Flying Fingers

The Song of the Golden Dragon

I have spent quite some time researching this mystery guitarist 

and finally came across his "mini-bio" on his website.  

Estas Tonne is a charismatic modern day Troubadour spreading an inspirational message of the new consciousness and paradigm while playing all over the world, delighting audiences from Americas to India, from the Middle East to Europe. He is known for his unique and remarkable guitar style by touching listeners deeply, especially those who witness the intensity of his music live in concert.  

Unfortunately I still have no idea who he is, where he came from, or where he is now.

I know that he travels a lot, is spiritual, and his music is free on his website.

Most of his videos are him on the streets of God-only-knows-where.

I need to meet him.

Unbelievably sharp and brilliant colors bring life to these model's eyes.

These vibrant photos make you want to live life to the fullest.

BE passionate joyful euphoric intense angry present ALIVE

"The inspiration for this book came to me one afternoon as I watched my son, Hudson, playing with his toy bus. I was trying to keep pace with his three-year-old mind as he got deeper and deeper into a fantasy involving nothing more than a yellow plastic box and armless figurines. 

What happens to this enthusiasm, this ability to be wholly present in the moment? 

Why are these pure moments of passion so often replaced with cynicism, boredom, and indifference? 

Shortly after playing “bus”, I attended an extraordinary dance performance, and I knew I had found my collaborators. Dancers are storytellers. They’re trained to capture passion with their bodies. The often create a fantasy world or offer us a deeper look into familiar settings. They bring to life what we feel but what most of us, lacking their artistry and athleticism, are unable to express physically. I spent three years shooting dancers around the country, and I was humbled by their enthusiasm for their craft. 

These photographs communicate my dreams for them more powerfully than words: Relish moments large and small, recognize the beauty around you, and be alive!"

Set Sail

 

"Polish artist Justyna Kopania utilizes her skilled hand at painting to produce stunning portraits of ships at sea." 

Here are a few paintings from her Marine paintings series; a collection of oil paintings.  She successfully adds depth and texture into her paintings by not holding back on her paints.  She uses her strokes to move the painting and the audience can see this clearly.  

Makes you want to reach out and touch the painting. 

Fall into it.   Fall away.
