For all those who missed out on the first round of invites to view our recent work from Namibia, it’s up on Tumblr for all to enjoy.

“Art is, in a way, creating something out of nothing.  But photography, in its very essence does not create something from nothing, but it is a device to copy existing images.  Then why not start from this assumption of copying, so we can get closer to the essence of the photograph.” Daido Moriyama

« Ici c’est la maison du rêve. Quand on rentre ici, on rentre dans une autre dimension… C’est les rêves de la beauté… C’est la mystère de la beauté. »

Paolo Roversi

"Who is to say what is real and what is not? “Real” is a distinction of a naïve mind, and we’re getting beyond that."

"Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line."

Benoit Mandelbrot (1924-2010)

“The tools we use change the way we perceive and understand ourselves. Since the 1950s the proliferation of the amateur camera has allowed for the mass documentation of our individual self and our portrait. The staging of the image and how we ‘look’ or represent our selves and our body changed as we learnt in part to ‘play-to-the-camera’. Editing softwares such as Photoshop lead to further changes and to the ‘touching’ up of our image in the pursuit of ‘perfection’. While contemporary digital image processing techniques such as the auto-retouch function enables digital cameras to alter your image in real-time.”

What great expression and insight.  This designs statement speaks with strength and candour about the state of now.

"Poets and artists live on frontiers. They have no feedback, only feedforward. They have no identities. They are probes."
