Passing Friends by Gordon Miller

"Passing Friends" Original oil 22" x 28" by Gordon Miller © 1987 The coastal Indians of British Columbia and Alaska were a maritime people who travelled, hunted and fished on the sea. The Natives retained a memory of a mythological time before all creatures became distinct and separate, where men and animals were kindred spirits. This kinship with the natural world was kept alive through art and ritual , and common ancestry was proclaimed with family crests. Killer Whales -- Orcinus orca -- were another resident of the coast who travelled and hunted together in social units. Long misunderstood and feared by humans, these animals have been found to be highly social, intelligent and even gentle creatures in captivity. Native encounters with Killer Whales must have been common. They frequented all of the same waters and harvested the same resources. Pictured is a Northern-style Haida travelling canoe painted with a Killer Whale crest of Kwakwaka'wakw design.

Artist Statement:Featured Artist: Bob Kim

Featured Artist: Bob Kim

Bob Kim captures the essence of everpresent natural beauty and our primordial connection to it. He creates images that transcend the limits of camera and film, a vision of nature’s panoramic grandeur, timeless and unspoiled. His artistry is a unique combination of the camera’s eye and the mind’s envision. It is his original method of mixing classic painting techniques and traditional fine art photography and latest digital tools that gives physical presence as well as emotionally dramatic lighting, greater range of color fidelity and extraordinary details. Bob Kim was born in Seoul, Korea in 1961, and moved to the United States with his family in 1975. He studied fine arts and photography at the Maryland Institute of College of Art in Maryland, graduating with a Bachelor Degree in Fine Arts in 1983.

Kim's rendition of Hedrick pond in Wyoming is the product of over two hundred photographs, edited down to thirty images taken in a two-week period from five different viewpoints of the park. It took him over a month to create the final composite image, a result of extensive color correction, dodging, burning, and masking.   Bob Kim - Free Artist Portfolio at absolutearts.com Bob Kim, MistyMorningatLostLake OR, 2001, http://www.absolutearts.com/portfolios/b/bobkim/

Julie and Greg Kiser Photo Trek gets the credit for this post.

1.)That I am even doing this, as I chew on my lower lip? hehehe

2.)  I am crazy about starting some networking Blogs  to let people know where I am , or where I have been, if they are looking for me;) Now that is weird! LOL

3.)   Talking to myself, as I am trying to edit Journals here in AOL and find this error thingy pops up to stop my every move and I have to go to FireFox to Edit from there! Reminds me of this http://users.chartertn.net/tonytemplin/FBI_eyes/

4.)  I always shoot fuzzy pictures, which drives one of my Pro Photographer special friends crazy! I blamed it on the cheap camera:) (But now Greg gives lessons!:)

5.)  It is not uncommon to find me playing a Movie CD as I am on the computer doing this and so just listen, as to a Radio, like now watching - listening to my sons new copy of KiKi's Delivery Service:). An old friend introduced him to this lovely style of Japanese Art in films, which he would love to do himself ,but ended up giving me his computer drawing board to use with Gimp!

6.)  I don't do well in large crowds...toooooooo Greg! But showing my art in the past I was among crowds of people doing demos, shy as anything!!!!! But great one on one, I think? Or here safely at my computer, just doing info:).

And there you have it...6 weird things about me.

Guess I have to tag six others for this. Hummmmmmmmmm Now that is hard... Greg do you want to do this again ? ;) Just kidding!

Praying Rocks

The new National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, DC is made of Kasota stone which is from a quarry in Kasota, MN, a tiny town .  The limestone is used around the world for it's unique warm amber hue.
