“You run into this amazingly beautiful paradox
that there is no ‘I’ at all and ‘I’ is everywhere,
and both of those are true simultaneously.
It’s about as much fun as you could possibly have.
There isn’t an ‘I’, and
the only thing that exists is one big ‘I’
shining out of everything.”

Dan Baumbach is an American photographer currently living in Colorado. He draws his inspiration from landscapes and the natural world, but looks “to do something more abstract that can be appreciated as more than a document of natural beauty.” He aims at “capturing little vignettes that pull us inward to experience our own beauty. … I want art to inform us of our higher nature, of the intrinsic beauty in all things: of the timelessness of existence.”
Nicki Gwynn-Jones is a British photographer currently living in Orkney, a group of islands north of Scotland. She has a passion photographing birds, and the coastal life around, full of a wilderness shaped by wind and water. In 2012 she was awarded a Fellowship in Visual Art by the Royal Photographic Society.
