Geoffrey Baris, Photographer

Many of Baris's images are of water. Water is a constantly moving element, changing form, shape and color. He captures a moment in its continuously changing movement. It is through these frozen moments in time that the movement and reflection of water is transformed into and abstract form.

He uses his eye and the camera to allow the viewer to see another view hidden images that emerge from nature. "The true essence of photography lies beyond pure sight; it goes deeper into the soul, past everything known as color and form. I like to think that my photographs are all real images of natureseen from this deeper place within myself. Here I am able to find my connection to my soul.", says Baris.

CORAL & ICE From the Ends of the Earth

The President & Board of Governors of the National Arts Club in Association

with Wings Worldquest present this exhibition

of photographs by WWQ Fellow and Board member Anne L. Doubilet.

March 31- April 14, 2008

Opening Reception: Tuesday, April 1, 2008 6-8 p.m.

Shapes and patterns and colors occurring in nature present designs that rival the imagination. The turquoise glow of melting ice in the Arctic combines with the vibrant pink of soft coral under the Red Sea. They are images from a journey with Alice into Wonderland. This Wonderland is our planet Earth and is being documented by Ms. Doubilet, underwater explorer, photographer and writer. For the past thirty years she has dived in almost all of the Earth's oceans and explored from Papua New Guinea to the Arctic. She is also a Board Member of Wings Worldquest and the Explorers Club.
