Terri Lynn Graham
Drifting between my love of poetry and my love of photography, I often experiment with blending the concepts of both and hope to end up with visual poetry that will somehow touch the viewer's emotions.


Patricia Gomes

Craig Kirchner
Craig Kirchner writes: "Recent works have appeared or will soon appear in journals on and offline including Subterranean Quarterly, Erosha, Divine Animal, The Blotter, Thunder Sandwich, 3 AM MAGAZINE, Poetry Sz, Dreamvirus, The Moonwort Review, Adagio, Reading Divas, Ink Magazine,  Poetry Repair Shop, Triplopia, Wicked Alice, Clean Sheets, WriteThis, West of Athens, Megaera  and The Sidewalks End.  I live and work as a consultant on the east coast but consider myself a hobo of the universe. Poetry in all forms is essential to me as the only inspiring literature I seem to have time to read. I write about what I know best and yet least - myself - in an effort to remove those labels."

That was her first experience with a camera, and since that time, she's gotten another Sony - the FD95. She is now waiting for the Sony 828, which has 8 megapixels. After all these years, she has found her passion, and it's photography. She loves to find the story in every picture.

Vinay
Photography has been a continual journey of exploration for Vinay.  Before coming to America, the photos of Ansel Adams inspired and opened his eyes to the grandeur of the American West and nature. Later the works of Freeman Patterson and Edward Weston was a revelation in how simplicity of form and subject could be rendered as art in photography.  Vinay recently moved to digital photography with Nikon DSLRs but continues to use film, both medium format and 35mm. You can see more of Vinay's work at http://www.pbase.com/vinaymala2000 where his galleries and pictures have been variously referred to as stunning, awe inspiring, and rich in emotion, mood and color.
