Human Nature

The photographs by Barbara Bosworth are stunning. While looking at these photos I get a sense of contemplation, passage of time and a connection to the natural world. They capture long, silent pauses as well as fleeting moments in life. Her work is truly inspiring and deserves a second, third and even fourth look. Take your time to really soak them in here.

    I really like that arm stretched out on the table, palm up. Something about it is quite touching.

    I saw an exhibition by her in the Smithsonian - I took a couple of photos - I should send them to you because they are amazing (her photos, not my photos of them.)

    I thought the first one was Jane Goodall. I love the outstretched arm.
