Born from the earth and into the shadows...
- Imagine being born again.
Only this time your mother is the earth and you come fully equipped with memories, knowledge and a belief system.
What raw emotions are evoked when the first thing you are confronted with is an environment completely foreign to what you were expecting?
Fear, confusion, doubt and loneliness.
Or because of the new environment one may lose their inhibitions, feel joy or perhaps discover inner strength and courage.
Maybe the nine images are a true metaphorical reflection of the artists soul?
His background and love for the stage and theatre.
His longing to find true love and a wanting audience.
The ongoing battle of time and money between industry and creative
fulfilment.
Born from this earth, the series, everyone deserves a new beginning, a chance to start over.
- All amongst us who have had the chance to liase, work or just chat with John Robb are always left with the impression that you have met a unique, warm and generous human being.
More so, a master of his craft, check out his own portfolio.
Thank you John for your patience and willingness to get this shot right!
The Aradale weekend was a huge success and I thouroughly enjoyed spending time with like-minded souls.
