Howard Bond: "In The Presence Of Mystery"

With most great photographers we are given the opportunity to look at the world in a way we never could have before. Howard Bond does this by giving our eyes so much sharp detail that his landscapes take on a mysterious quality. Ordinary 20/20 vision couldn't pick up this much information. Typically, we think of fog or maybe a woods blurred with movement as evoking mystery. But here it's the exact opposite. A sand dune completely revealed, with nothing to keep you from staring into it as long as you want. A stream in a forest holding still for us to think about it—the leaves and wet rocks so crisp, so finely resolved that they become palpable. His photographs invite meditation perhaps because of that sense of mystery and, at the same time, availability. All photographs are 10" x 13" on 16" x 20" mounts for $375 or 15" x 19" on 22" x 28" mounts for $600. Either contact Howard Bond directly or LightBox to purchase or inquire for more information.
