Beautiful!
DAYDREAMING
Jo Ann Tomaselli ~ Fine Art Photography
Dense fog rolled over the Intracoastal Waterway and the cloud-filled blue sky and glass-smooth water mirrored each other so perfectly that except for a thin strip of brown marsh, it was difficult to tell where the sky ended and the water began.
This extraordinary mist filled daydream lasted for hours and with familiar boundaries blurred, I felt as if I’d entered an entirely new terrain; as if I’d been lifted beyond this world and settled on another planet. This mystical-magical ambiance brought to mind esoteric writings of mystics & scientists on the nature of reality and how a split-second moment of in-sight can shift perceptions of time and matter.
Albert Einstein, when talking about the subject of the mystical, had this to say:
“The most beautiful and most profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical…
To know that what is…

Amazing colors!
A colorful flight of fancy into an abstract realm is what this picture reminds me of. When I first took the photograph I saw arrows for some reason. Two years later I am looking at it and not seeing arrows anymore?
What do you see here in this abstract photograph?

This picture started out as a picture of handblown glass created by Garth Mudge of Glassworks. Glassworks is located downtown Winthrop Wa (Washington State), in the beautiful Methow Valley. The Methow is a small jewel of an area not too far from Seattle in the Pacific Northwest. Okanogan County is such a great place to live for all of the sunshine and outdoors recreation.
It was taken with a Macro lens and is a very small section of the overall object. I am exploring hand blown glass at a macro level in the hopes of creating fine…

ABRACADABRA: SEE-WHAT-I-SEE
SEE WHAT I SEE
Jo Ann Tomaselli ~ Fine Art Photography
“The normal limits of the human vision are not the limits of the universe.
There are other worlds than that which our senses reveal to us.”
Sri Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan
Do you know the meaning of the word Abracadabra?
You know, that spellbinding word magicians utter when pulling a rabbit out of a hat?
It meansit is created as it is spoken.
Now wouldn’t it be cool if, as our Indian philosopher suggests,
we all possess the capacity
of infinite insight into our limitless universe?
And the only prerequisite is we remember this is so?
Today I’m dispatching a little Abracadabra your way.
Please feel free to use it indiscriminately
while out exploring the Universe.

Give light, and the darkness will disappear of itself. ~Desiderius Erasmus
I see a branch of light extending to all of the darkness in the world. Bright enough to gain the attention of all the souls in the world. A brilliant and welcoming invitation to another way of thinking and a chance to rest for a minute and enjoy the colors……
This picture was part of a commissioned series created for a local Hotel.
