The spirit of a place or an object can be more strongly conveyed.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nNeill considers not only light and composition but emotion to be essential ingredients of successful images. He relentlessly seeks the artistic and spiritual truth that emerges from his subjects. This dazzling collection of photographs displays a full range of light and shadow, intimacy and mystery, and drama and serenity that his explorations have revealed. Whether capturing Big Sur surf at twilight, the sensual forms of iris petals, or the autumnal glow of an eastern forest, Neill invites the viewer to contemplate scenes of immense beauty as well as emotional renewal.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\n&#8220;I\u2019m trying to stretch, not just to be different but also to find new ways to express what I\u2019ve been trying to show all along\u2014the beauty of nature.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.williamneill.com\/store\/ebooks\/impressions-of-light\/index.html\">Impressions of Light &#8211; Digital Edition<br \/>\nPhotographs by William Neill<br \/>\nSadhna Press, 2008<br \/>\nSingle Page and Double Page Spread Versions for versatile viewing options<br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\n$15.00 USD Available as Downloadable PDF.<br \/>\n100 pages, 69 Photographs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Impressions of Light book is now available in an 8&#215;10 size on Blurb!
