| | | | - I of The Beholder Fine Art Photography by Susan Peik
- Images that convey The Wisdom and inherent Beauty of Nature, Art, Humanity, The Essence of The Subject, and Life as a creative Mystery, a Mirror, a "Guided" Journey, and Loving, Breathing Adventure...
...Images reflecting the significance of Perspective or How We See and... ~The Value and Meaning of Beauty ~The Presence Myth and Symbol all Around Us ~Our Connection with The Great Mystery and The Inner and Outer Worlds
If what we see effects us and can change our mood and perspective, do we also effect what we observe? Can consciousness observe (and so effect) itself ? Is this the essence of True Unity ? Does it live right in front of us and within us, in every moment of every day? Could it be THAT simple?
These are some of the greatest creative questions of all time. Let's explore them together...

Metaphor and Symbol -
There are moments in life when you truly connect and Grace, in the form of great beauty, inspiration, or insight appears like "signs by the side of the road," if we just slow down long enough to look...

Hearts... -
They're everywhere! In the shape of stones, leaves and flowers, in the spaces between trees in the sky... Sometimes we don't notice, but they're there! Are we loved unconditionally, or what?

Spirit: Connection with our Sacred Landscape -
There is definitely more to Life than meets The Eye...
Consider Orbs and Angels... Are Angels just a waking dream, symbol, archetypal metaphor? Why is it that some people can see them and others feel and hear them, and some don't? I've found a few, just hanging out... Orbs are a phenomenon, not a defect, symptom of poor shooting technique, trick of the lens, random dust or solar flare (although they often appear to "surf" beams of sunlight). I've photographed the same spot using various apertures, depths of field, different angles, filters, and lenses and they've appear under all of those circumstances...sometimes in the same place as though hovering, even in caves, and sometimes they "travel." They are composed of Light. Further observation reveals patterns, dimension and depth, and they're not just round or elliptical. They also appear as geometric shapes with various colors and configurations as you can see here, yet they all have the basic patterning of other examples of "Sacred Geometry," like a visual metaphor for DNA, the flower of life, etc...foundational building blocks of Life. In my photos, they often show themselves at spiritual gatherings and locations that feel "sacred" or are particularly naturally beautiful which inspire a sense of "awe" or delight...a situation when I walk away feeling uplifted, loved, inspired, or at peace. Is it possible that an open state of reverence, joy, appreciation...agape...could create an opportunity for a deeper connection on a level so fun-da-mental it's beyond intellect and so redundant to our "normal" vision most do not acknowledge it? Could it be that the digital (numeric/geometrical) format creates the ability to discern a different dimension of sight that invites us to experience the inherent symmetry, order, and mystery, of our world that we cannot discern unless we are in a state of openness to...more?
