Somewhere You've Never Been Photo Gallery by Aloha Diao Lavina at pbase.com

Somewhere You've Never Been

Somewhere you have never been.
A corner of your mind.
Above the shadows of a lengthening afternoon.
A story that beckons, a whisper that turns your head.

This gallery would not exist without Lawrence Ripsher and his beautiful wife Akuri.
Thank you Lawrence for teaching me to capture with the camera what my eyes see,
and to make each picture portray what my mind's eye envisions.

And thank you Akuri, for being so patient.

This is an awe-inspiring series... Fantastic work :)

Guest		24-Mar-2007 06:49
Impressive, Aloha. It takes a great deal of effort to conceptualize something like this. This gallery speaks a lot about the person behind the viewfinder. A lot of people think in frames when they post, not as part of a greater whole. You're one of the exceptions. TFS your work. V.

Well,what can i say,i don`t know much about portrait but the lighting technique you are using together with the mood of the pictures,is absolutely stunning. Dimitri

Phil Douglis		21-Mar-2007 05:20
Your images are richly imaginative and vividly executed, Aloha. Some are portraits, others are surreal visions, and all share a theatrical style. Vulnerability, loneliness, and a sense of mystery are the human values that provide the theme of this lush, haunting gallery.

Manuel Libres Librodo Jr.		21-Mar-2007 02:51
Definitely something to look forward to. Amazing work. V

Guest		21-Mar-2007 01:00
