Illustrator - Michael Olivo

On this curation,

I thought I only wanted to feature photographers and photographers alone.

Now that this blog is more than a month old, and with over five hundred views a day that is not the case anymore. I've come to realize that I want to showcase many facets of work!

Some of the work I've come across really intrigues me, it really sets my mind on another path in terms of thinking.

For this next feature, I got to talk with Illustrator Michael Olivo about his sketchbook and what it exactly means!

Photographer - Bae Seungbin

Don't you love waking up in the morning?

Personally... I don't.

But imagine this if you will.

"Waking up to the fog dancing upon the evergreen from outside your log cabin window. The sun rising; the colors enhancing the already tantalizing beauty, you take in a solid deep breath and release it back into the strange world. Your mind, body, and soul feel invigorated."

Well that's how I feel about South Korean photographer Seungbin Bae, I am truly delighted to feature this talented photographer on the curation.

Photographer - Emily Savill

In my journey to showcase new artists.

I came across the ~mysterious~ photographer Emily Savill.

Well... Maybe not "mysterious" but you know, I'm just trying to jazz up my writing.

Is it jazzy enough for you? No? Alright awesome.

Again, emily. Good. Read below. Please and thanks!

Photographer - Sandra Lara

I always say to myself when I make images,

"I want to make people feel (insert emotion)".

If I can't make myself feel anything then I have failed in the image making process.

I was trying to go for a dramatic mood with the bold, italic, underlined look...

And with the next feature on As One Curation, I genuinely felt (insert emotion) about spanish portrait photographer Sandra Lara.

1) I believe 

that the sun says, “Good morning,”

sarcastically. 

At 6 AM

he raises his fingers

and outlines my chest

and whispers, “Today, I will

shine for you again”

But when 7 PM comes

all I can hear 

are his promises

bleeding through the windows.

He whispers, “I will love you again tomorrow.”

But by midnight he is just a dream.

2) Today arrives

and I see him dancing

with another person.

(I am broken)

For me

the only good thing

about this morning

was knowing that 

there was a tonight.

Untitled - 2013

Winter is

a bare tree.

Loosely rooted with

fragile bark, skinny branches

reaching towards the sky but

they are frozen.

40 mph winds

crashing against

prickly skin.

I am winter.

And my biggest mistake

was falling in love

with disaster.

Photographer - Peter Currie

Now it's time.

The birth.

The born.

The awakening.

The first blog post to As One Curation.

And as a treat, I am showcasing photographer Peter Currie, a resident of O' Canada and a current Concordia University student.

 I had the pleasure of interviewing him about his latest series of images ON/OFF. I found Peter's wonderful website while browsing varies photography outlets such as Flickr, Tumblr, etc. I am so happy and humbled to have him on the curation.
