RINKO KAWAUCHI'S "AILA"
This is one of my favorite photo books... So many people close to me are having a difficult time with life this last year, and I thought these images might help us all out. In Aila we're gently reminded how beautiful, inspiring, heartbreaking and short life is. If you have a chance swing by Dashwood and spend time with it.
"Consisting primarily of images of nature, the photographs from AILA (from the Turkish word aile meaning "family"), published in 2004, celebrate the awe-inspiring essence of life. Kawauchi captures the limitless diversity of nature, hives of insects, matrices of fish eggs, dewdrops, waterfalls, rainbows while emphasizing the limited time all creatures have on earth. Animals, plants and humans are all depicted at various stages of transition from birth to death."
right on db. i discovered this book last year while hunting for the perfect leather jacket, in a post (serious)breakup buying spree.
so right you are about her message and view. she is brilliant! and i wear the jacket and view the book all the time. so..good things can result from..all this jazz.
