About J.L.AbramS PHOTOGRAPHY
My Perspective
"ONLY IN THE COMTEMPLATION OF BEAUTY IS HUMAN LIFE WORTH LIVING...
For he who would proceed aright... should begin in youth to visit beautiful forms... out of that he should create fair thoughts; and soon he will of himself perceive that the beauty of one form is akin to the beauty of another, and that beauty in every form is one and the same." ~ PLATO, SYMPOSIUM
My Purpose
"THE CONTEMPLATION OF BEAUTY CAUSES THE SOUL TO GROW WINGS...
Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on Simplicity.... The power of the Good has taken refuge in the nature of the Beautiful... When a beautiful soul harmonizes with a beautiful form, and the two are cast in one mold, that will be the fairest of sights to him who has the eye to contemplate the vision." ~ PLATO ON BEAUTY, VARIOUS TEXTS
My Philosophy
I share a belief with Plato and Socrates that “all beauty is akin” and, so, for me, natural forms such as flowers, landscapes, humans, etc. and man made forms like furniture, machines, etc. and architecture are akin in their beauty, offering opportunities to view, compare, and contrast them.
