Mark Edward Harris: Wabi-sabi and the Japanese Aesthetic

"From the 6th century until the introduction of the Gregorian calendar in 1873, Japan used a variation of the lunisolar Chinese calendar that was divided into 24 seasons. These mini-seasons were determined by the phases of the moon, the rise of the tides, and other natural phenomena. Living in constant contact with their surroundings - the mountains, the ocean, and their all-important rice fields - people were acutely aware of even the smallest changes in their environment and often celebrated them with "matsuri" (festivals).

A ROOM WITH SEAVIEW

Architecture is celebrated for recording our cultures and reflecting who we are or want to be. But what it means to represent us all could be grasped properly as a design problem. No other art form showcases more concretely how people live, work, and socialize around the world. The series 'A Room With Seaview' captures architectural feats created by mostly illiterate men.

A Reflection of Everyday Life in Monochromatic

My preference for black and white as a means of photographic expression has many edges... I remember reading in an interview with French photographer Giorgia Fiorio for Réponses photo magazine in 2004, she said that color photography would be the equivalent of writing prose, and black and white would be like writing in verse, which I agree with her point of view. I couldn't agree more. - Yosvaný Martínez
