Mobile Photography & Art – Flickr Group Showcase – 10 June 2018
“Happily ever after is a very relative thing. I’m grateful that I get to be alive”, this is one of the many excerpts from the deepest conversations I had for many years, with our mutual friend, dear Carolyn Hall Young. I miss her immensely, everyday and everyone I’ve ever spoken to, who has known her, has the same feelings. Why is it that some people make such an impact on our lives, out of the thousands and thousands that we know now or will know, what is it, that pushes them into our hearts and keeps them there? There are many answers to this complex question and I would say it’s similar to art, what makes us love a particular photograph or painting so much? Ultimately, when you get past all of the usual concepts, ideologies and new possibilities, you realise that a true piece of art, lets us forget our emotional baggages, our weariness from life’s journeys and lets us pry ourselves away from the commonalities of everyday life. It takes us on a captivating journey with mysterious allure. Art refuses to give in to definition, to reason, to restraint or to direction. Art gives us the roads, yet not the map.
