Hyper Real Zoomable Portraits

After much deliberation, I am pleased that the wealth of details held in these portraits can now be fluidly viewed online via Zoomable.

My desire to seek out masks worn in the name of masculinity, started with a working title Mas(k)culinities.

Summer of ’88

Blessings for Now, Abundance, Health and a whole lotta LOVE!

This amaryllis was received as a gift from my neighbour. I nurtured it from bulb to bloom. Seeing it evolve closely was a joy to behold as I crafted these images for the entire month. I then published  the series in my blog two years ago. Rumi’s quote fills me with awe and inspiration. I felt it was  important to extend the vibrations of love I had received via the amaryllis. So here I am, Rumi and the flower in union while I continue to share my blessings and LOVE!!

 

A very happy new year to you all. Live every moment of 2018 with blessings, Love and More Love.
