Nature walks with me

I am inspired by textures on the ground and people who cause positive ripples in the world through their smile, happiness and kindness to others I am overjoyed by the diversity of people, cultures, environments in the world and hope one day to travel.

I enjoy learning through flickr through Farl, 10th Avenue, Image Peace, livhouse, A Glimpse of the World, Morela whose work I greatly enjoy for their heart, craft, thoughtfulness and the fact that they take the time to respond to the comments placed on their stream so that you can get to know them.

If you wish to make use of any of my photos please ask me first so I can decide - why ask? Because context means a lot to an artist and having a photo placed into a different context can totally change its intention. Many people on flickr and the internet are also making a living out of their art and writing so they can continue to practice as artists.

I think we especially need to protect the images of people- children, families, women, and others and not allow them to be disrespected, anyone doing this will be removed from my contacts.

I believe that art can move the heart in ways that purely intellectual approaches can't.

    livhouse, the paronomeister™ says:

    "This is one very special person – despite being several years my junior she is helping me to grow up, by retreiving things from my childhood she can’t have known about except in a universal sense.
    What June knows is not limited by accident of birth - either as regards circumstance or timing. She knows lots of little truths and some very big truths too. Maybe it’s faith, maybe it’s instinct, maybe it’s a mixture of those. I have reason to think there are other ways of learning the same truths. Whichever of those, or whichever combination, that matters less than the knowledge itself. And she knows.

    Of course what I'll say next isn’t physically possible, but can I say: I might be a bit of a rough lad sometimes, but I couldn’t be galdder to know this lady if she were my own mum."

    "June is a beautiful person. Love radiates from her images and her amazing smile. As you will see, her family is the foundation of her art. Not only does she capture tender moments of her children, she somehow let’s you see through her children’s eyes. As a talented poet, she also uses words to tell her personal stories. She has touched my heart in many ways and I am thankful. ~~~ dreaming the dream of peace~~~ jani --imagepeace"
