Numbered prints also available in 18x12, 24x16 Ships rolled in a tube ABOUT THIS IMAGE: I am a moody photography by nature, and it was double that as my week had been spent an introspective complication and turbulence. This early morning, just as the sun was rising over the trees, the smokebush portrayed just the picture that spoke of what was in my head. Sun just rising, life barely able to be made out in the soft mist of semi-darkness. Reaching hearts, emotions painted by the sun. Journey tendrils reaching far into the future, shadow of their trails in front of the sun. As if the past and future spin simultaneously in our minds. What transpires where we can’t see? How does the mind work? Mysterious, murky waters. Yet always, reaching towards the sun. This, this is our world. Forever a student of life and nature, D Lynne’s photos view like paintings, with an emotional fabric focusing our eyes to see the story. Brimming with heart, yet technically astute. Portraits of the spirit of the land. NOTES FROM THE ARTIST: My photographs are all “straight from the camera”. They are authentic; they are real. My decisions of composition, exposure, and motion are all made at the moment that the shutter is pressed using ONLY natural daylight and surrounding natural plants for background colors and composition. No filters have been used, no retouching or recropping has been involved; no color enhancement of any kind. To do so would defeat what I work so hard to do: truthfully portray to you the beauty and love that exist all around us. You would not believe me if I did it any other way. With a limited edition of 125, this work is printed on Canson Infinity Baryta Photographique 310 gsm Satin paper, a museum grade photo paper showing excellent density and great image sharpness. Each print includes a certificate of authenticity and is signed and numbered by the artist. I am driven by an unending passion to see the moment in which spirit shines through the camera; to be the lucky one to witness that moment and be skilled enough to bring it to light for all of us. Gifts of the soul. As in our gardens, so in our hearts and minds. a.k.a. Debra Willett
