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

Sometimes there are moments in life when you connect with your environment and you see something that reminds you that there is great beauty, inspiration, and "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: Our Sacred Landscape

There is more to Life than meets The Eye...
Consider Orbs and Angels...

Are Angels just a dream, a symbol, a metaphor? Are they real? Why is it that some people can see them and some cannot? I found a few, just hanging out...

Orbs are a phenomenon that are not fully understood. They are not a defect or trick of the lens, nor are they a solar flare (although they often take on the appearance of coming on beams of sunlight), because I have taken photographs at various times of the day directly into sunlight and not, and had them appear regardless. I've even had them appear in dark caves. I've also photographed the same spot using various apertures, depths of field, and even different angles and lenses and they appear in the same place, as though hovering.
This has not been contrived.

Orbs are often round with patterns within that roundness that reveal dimension and depth. They also happen in geometric shapes and various colors and configurations as you can see here, yet they all have the basic patterning ("Sacred Geometry") of the most foundational building blocks of Life.

They appear in many of my photos, often in a location that feels "sacred" or particularly beautiful that inspires a sense of "awe" or delight for me and I usually walk away feeling...uplifted somehow.

I do not see them with my naked eye while I am there. I only notice their presence after I've departed the location, after I upload them.

Is it possible that my open state of reverence, joy, appreciation...agape...could create an opportunity for a deeper connection? Could it be that the digital format creates an ability to discern a different level of sight that invites us to meet the inherent symmetry, order, mystery, of our world and that our openness to possibility of more...allows us to see in a way that our own eyes (or waking consciousness) cannot yet fully comprehend?
