“This film celebrates the life and work of Laura Gilpin, an artist whose career spanned 76 years yet who worked most of that time in obscurity. With a pragmatic mind, an insightful eye and a compassionate heart, Laura Gilpin was a distinct voice in the great photographic endeavor of the 20th century to define and understand the American west. Through a detailed retrospective of her unique photographs, from her rare autochromes and exquisite platinum landscapes to her gentle portraits of Navajo life, learn how unlike her contemporaries, Laura Gilpin interpreted her surroundings as relationships between land and people rather than landscapes devoid of human existence. Experience Laura Gilpin’s remarkable ability to connect these dynamic and sometimes fragile relationships of life in the west to the inner and universal landscape of humanity.”

Mindfulness creates mental benefits. Artists meditate to explore new qualities of thought and forms of expression. Inventors meditate to develop new products, stimulating mental versatility and clarity.
Mindfulness creates emotional benefits. Psychologists meditate and teach mindfulness to their patients to reduce negative emotional responses, including stress, anxiety, and depression. Self-help gurus meditate and teach mindfulness to their clients to increase positive emotional responses, promoting feelings of greater energy, motivation, and fulfillment.

Mindfulness helps everyone – and everything.
Here are a few more alumni images from Digital Photo Destinations / Focus On Nature’s 2012 Iceland Adventure.
Seth Resnick and I had a great time with a great group of people in Iceland last week. We visited old favorites (Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss, Jokulsarlon, Rekjanes) and some new favorites (Snaefellsnes, Landmanalaugar). 4-Wheel drives to the highlands, Zodiac cruises, and glacier walks took it up a notch. Every one of us learned a lot and improved our photography.
We’re now planning a northern lights, super-jeep, and ice cave adventure.
Be the first to hear about our March 2013 Iceland workshop.
