Laura A. Watt’s "Natural Forms" photgraphy show

Flyer for Laura A. Watt's Natural Forms show

Don’t miss the Natural Forms show by one of my favorite Flickr photographers, Laura A. Watt’s. Her work is beautiful, subtle, and will take you someplace else if you let it. If you’re going to be in the Berkeley area this August, make a point of going!

Water, leaves, and other natural forms come together in Laura A. Watt’s Photos, straddling a fine line between straight representation and abstraction. Her fascination with curcing wave-shapes and subtle tones spans from vast skyscapes to tiny botanicals, with water flowing throughout.

The show runs at The Claremont Club, 41 Tunnel Rd., Berkeley, CA, US from 1–30 August, 2006.

The Birds and the Bees group show, AKL, NZ

The Birds and the Bees portrays a breadth of interpretations, as the photographers attach human states of being such as joy, sorrow, growth and death to this well-known phrase

Karen Crisp photographs exotic and invasive plants, investigating the unsettling qualities that can be present in these environments.

Paul Pachter portrays the immediate landscape of his garden of 20 years, expressing aspects of his personal history.

Isabella Pachter collects images of preserved and mounted animals and nature scenes to create collages that comment on the portrayal of nature in the west.

Kellie Gray explores the nature of existence and questions our individual realities using digital stills captured from hours of video tape.
