The Genius of Photography

I’m sitting in my living room enjoying the deepening snow outside (16″+) and browsing the net. I stumbled across this video on YouTube about the genius of photography and felt it was well worth sharing with my photographer friends. Enjoy

Maybe later I’ll post a picture of the snowy scene outside.

The Gift of The Unknown

As our culture changes, Walter Brueggemann has observed, we must restate eternal truths in order for them to remain truthful. For the faithful, the artistic imagination can safeguard the strangeness and newness of the gospel, preserving it from domestication by our ideologies and culture. This year, the Trinity Arts Conference theme urges us to curiosity and courage as we approach the changes essential to vibrant art.

Each year the Trinity Arts Conference draws filmmakers, journalists, actors, writers, poets, composers, visual artists, dancers, and musicians for three days of workshops, seminars, lectures, readings, exhibitions, and performances. We’ll meet in the congenial and relaxed atmosphere of the University of Dallas, a wooded cloister of studios, classrooms, auditoriums, and galleries.

The above was taken from their brochure

When I found I had crossed that line, [on her first escape from slavery, 1845] I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person. There was such a glory over everything.

– Harriet Tubman (1820?-1913) to her biographer, Sarah H. Bradford, c. 1868

Don’t forget February is Black History Month.
