About the Artist Educator and professional artist Chitra Ramanathan’s current series of predominantly large-scale multi-media paintings portray the mental emotion of happiness as a visual entity through intense colors and multiple layers of textures that attract light from various angles, pushing the boundaries of her paintings beyond the confines of a two-dimensional surface. They are inspired by short-lived garden blooms and constantly changing seasons in nature, characteristics that attribute to the ephemeral, fleeting and enticingly beautiful happiness’ “formless form”: a phrase she has coined to describe her concept. The hint of circles almost always present in her works signify the cycle of human life: trying times followed by happy phases in a positive sense, and of life and rebirth influenced by her roots from India. Says a recent collector of Chitra’s painting who is an art connoisseur and a former staffer of the Indianapolis Museum of Art, “I first met Chitra when I took her classes at the Indianapolis Art Center. I wanted a painting by Chitra because I like the feeling her abstract work evokes. I like the way her paintings make me feel and think; and I like how she communicates so much with a subtle use of color or a tiny brush stroke…..There is so much in our world today that can be considered “negative”, that I like art around me that offers hope and that reaches for joy. For me, her paintings do that”-Alice Irvan, President, AIRvan Consulting, LLC, Indianapolis U.S.A. Her paintings have been described as “tactile works that resonate with a quiet harmony” and “Simply luxurious” by Manhattan Arts, New York. To quote from an excerpt from an interview with the artist, “Chitra’s paintings exemplify her love of nature as well as the subjectivity of each individual’s unique pursuit of happiness. Her painting procedure often entails making mental notes of a scene in nature, including the lighting, colors, and textures. She then uses these impressions in her studio to replicate the subject matter in an abstracted form, using rich physical textures, intense colors, and varied media”. / As for continuity, the artist says, “In keeping with my nature theme, I want to focus on environmentally compatible materials that synchronize with our concerns on global warming and climate change issues.” Recent public art commissions include the MGM Mirage, Las Vegas (please see below).

I just had my first image featured! An image I’m very proud of: “Neon American Flag with Silhouetted Family” taken during the 2002 Winter Olympics here in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. I felt lucky to have things come together as they did to be able to get this shot. This whole family group just stood still, spontaneously ,for this fairly long exposure shot! No models or setup was involved. I’m grateful to have this image chosen to be featured, and thank you to the Night Photography group for doing so! This is a great artistic community and I’m so glad I stumbled upon it! Steve

I visited Venice briefly in 2006 as part of the European tour during the World Cup soccer fever; part of that whirlwind tour was also our honeymoon, which makes it all the more memorable. Touristy as it may be, Venice will never fail to impart a sense of timelessness and romance. We walked everywhere to explore all the crooks and crannies, this is one of the many alleys and colorful wooden window and wall combination. Be sure to check out the complete Merchant of Venice series. +-A Random Alley, Venice, Italy *Source: wikipedia Don’t forget to visit my Etsy store at / http://photopia.etsy.com Follow me on Twitter for announcements at http://twitter.com/moderatefanatic

Graffiti is a controversial subject as Some people call it vandalism while others call it art. It has existed since ancient times and in today’s society, spray paint and markers become the most commonly used materials. This photograph was taken at a wasteland area on the outskirts of Brighton, England. At some stage it will be developed but for the time being it is widely used by those who desire to show their freedom of expression.

In November, the Christmas lights were already lit on the iconic Harrods Building in Knightsbridge. I loved that the Underground sign was lit but a little broken at the same time. Harrods, Knightsbridge, London, England. / November 2008. Canon 400d, 18-55mm lens with tripod (no flash). I use no post processing of any kind, unless stated. For Nina’s London Calendar, as the month of November, as that is when we were there… for some reason this seemed like the best photograph to capture that time.
