The hour is striking so close above me,
so clear and sharp,
that all my senses ring with it.
I feel it now: there's a power in me
to grasp and give shape to my world.
I know that nothing has ever been real without my beholding it.
All becoming has needed me.
My looking ripens things
and they come toward me, to meet and be met.- Rainer Maria Rilke
This Sunday October 4th in Salt Lake City I'm creating,
"Hands Holding Things"
Documenting your precious singular hand(s) holding an object of desire, fascination, yearning, becoming, memory
...baby tooth, last photo, remnant, meal/spice/flour/cup, strand of hair/grass, shard of light/glass, tech, fleck...
Each $88 session includes:
- 1 carefully seen and co-created image shot on detail rich film.
- 1 5x7 print on your choice of Aquarelle watercolor or Smooth Matte fine art paper.
I'll bring samples for you to touchy-feel in person…
I'll add 1 more November weekend date with enough interest. If this Sunday doesn't work but you’re wanting to book- lemme know xoxo
