As a Mozart connoisseur, the absolute beauty of his music has been inspirational for over 44 years. This composition is from my series of images composed in 1992 on a large format 8x10 view camera with kodak vericolor III sheet film. The classic period of negative-positive photography pre- digital paint by by numbers. The Autumn color in central Otago New Zealand is legendary. Mozart's music is the oxygen of my life, and the singing "feeling" of contrasting harmony between the trees, their color and stillness, against a foreground of rushes sweeping a harmonic line of form is lovely to me. My original 8x10 color negatives have been scanned and available in limited edition prints,via giclee printing onto archival paper. One size only, 24x30in, this being the optimum reproduction size for the appreciating the composition. Signed and complimented by a hand written letter of authentication and about the story behind the composition.

Artist- photographer- writer- historian Lives in Canterbury, New Zealand, on a horse stud farm. Began drawing seriously as a ten year old. Purchased first 35mm SLR at sixteen, entered the photographic profession aged 18 after migrating to Melbourne Australia to be employed by the largest photographic company in Australasia in 1979. Formed own company at the age of 22. Retired from the commercial photographic world at the age of 25 to soak my soul in nature by moving back to the South Island of New Zealand to dedicate my life to the principle of beauty and composing fine art photography on large format cameras. Made initial studies on a 5x4 flatbed camera and Ektachrome. After studying the light and color palette of the South Island for a further 4 years, built a photographic laboratory and started composing with an 8x10 large format view camera using Kodak Vericolor III. Considered one of the finest color technicians in Australia, large format color negatives and the corresponding positive prints seemed to me the ideal medium to capture the fascinating purity of light in the land of the long white cloud. The golden period of 1992/93 produced a portfolio of work initially composed for an up market fine art photographic book. 1993 also delivered the extraordinary into my life, destiny called and Gnothi sauton, " know thyself" awoke the Kundalini of my spiritual past. This led to the discovery of a famous artwork, a long lost portrait of one of the greatest geniuses the world has known, while I was away composing in the Southern Alps of New Zealand. Back then, my teachers for quite some time in understanding beauty were Socrates, Vincent Van Gogh, John Keats and my beloved Mozart. You might say we were all of one mind as I lived and breathed their existence to compose my images on the 8x10 ground glass. Vincent's power of composition, the philosophy of Socrates, and the flight of imagination of Keats seduced my power to create, and Mozart....Mozart added a dimension of absolute beauty beyond words to the realms of eternal "feelings". I would listen to Mozart before and after composing my own work, I started studying his life and music back in 1988 and therefore you can imagine my sense of wonder the day when I walked into an old gold mining town in 1993 and found a portrait of Mozart with what appeared to be his signature underneath... of course I had no idea at the time that I had something authentic.
