Live With Greg – Season 6 Episode 47 – A Deeper Look

This is a follow-up episode. Barry really wanted to be able to show his work. He expressed interest in wanting to do a follow-up…

And it makes sense to me:

The picture is worth ten thousand words.

So — i threw out the standard sitting down format that I’ve been working with for the past five seasons and we shot episode 47 Cinéma Vérité style. Besides; my quest is to find the rules that can’t be broken and live by them.

Barry may not agree, an artist’s work is very personal to them — yes? However, I think in the infinite energy of life, Barry reaches into the flow and pulls out a moment, maintaining the essence of the infinite and showing it in a caught moment. I especially see it with his dogmotion series — there is one image in particular that remains with me; communicating infinite life in motion.

However, art is best experienced for oneself. So I hope you enjoy this off the rule book episode 47.

And I recommend checking out all Barry’s works that he has online at: barrytoranto.com.

P.S. This is a very visual episode. gw

 

Live With Greg – Season 6 Episode 46 – Patience (Season opener)

Season Six opens with someone I am very fond of — he sets a fine example for me. I see in him a lot of the attributes I want to live strongly by; mostly Joy and Patience.

Needless to say, I am very heartened to be opening my sixth season with him as a guest.

This bio is from his website:

Photography intrigued me as a teenager, I attended my first workshop in 1973 at The Naples Mills School of Arts and Crafts near Ithaca, New York. My college career yielded a BA in photography from Goddard College in 1978 and included a semester at the San Francisco Art Institute.

My vision is to capture and express images that both embrace and reach beyond the here and now. Photography is an alchemical process – the subject is the raw material, the gold is an image that expresses universal truth beyond that subject, one that makes us think and remember, and ultimately, see the world in a new and different light.

I highly recommend you take a look at his work on his website: barrytoranto.com.

Welcome back to a new season of LWG. I hope you enjoy this year’s visits…
