Introduction
Welcome to my photography blog entitled The Departing Landscape which is dedicated to exploring-- and sharing with you--my creative process in photographic picture-making. You will find on this, the Welcome Page, a Complete Illustrated Listing, in chronological order, of my online photography projects, beginning with the most recently completed projects and including a few early projects dating back to the mid-1960's.  Click on the hyperlinked Project Titles to see the complete online projects.  A few of the projects contain multiple project pages, each with their own hyperlinked title.  I also invite you to visit my Personal History of Photography which is an illustrated biographical chronology of my life experience in photography.  For contact information, resume, brief biographical information, etc.,  Click Here.

 About the Title of My Blog
Many of my photography projects have been directly or indirectly inspired by music.  This blog's title The Departing Landscape was taken from a phrase which the great American composer Morton Feldman used to describe how sound leaves us in our hearing as it decays into silence.  At the time I initiated this blog, in 2010, I was in the process of completing a large multi-chaptered project entitled The Departing Landscape Project which was preoccupied simultaneously with Morton Feldman's music and the environment (the threat of hydrofracking in New York State, and Climate Change in general).   Though I have never considered myself a political artist or activist, and I have consciously avoided gearing my work towards political issues, nonetheless I found myself needing to defend New York State and our entire Planet from  dissolution due to man's ignorant, greedy and power hungry ways. 

 The global environment has already passed the 350.org tipping point.  There was a time when we could have perhaps turned back the ever quickening process of the decay of this beautiful planet; now all we can hope to do is slow down the process of deterioration being speeded up daily by continuing and increasing use of fossil fuels.  The Trump Adminstration denial of science and the reality of Climate Change has simply made things all the worse for our Planet.  

 Sacred Art Projects
In 2011 I began working on a large multi-chaptered project "An Imaginary Book" which initiated a new thematic direction in my creative process with  explores the idea of the sacred in contemporary art practice.  The number of Sacred Art Photography Projects has grown rapidly in the last nine years and has become my primary thematic focus as an artist.  This preoccupation with the Sacred has been the natural outcome of a conscious merging of my creative process in photography with my practice (since 1987) of Siddha Yoga meditation.   

 Other Thematic-Related Collections of my Photography Projects
Over the past fifty years several thematic trends have asserted their presence in my work across a large number of bodies of work.  I have provided below (just before the Complete chronological listing of my photography projects) a list of Collected Theme-Related Projects  (such as the Sacred Art Photography Projects) each with its own hyperlinked "click here" sign that will take you to my continually updated page of online projects within each of the collected theme-related areas. 

A little background information
I began constructing this website in 2010, three years after I retired from teaching Photography as a Fine Art at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (from 1977-2007).  In 2008 my wife Gloria and I moved to Canandaigua, NY.  In 2012, after exhibiting my work in a commercial gallery in Rochester, NY (click here) I made the decision to discontinue trying to exhibit my work in galleries and museums and instead focus all my creative energies toward the production of online photography projects for presentation on this blog.  

My blog has since then become both an "exhibition space" for my newest work and an archive for nearly all of the photography projects I have created over my career which dates back to 1955, when I experienced an Epiphany that set me on my path as a photographer.  I have written a brief essay about that life transforming experience, and it is included here below, along with two other epiphanic stories.

 Gallery Representation
Though I thought my days of gallery representation and exhibiting had come to an end (and I was content with that because publishing projects on my blog had become so personally satisfying for me), in the spring of 2017 John Sobczak, Director of the new contemporary art gallery in Milwaukee, The Alice Wilds (who had been a student of mine at UW-Milwaukee dating back to the late 1970's) contacted me and insisted that my work should be seen again in Milwaukee.  Despite my reluctances I agreed to an exhibition at The Alice Wilds in March and April of 2018, curated by John and his co-conspirator in this adventure, Jon Horvath (who was a student of mine in the years just preceding my retirement from teaching).  Visit my two projects The Rising Sun ~ Prelude To An Exhibition and Postlude To An Exhibition.  Please note:  The Alice Wilds is the only gallery that represents my work.  Any interest in purchasing prints of images seen on this website should be directed to John Sobczak at the gallery.  

 Forthcoming Retrospective Exhibition
The mini-retrospective exhibition at The Alice Wilds gallery in the spring of 2018 apparently initiated a renewed interest in my work: in the fall of 2019 I was honored in Milwaukee during the 2019 Society for Photographic Education's Midwest Chapter Conference as the year's "Honored Educator."  After delivering my talk about My Life In Photography and Teaching at the closing program of the conference, the SPE Midwest Planning Committee announced their purchase of two of my photographs which were to be gifted to the Museum of Wisconsin Art; and then Tyler Friedman (Curator of exhibitions at MoWA) walked up on the stage to receive the gift.  Then he proceeded to make a public announcement to the audience of photo educators that the Museum was planning to present a large retrospective exhibition of my work in 2021, with an accompanying publication and the intention to travel the exhibition.

