Creative Photography in Humanities

 Creative Photography in Humanities  

Photography has been relegated to the machine. This is not true.  In fact it has created a new field in humanities - Creative Photography, which is aligned to visual arts and performing arts
Dr Abe V Rotor



Gulliver the giant, Gulliver the pygmy in Jonathan Swift's novels,
two friends acting, each in either role;
for in life, you are at one time a giant; at another you are a dwarf, 
and seeing others the same, wise or fool.

Years apart through three generations make no difference;  
looking back when the old were once children;
and children wishing  for the future within their grasp;
in between the beauty of life is a moving train. 


Image of Mother and Child - Holy Book's symbol of piety;
Holy Trinity too, with a Father God - the greatest mystery;
Prodigal Son and father - the mother Rembrandt sought.
 And Joseph?  Brave soldiers who died in wars they fought?

Community stage play of a subject and theme by local talents;
move over cinema, mall, computer and television;
we have had enough of  robots and cyberspace pseudo heroes;
life's real, we've each a role with common vision.  
   
Trophies -  imprimatur of achievement - 
you reward yourself unknown,
the one no other else can own.     
your crowning glory and monument.

Don't cut the trees, don't!
Make a stairway across;
Save the clouds that fill the fount,
We have had enough, the Cross. ~
