Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) never had the intention to paint only with grey, but he gave in: In the course of my work I have eliminated one colour after another and what has remained is grey, grey, grey! In 2014 the English newspaper The Guardian declared grey as the Colour of the Decade The world from dusk to dawn has been fascinating the human being from the very beginning.
God's son was wearing grey, the colour of undyed wool, worn by peasants and the poor. The giant panda was recently taken off the endangered species list!
#SANDRA ORLOW NUDE PICS JUST FOR PAYING CUSTOMERS CRACKED#
In a region where bad environmental news is common, China cracked the code and is on its way to successfully saving its most famous ambassador. But now there is a glimmer of hope, as years of research are finally paying off. Scientists considered the giant panda a relic species shy, and difficult to breed in captivity. Found only in central China, the entire species came dangerously close to extinction. With a diet almost entirely composed of the leaves, stems and shoots of various bamboo species, their reliance on bamboo left them vulnerable to any loss of habitat. Giant pandas have a secret life governed by their nose, and their daily diet and breeding behaviours have made them vulnerable in today’s world. So secretive and mysterious was its solitary life, lived in the thickest of bamboo, in the highest of mountains, in mist and rain, governed and guided by smell rather than sight, that the giant panda has eluded easy answers, even while making its way into everyone’s heart. Unknown, and hidden from the western world for millions of years, even today they are seen by few but known by most everyone. It’s hard to imagine, but these animals, who roamed the earth for eight million years, were only discovered in the last century. Seen by few, but beloved by billions, the giant panda is one of the most recognised animals on the planet. I in turn communicate this through my photography of the underwater realm. In my case, it is the ocean and its marine inhabitants which inform my observance and joy for life. Ultimately our understanding and celebration of the sheer beauty and poetry of life is intrinsically linked to how we communicate and bond with the myriad configurations of life energy surrounding us.
I hope the images I capture contribute to the existing corpus of underwater photography in a way that energises each of us to form our own dream of preserving and creating a better world where we value and care for all expressions of life.
My intention is to capture the essence of being immersed in the experience and presence of the animal or habitat I am photographing, and to share with others their splendour and soul. Each image is a visualisation of that sublime moment whereupon the beautiful marine life around me is frozen majestically in its natural environment. To this day I carry within me that dream and very gratefully realise it through my photography. In this way, I could walk within the ocean and see them all, suspended for a moment in time and space. I dreamt about what lay beneath the waves, and how would it look if suddenly all the water vanished, leaving all the animals and living creatures in stasis. Ever since I was a kid, as far back as I can remember, I was attracted to the sea.
