" Art has little to distinguish itself from religion. Fundamentally they are both acts of faith and therefore subject to their own uncertainties." Robert TriboliProfessional photographer, from Sacramento, Ca, USA, wise philosoph as you'll read it, and certainly a true poet, Robert Triboli is a passionate and devoted artist that I admire since a long time.
Like the majority of the artists featured here, his passion began really young. Always fascinated by the light, you can feel today how much he knows everything about it (her ?...).
As I choosed the pictures to illustrate his first feature, I found many wonderful shots that I invite you to contemplate right now !
About me..." When I was a child I could feel light – not just the sensation of hot or cold – but light itself. I can'’t describe it to you, but I know I could feel it.
When I was a child l would spend breezy summer afternoons lying under the vine-covered pergola in my grandfather’s vineyard. It was like being in a kaleidoscope and I could feel the millions of possible spectral permutations. It was rapture.

Yulia " With maturity I lost that facility to feel light. It was like learning the definition of awe and losing its meaning. It’s not that adults can’t feel awe ; they just don’t experience that knock the wind out of your guts awe that a child does.
" I was a serious young man. I was one of those people who thought that discovering the meaning of the universe was possible. I experimented with a lot of systems (Eastern, Western, Middle Earth) in search of the Eternal Answers. For a while I even thought the camera would allow me to differentiate between what Takahara calls “the dreams that are true from the truths that are only dreams”. The camera ended up being just another system. Art has little to distinguish itself from religion – fundamentally they are both acts of faith and therefore subject to their own uncertainties.

Kristin" Older now, I concern myself less with answers. Instead, with a conviction that the universe is always presenting our senses with miraculous gifts, I have tried to foster receptivity and appreciation. I have tried to rediscover the awe and rapture I knew when I was a child.
" Someday I would like to relive the feeling of light. I don’t know if it’'s possible to find one’s way back, but photography has brought me closer than anything else.

" The great majority of my images include people. While I don’t consciously seek out children I find them in many of my photographs.
Perhaps, if I can’t get back there on my own, I can follow them as they instinctually find those paths that lead one up into the light."
