Art…
Art is both love and friendship and
understanding:
the desire to give.
It is not charity, which is the giving
of things.
It is more than kindness, which is
the giving of self.
It is both taking and giving of beauty, the turning
out to the light of the inner folds of the awareness
of the spirit.
It is the recreation on another plane of
the realities of the world;
The tragic and wonderful realities of earth
and men…
and all the interrelations
of these.
(words: Ansel Adams)

Thanks so very much, Sriram, for the giving of your spirit and soul here — your art, Ansel Adams’ words, the peace and beauty — so very lovely. The elegance of your photos is sublime.

Jet Eliot said so well about your Art post. The lights of your photos said gracefully of the light inner of an artist (you). All are elegantly presented. Thank you, Mr. Sriram for the “giving of self”.

How you do what you do has me sitting here in absolute awe. I do not know how long I’ve been here, and I do not care for in immersing myself in your art, I am transformed into Light. Phenomenal images, Sriram! The grace, the sublime messages, the softness, all intertwined with Ansel Adams’ wisdom all have me floating on a cloud somewhere. You create magic. Thank you for sharing yourself. It is quite the honor to be here right now. ❤

It’s so true, art is more than what we can see! That’s a lovely post and your photos are amazing! I’m currently running a poll about which kind of art inspires us, if you have time to share your answer, that would be awesome!

These pictures are so lovely. Your words are absolutely inspiring. I have a few photos of water on my own blog (https://acousticpaint.wordpress.com/2017/02/20/photographing-water-droplets/) and would be honored if you could look at it.
