[MF] Dharmakaya light

[Steve Mack]

I too was a Pro photographer for about 15 years Lorenz; I know where you're coming from.
These days, our 'art' has very much been lost due to the advent of some amazing graphics programs - no longer do we NEED to go out in the 'twilight zone' to get good images; it can all be done by sitting in front of a monitor.

Would be very interested to see some of your photographs also.

  Hi Ted and Maggie and all,

  I was delighted to see there was some interest in this topic that for 
  obvious reasons interests me. I have been a professional photographer 
  which makes one much more conscious of light. It is literally the light 
  that comes through the lens that makes the photograph and it is usually 
  the single most important  factor. I enjoyed and my understanding 
  furthered reading about both of your experiences with light. They made 
  me realize that I had some experiences like yours that I hadn't quite 
  recognized. That cultural filter is still hard at work.

  I wanted to share images too and I can do that by putting a couple of 
  landscapes on my blog. I've made them with Bryce5 - a 3d program for 
  people like me who can't draw. Using it is somewhere between photography 
  and painting. I don't have to worry about drawing just like photography, 
  but I get to build up the image object by object and choose color and 
  texture like a painter.

  I don't want to move anything but the image off this discussion forum 
  because of the no attachments, no HTML email rule - which I expect 
  exists for good reasons. The images are here:

  Light is important in both images but in the first predominantly yellow 
  picture I think I have produced a kind of overly Romantic result that 
  does not reflect direct experiences I have had with the Dharmakaya 
  Light. It is true to the feeling of some experiences of early morning 
  light involving water, but the second catches the special quality I 
  associate with the Dharmakaya Light much better. Significantly I easily 
  forget the first image until I see it again. The second is always there 
  in my memory.

  If Ted or others want to send me an image or two I can use my blog as a 
  temporary way to communicate visually. Its new and I have few readers so 
  its no biggie. If you want to react to my blogplease use the comments on 
  the blog, not the MOQ forum. Better if we had a separate space, but to 
  keep the flow going this will do for the moment. Its best if you 
  compress any image yourself but I can compress images before posting  if 
  you don't know how.  Either way just send them directly to my e-mail 
  address at the top of this post.
