The job of the artist is
to deepen the mystery.
- Francis Bacon
There is a superficial reality that our eyes see and then there is the metaphysical reality that our heart perceives. Contemplative photography is a blending of the two.
"Deepen the mystery"...I love that phrase. For the world is a mystifying place, full of layers of meaning and relationship. Our jobs, as contemplative photographers, is to ferret out those deeper levels of meaning any way we are able. Those that most touch our sousl are the ones that will resonate with us most and the images we make from that place of resonance will have a profound effect on us and perhaps others.
