UK Born Jan Johnston also known as “The First Lady Of Trance” one of the most recognizable voices in dance music today. She’s worked with artists such as BT, Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold, and the list goes on. This shoot was done on request as I’ve always absolutely loved her music and really wanted to shoot a portrait of her. Shot on location in Melbourne it was a heavily windy day as you can see by her hair. I put a heavy focus on getting the angles exactly right… maybe even too much as I only had this one frame out of about 100. I was extremely grateful to get this image though…
This is a poetic photograph and words to describe its impact on me would be better expressed in a poem like Rilke’s Moving Forward where we see Rilke looking at a painting. I love that he says when he is growing, he feels that dogs and trees are relatives and he can see farther into a painting, see into it more deeply.” I associated to this extraordinary poet since I perceive this expansive image like looking into a painting, the colors and composition having a painterly style. Many of Rilkes poems are surprisingly intimate, something I strive to obtain in bringing the viewer into my sensory world. Robert Blys translations capture Rilkes voice with simplicity and directness, a voice that would not be heard without the prowess of this award-winning poet and translator of one of the indisputably major poets of the twentieth century. For readers new to this master poet, there are many elements of Rilkes work that will be especially meaningful: his constant attempt to avoid living shallowly; his descriptions of the frightening sensation of growth, when one abandons his previous habits and comforts and moves into the unknown (“my feeling sinks, as if standing on fishes.”); his search for spirituality his sense of isolation and transcendence; his feelings of ecstasy and their opposite, the dispiriting sensations of apathy and failure. The words of Moving Forward are an amazing example of Robert Bly’s landmark translation: “The deep parts of my life pour outward, as if the river shores were opening out. It seems that things are more likely now, that I can see farther into paintings. I feel closer to what language cant reach. With my senses, as with birds, I climb into the windy heaven, out of oak, and in the ponds broken off from the sky my feeling sinks, as if standing on fishes.” I have always loved these lines; the fish image is a triumph, an amazing union of senses. It embodies exultation, humility, and danger in a single image. I have read his poems many times and like a painting come away with a new sense of what this remarkable poems mean which is to me a sign of an extraordinary poet and without Robert Blys brilliant translations that have captured Rilke’s voice, we may never have been exposed to the genius of the poems of Rainer Maria Rilke.

Photo taken along the walkway at Moonstone Beach, Cambria, CA after the sun set. FEATURED IN Out of the Past…with thanks to the hosts!! FEATURED IN Everyday Women ~ sincere thanks to the hosts and members. Inspired by poetry: Donal Óg / by Isabella Augusta, Lady Gregory Translated from an anonymous eighth-century Irish poem It is late last night the dog was speaking of you; / the snipe was speaking of you in her deep marsh. / It is you are the lonely bird through the woods; / and that you may be without a mate until you find me. You promised me, and you said a lie to me, / that you would be before me where the sheep are flocked; / I gave a whistle and three hundred cries to you, / and I found nothing there but a bleating lamb. You promised me a thing that was hard for you, / a ship of gold under a silver mast; / twelve towns with a market in all of them, / and a fine white court by the side of the sea. You promised me a thing that is not possible, / that you would give me gloves of the skin of a fish; / that you would give me shoes of the skin of a bird; / and a suit of the dearest silk in Ireland. When I go by myself to the Well of Loneliness, / I sit down and I go through my trouble; / when I see the world and do not see my boy, / he that has an amber shade in his hair. It was on that Sunday I gave my love to you; / the Sunday that is last before Easter Sunday. / And myself on my knees reading the Passion; / and my two eyes giving love to you for ever. My mother said to me not to be talking with you today, / or tomorrow, or on the Sunday; / it was a bad time she took for telling me that; / it was shutting the door after the house was robbed. My heart is as black as the blackness of the sloe, / or as the black coal that is on the smith’s forge; / or as the sole of a shoe left in white halls; / it was you that put that darkness over my life. You have taken the east from me; you have taken the west from me; / you have taken what is before me and what is behind me; / you have taken the moon, you have taken the sun from me; / and my fear is great that you have taken God from me!
