More than 30 new images have been added to the site in the last week. Many of these new images have been chosen for their relevance to healthcare design. Some of these photographs were created on Byron’s recent trip to California others were selected earlier from other trips. They include everything from waterfalls to beaches and forests to flowers. Click on the New Images link above to view them. There are several pages of photographs to view.
Byron Jorjorian will be speaking at The Parthenon on May 26th at 7pm. The talk is entitled “Missing Nature” and Byron will discuss the inspiration and thought process behind images in the Missing Nature Exhibit currently on display there and he will introduce and discuss some new images as well. Details can be found in this below and on the Nature Conservancy Website.

I have mentioned before, I am drawn to photograph water lotus and water lilies flowers and leaves. In preparing some lotus images for a client I decided to do a little research on the water lotus and discovered some interesting facts:
The plant is an aquatic perennial. Under favorable circumstances its seeds may remain viable for many years, with the oldest recorded lotus germination being from that of seeds 1300 years old recovered from a dry lakebed in northeastern China. It is often mistaken for a water lily. The lotus is a completely different plant unrelated to the water lily.
In has many uses for food. In Asian cultures the roots, leaves, and flowers are used in many recipes as garnishes, teas, medicines and soups, just to name a few.
From ancient times the lotus flower has been a divine symbol in many Asian traditions.
Today we are announcing a brand new addition to the website! The new gallery will be a collection of cloud images. Images of clouds and skies can be healing and peaceful as well as giving a generally more uplifting and inspired mood to a space. You can view the gallery by clicking HERE

After 3 weeks of on and off the road traveling to photograph the fall colors, I am back eating a bagel at Panera (my other office). Spent the weekend getting some rush print orders done and I will be delivering the prints for my Water Abstraction show at Metro Arts Center shortly. Then back to fulfilling print orders and sifting through 6000 images. I will be adding more images to the website soon. For now above is a preview of coming attractions.