Influences ~ Teachers 
While I was living in Rochester, NY and going to school at the Rochester Institute of Technology as a photography major (1963-66), I studied with Minor White, and I also took two year-long Home Workshops with Nathan Lyons.  At that time Nathan was Director or Exhibitions at George Eastman House, in Rochester, NY; in the early 1970's he would become the founder and director of the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, NY. 

I then went to Chicago and studied with Aaron Siskind and Wynn Bullock while completing my undergraduate degree at the Institute of Design, IIT (1966-68).  In graduate school at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, I studied with Van Deren Coke, Beaumont Newhall and Ray Metzker.  In 1974, when I was teaching at Georgia State University, Atlanta with John McWilliams, I was fortunate in being able to spend three days in close contact with one of my photography mentors, Fredrick Sommer.

Other influences include: photographers Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Weston; and many painters have influenced my work, such as Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, and Morandi.  (I have created projects directly inspired by Morandi and Klee.)  I have also been influenced by writers and scholars including Carl Jung, Henry Corbin, Tom Cheetham, Gaston Bachelard; and the poets Robert Bly, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Francis Ponge.  I have dedicated an entire page to the influence music has had on my work (click here), and in 2018 I created two projects that pays Homage to All My Teachers and to Minor White and Alfred Stieglitz and Valentin Silvestrov, and several other projects which address influences, my education, and much more.  See:  Snapshots: Stories of My Life In Photography & Teaching /  New Mexico Photographs 1971-72  / Makom : Milwaukee "Place" Photography Projects / 
The Symbolic Photograph
When I was a Graduate student in New Mexico (1969-72) I became close friends with a fellow photography student, Dick Knapp, who introduced me to the ideas and writings of depth psychologist Carl Jung.  I then took a class in Mythology which emphasized Jung's psychological-archetypal perspectives.  The inherent power of the material covered in that class, the teacher's passion for the material, and Jung's profoundly insightful view of the world and the psyche persuaded me to devote my MFA written thesis to an examination of my creative process in photography in relation to Jung's ideas, especially those regarding the symbol, the archetypes, his study of alchemy, and his theory about synchronicity.  Indeed, at that time (1972) I was convinced that synchronicity was at the very center of the power of my creative process and a very special image which I called the symbolic photograph.  Both synchronicity and the symbol have remained central concepts regarding my creative process today.  I titled my thesis :  The Symbolic Photograph : A Means to Self-Knowledge ~ A Jungian Approach to the Photographic Opus.  I have outlined the key ideas at this link:  Click here

Despite my spiritual leanings, and my fascination with Jung's ideas, I became discontent with myself as a person.  Even though I was doing well in my career as a teacher and exhibiting artist, and I was married to a wonderful woman and we had two wonderful children, I began feeling deep inside myself that these things in themselves were not fulfilling me in the way that I had hoped they would.  I was longing for something more, and intuitively I sensed that I needed a special kind of teacher, though I could not quite consciously admit this to myself, nor could I have ever imagined how I would find what it was I was longing for.
The Epiphany of 1987 
I have since learned that life has a way of giving us what we need if the longing is deep enough and pure enough.  I was eventually led--reluctantly at first--to Gurumayi Chidvilasananda, the living head and meditation Master of the Siddha Yoga Path.  After I met her in August, 1987, I experienced a series of amazing, life-transforming encounters with her grace, the sacred energy known in Siddha Yoga as chiti shakti.  My experiences left no doubt in my mind--and more importantly, in my heart--that I had found my true teacher.  ~  Gurumayi, and the practices of Siddha Yoga have had a profound influence on my life and my creative process in photography.  I have come to understand that photography, for me, is a form of spiritual practice, a kind of meditation in action.  Through my practice of picture-making I have come to a deeper understanding of Gurumayi's teachings, and the yogic scriptures.  I have written about my life-transforming experiences with Gurumayi, and the relationships between my practice of photography and the practices of Siddha Yoga in full detail in my multi-chaptered project Photography and Yoga and many other photography projects.  See my complete listing of the Sacred Art projects. 


The Epiphany of 2011
In 2011, while my wife Gloria and I were traveling in Turkey, I had a series of mysterious experiences--what Henry Corbin would define as intuitive, personal visionary experiences, psychic events, encounters with the sacred--all directly related to various forms of Islamic Sacred Art.  The most important of these experiences took place in the Turkish and Islamic Art Museum in Istanbul.  As I was looking at a collection of old, magnificently illuminated Qur'ans, one of the books seemed to come alive.  I experienced this beautiful, sacred book as if it were "breathing."  It seemed literally radiant with a self-luminous presence.  The book seemed to emit a palpable sacred energy which I felt flowed into and through my body.  After that experience, a new level of enthusiasm for art-making flooded my being.  

The sacred or divine energy that I experienced in Turkey is the same energy I experience in my practice of yoga.  I have no doubt that the grace I had received from Gurumayi--since meeting her in 1987--had prepared me, "opened" me, allowed me to be receptive to the sacred  presence embodied within that illuminated Qur'an I experienced in Istanbul. 

