What Flowers Are Really For? The beauty of flowers so admired by poets isn't for us its for the birds and the bees that pollinate them. When you think of a flower, what first comes to mind? A painter might visualize color, a poet natural harmony. In our dreams it is said that the Lilly symbolizes purity and the rose feminine beauty. We use flowers as metaphors to declare love and to represent life after death. Looking beyond the poetic and aesthetic attributes of flowers, there is an entirely practical form of life: the flowers biological purpose is the survival and the evolution of its species. Perhaps, at least in our mythology, we have failed to appreciate fully the significance of a flower. Featuring the photography of Carll Goodpasture from the centenial 2000 exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution National Zoological Park entitled "Vanishing Pollinators" Seeking a publisher: contact Carll Goodpasture via e-mail |

Imagining Place Photography by Carll Goodpasture Text by Peter Bevan Available in UK from http://www.word-power.co.uk Available in US from http://www.hjemkomst center.com/ The work is a personal homage to the spirit of a place. The photography is black and white landscape in a fine art tradition. The photographs were taken in North Dakota and Minnesota at places where in my imagination the first people to inhabit this environment might have walked. They show the land as it might have looked in pre-European time and as it is today. The text consists of inspirational words by indigenous speakers such as Black Elk. Praise for the book …a valuable contribution to human-Earth relationships. – Thomas Berry I am sure that your deep feeling for the material will come through in very moving ways. – Charlene Spretnak The images stir...they stand on their own, just as a good book of photos by Ansel Adams does… I look forward to its arrival in the world. – Chellis Glendinning Your book sounds remarkably beautiful; thank you very much for doing it. – Bill McKibben |
