Hi all pinholers around this list ! I sincerely join Chuck, Guy, Kurt ( + the coming ones) to express my thanks to Gregg for all the "silent" work he does for the Pinhole Visions, the list, WPPD and for the quality of tools he offers to our p at ???????munity for sharing our passion.
Today is Christmas, and 2002 is soon ending. A look backwards may be useful but ""the dark clouds looming ahead [Guy]"" weight heavily on my thoughts. As I know that all of you on this list have a special awareness of how beauty, creativity, life may exist through a tiny simple hole in a box, I would like to "ask" you for 2003 to keep on defending your generous vision of life . At a time where there is more and more discussion everywhere about the status of Images, the relations between Image and "reality", truth and representation, I am sure we pinholists are "touching" the essential point of this issue. If you are not sure of that, just transform a room into a Camera Obscura in which people (of all ages) may enter and invite them to discover (= to feel physically + with their thought) what is "une image". Things are never the same "after" this experience than before! And we all come back to the oldest questions stimulating mankind through philosophy, religions, art, science,... that makes Life ! Pinhole practice opens our eyes to the essence of Light, Space, Time, Image. I'm sure it opens our brain, I'm sure it opens our heart, too I was just wanting to wish you all happiness for the future , not only material comfort but rather Light in your hearts. I have been much too long, but I cannot dissociate my art practice from my vision of the world and I needed to share it [just a bit ;-) ] with you. Thanks for your patience, my friends. Now, plenty of Light /Time impressions/expressions for you and the folks you love Plenty of Peace for our planet !