After I got back home and started working on a blog about the trip, it occurred to me, with stunning surprise, that I did not understand the true nature of what is commonly referred to as "sacred art."  A deep desire welled up within me, a strong inner conviction: I needed to know what "sacred art" was at its most essential level, and what it must mean for me since I had became obsessed with wanting to understand it.  I studied intensely to gain both an historical perspective, but also, more importantly, a deeply personal and conscious relationship with the idea of sacred art through my own creative process in photography.

So many questions came up for me: Was it possible to create sacred art today?  Could sacred art be manifested through a contemporary art practice such as my own? in a world so tarnished by fear and anger, corporate and political corruption, and the rapid decay of the natural world?  

My studies led me to the writings of many wonderful scholars, but the most important ones, for me, were Henry Corbin and his writings on Sufism, the mystical aspect of Islam, and the writings of Tom Cheetham, whose four contemplative books on Corbin's work helped me to see more clearly the deeper nuances of Corbin's ideas and motivated me to read Corbin's writings directly.  What had begun as a simple travel blog of Turkey slowly blossomed into the very large, ambitious, multi-chaptered project, "An Imaginary Book."  This project, which took nearly two years to complete, then unfolded into the continuing and rapidly growing series of related Sacred Art Photography Projects.

When I was teaching and exhibiting my work in commercial galleries, I was shy and extremely careful about speaking openly on matters of the spiritual in my work.  It was only after meeting Gurumayi in 1987 and practicing Siddha Yoga in a committed enthusiastic way for many years, and after having had many palpable, profoundly transforming experiences of the sacred energy known as citi shakti, that I began to feel some willingness and confidence to speak from personal experience about my relationship to the sacred through my creative process in photography.

The making of of this blog and the creation of the project "An Imaginary Book" have been two very important and related turning points in my Creative Process.  The blog gave me the forum through which I could contemplate, visually explore, and verbally articulate the theme of the sacred within my creative process.  It has also provided me with an intimate and articulate means of sharing my Creative Process publicly for all to see.  I believe that sharing one's Creative Process with others is a sacred duty, and, this sharing then becomes part of the means by which certain aspects of the creative-spiritual process of unfolding approaches a more fully consciously realized sense of completion.  
The Epiphany of 1955
When I was nearly ten years of age I experienced a profoundly important moment of self-recognition that directed me to my life's work in photography.  One day, in the summer of 1955, my cousin came running excitedly toward me with something he wanted to show me.  In his hands--which he held out to me as if in a gesture of offering something very precious to him--were a batch of snapshots he had just gotten back from the drugstore.  When I saw those little photographs in his hand I knew instantaneously that I must become, I would become a photographer.

My dad was in the hospital when this happened; he would die a few weeks later.  In fact I actually experienced his death in a feverish dream-like state the night he passed away.  (see story #5)   A few months later, I received--as a Christmas present I had asked for from my mom--a darkroom kit with which I could process my own film and make little contact prints from my negatives.  I set up a temporary darkroom in the basement and from that moment on took refuge and discovered an unfolding form of Self-Knowledge through a life dedicated to photographic picture-making, teaching and the practice of Siddha Yoga. 

It is quite clear to me, now, that photography had come to me as a sacred gift.  Grace had helped me to discover my destined life as a photographer and teacher--I have no doubts about that.  Indeed, photography filled the space of my absent father; it took me out of a small town in Indiana and into an unlikely world of art galleries, museums, and universities; and I believe it helped me find my way to my true teacher, Gurumayi and the Siddha Yoga Path.  

See my online chronology A Personal History of Photography for more detailed accounts of my life in photography.


Gratitude
When I look carefully and deeply into my life, the experiences that have graced me over the past seventy-plus years, I can sense that there has always been an overarching connection between things, a meaning and a direction to my life.  It's as if I have been guided by some unknown invisible force.  Since meeting Gurumayi I have come to realize that grace has constantly been transforming my life in the most profound ways, and this recognition has made me all the more grateful for the love and support I have received from wife Gloria and our two children, my friends and students, my photography, all my teachers, and the practices of  Siddha Yoga.  

I know it is difficult for most people to understand what a true teacher, a yoga Master like Gurumayi, can mean in one's life, for indeed it is unusual and mysterious.  I am profoundly grateful for Gurumayi's presence in my life, her teachings and the grace I have received from her.  Yoga is a transforming Creative Process which consists primarily of purifying the ego so that the heart becomes fully open and accessible.  Every life is a Creative Process; and I believe that what I have received from Gurumayi and the Siddha Yoga Path is essential to any true Creative Process.  My practice of photography and my practice of yoga have merged into one life-affirming exploration of the Unity, the Oness of Being, and for this I am truly grateful.

And my thanks to you for visiting my blog.  I warmly invite you to view any (and all) of my projects listed below.  Your participation in the work is an important, integral part of my Creative Process; so, once again, I thank you.

This was my last photography exhibition.  I have since then posted all of the fruits of 
my creative process to this blog-website.
