Ministract / Discuss

I made my very first contact 21 months ago and it was a lady called Donna from Edmonton, Canada - on Flickr she's bratli. So you can imagine the pleasure it is for me to introduce her Ministract exhibition!

Donna's profile includes a quote by Brooks Atkinson: "The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking - and looking". It's a lovely quote and, in many respects, I sense it's guided her own approach to photography. How apt then that her exhibition should be called "as I see it...".

I'm sure you will enjoy the photographs that Donna has brought together for this exhibition - the pastel shades, the occasional splash of primary colours, the organic and the inorganic subject matter. It's an eclectic selection that's held together by a lovely gentleness and a great command of colour.

I love all the pictures and none more so than the untitled shot of ice on a blade of grass and Chop Sticks. Were I to ever find myself on a desert island then I'd love to have these two for company!

Thanks so much, Donna, for being such a great contact and for bringing together this lovely exhibition for our benefit!
