among the people

ABANDONED PLACESCraig Holloway

i have been exploring the theme of Abandoned Places for a number of years and i am drawn to the broken down and derelict These places often built with great hopes have gradually outlived their purpose now lie discarded and falling into decay

Who worked lived or played in these places What happened there and what secrets do they hold Often surrounded by vast empty spaces yet still tentatively connected to the outside world i have captured these lonely monuments to human endeavour and habitation bringing new life to places otherwise deserted and forgotten

Nathan Miller likes to see his photogra-phy considered as ldquodocumentaryrdquo or ldquostreetrdquo photography He believes that his photography should tell a story Wherever he is he looks to explore what is not obvious He believes in exploring the undercurrent that is concealed from the unaware He is a traveler with a cam-era who stops in certain places In order to communicate visually he has to stay for a time while losing himself among the people

ABANDONED PLACESCraig Holloway

i have been exploring the theme of Abandoned Places for a number of years and i am drawn to the broken down and derelict These places often built with great hopes have gradually outlived their purpose now lie discarded and falling into decay

Who worked lived or played in these places What happened there and what secrets do they hold Often surrounded by vast empty spaces yet still tentatively connected to the outside world i have captured these lonely monuments to human endeavour and habitation bringing new life to places otherwise deserted and forgotten

NOTES FROM THE MISSISSIPPI DELTANathan Miller

Nathan Miller likes to see his photogra-phy considered as ldquodocumentaryrdquo or ldquostreetrdquo photography He believes that his photography should tell a story Wherever he is he looks to explore what is not obvious He believes in exploring the undercurrent that is concealed from the unaware He is a traveler with a cam-era who stops in certain places In order to communicate visually he has to stay for a time while losing himself among the people

NOTES FROM THE MISSISSIPPI DELTANathan Miller

Nathan Miller likes to see his photogra-phy considered as ldquodocumentaryrdquo or ldquostreetrdquo photography He believes that his photography should tell a story Wherever he is he looks to explore what is not obvious He believes in exploring the undercurrent that is concealed from the unaware He is a traveler with a cam-era who stops in certain places In order to communicate visually he has to stay for a time while losing himself among the people
