Tami Bone

Earth

I adore Tami Bones' work. She has several series that captures my imagination and holds my attention- which is no small task.

Tami's words:

I have a big love for ordinary beauty and everyday humanity.  As a photographer, I look for grace and truth and simplicity in my daily world.  While familiar, these are the things that elevate our existence.  They are part of what give our lives substance and meaning.  While not in and of themselves photographable, I try to make them so.  I look for what is honest and real, what moves my soul before my mind is aware.  Within that space, I am at my best, shaping what I see to express what I feel.  My work is as much about being fully alive in a moment, as it is about the ins and outs of photography.  It is about having a bond with this world, and about finding affinity with those around me.

The Knowing Series "Earth"  Tami Bone

Group Exhibition at Newspace Center for Photography

17lovewithouthopeI met Laura Valenti, Program Director at Newspace Center for Photography in Portland, Oregon last month during Review Santa Fe. I’m excited to announce I’ve been invited to show my “Traveling Dream” series this coming December along with Natalie Young's "Georgia & Sabine" series. I’m hoping to attend the show and give a talk about the series along with a video piece. The show opens Friday, December 4th, 2008 and runs through January 3rd, 2010. More to come.
