PHOTOS OF THE BUILDINGS IN DOWN TOWN LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA

AND THE SHADOWS THEY REFLECT WITH ACCOMPANYING WRITINGS

by

Grace Divine

INTRODUCTION FROM BOOK

Traveling in my auto, across Los Angeles. A cool place to be. Full of stars and wanna bees. Los Angeles means 'the angels.' Are there angels here? Traveling across Los Angeles, looking for angels to see...

One day, while traveling through Los Angeles, I took thousands of photos of the buildings from my moving vehicle. Differentiating between positive and negative spaces, I focused on the shadows as they are reflected from one building to another and on the spaces around them.

In addition, I was haunted by the name of the city, "Los Angeles." I pondered at the irony of that name and its meaning. The rich history of Los Angeles as a city that caters to the entertainment industry is filled with stars and celebrities. But these stars stand on the shoulders of the many countless people who contribute to the production of television and film. In these photographs, I use the shadows on the buildings as a metaphor for this reality.

In addition, it is important to note that the queries presented in this book via the writings represents, in fact, the art and the primary purpose for the photography. Basically, the photographs in this book inspired me to think. I was therefore inspired to ponder, and in my case, within the context of irony, the nature of my existence. Therefore, as it concerns my artistic experience, the book itself and the questions presented are just as important as the photographs themselves.

As such, this book aims to present 'the mind' as the art piece and the photographs and writings as mere reflections of this art. To study these photographs means to reflect upon your own inner voice. How do these photographs make you feel? And what happens in your mind when you perceive them? Ask yourself these questions as you read this book, and you will learn to listen to your inner voice.

My name is Grace Divine. I am a photographer, painter, artist, writer, comic, musician and more. To learn more about my work please visit www.GraceDivine.com.

IMPORTANT COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER LEGAL NOTE:

This FREE REVIEW BOOK & PHOTOS is being given away and constitutes a review of my personal experience and it's solely comprised of my personal opinions, ideas and artistic endeavour. It commemorates my personal experience at multiple levels including but not limited to:
1. As a member of the public, this review commemorates my personal experience as against claims made by any party. As such this book and photos comprise a freedom of expression exercise and constitute news reporting of importance to the public. And as such, this review may be compared to an untold number of other reviews gives by other parties some of which include photographs of their experience.;
2. As an artist, this book and photographs comprise my desire to journal my life experiences. I consider the books in this series as pages of my diary. I believe I have a right to personal expression, as this is identified, and to communicate that to others who might be interested.;
3. As an intuitive artist believer in God's creative energy, and everything that entails, my work also constitutes a freedom of religious expression as I am trying to understand the nature of God. I believe God exists in the light! And I use my writing and photography in this quest for purposes of understanding and capturing these images of God as messages. I am trying to use the camera to capture images that human beings can't see with the naked eye. And I believe that some of these images relate to the existence of other dimensional energies, including intelligent and/or conscious energy, some of which is certainly spiritual energies of a divine nature. I believe that these energies are mostly not picked up by the human eye, but that they may be picked up by the camera. I also use the camera to verify my personal sensitivities to these energies. And for these reasons, the camera is necessary.
-Also, about the creation of these creative artistic photoshopped images, it is my quest, as an artist, to teach myself to see the world beyond a 1% of the electro-magnetic light spectrum visible to the human eye. Or at least, to be able to imagine it. These images reflect that. The photoshopped images are so changed from the original image that they have been intentionally transformed to reflect my feelings, my emotions, my experience... The original subject of the photography therefore becomes secondary to my experience and what I wish to communicate the public in order to educate them about my ideas. And please, keep in mind that the transformation of the images goes further as it involves the entire process, the learning of claims, the process of choice of locations, the series of books, the writings, the memories as they impact the photography, the photoshopping process, etc... The entire process in whole and in part converts each image into a communication from my mind, my personal experience, to the mind of the viewer and the public at large.;
4. As an artist, I am also trying to capture time. And I am trying to capture time as against different settings in a panoply of MY PERSONAL LIFE EXPERIENCES. I go to places that interest me or attract me. Places are that unique. I go there because I feel compelled to go there and because I believe there are special kinds of energy there based on the nature of the organization and claims that were made about it. And basically, this review book is about MY LIFE and is part of a series. And as it regards time in my photography, I believe that time is not just a measure of the passing clock, but that it is a form of consciousness. As an artist, I am curious about it. And I wish to understand it and I express that in my art. There is much more to this...;
