Sylvia Tosun – Night of a Thousand Gowns

Sylvia Tosun

It was  the 25th annual Night of a Thousand Gowns where The Imperial Court of New York  celebrated 25 years of fun and fundraising led by the  current monarchs, Emperor XIX Jack and Empress XXIV Farrah Moans.

The Court has gained recognition in the New York City region for the  work it has done on behalf of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community. Besides the big hair, bigger jewels, the regal attire, the glitz and glamour is how they  have fun, and while they are at it, they  give time and energy to raising money for their  beneficiaries.

I was invited by Sylvia Tosun, of  Sea to Sun Recordings who was performing, and she was amazing. She looked beautiful and her voice enchanted everyone in the room. It was a pleasure to take some photographs for her…

I thought – tonight I am in Times Square , photographing at an  amazing tribal festival and soon I will be on the other side of the world  in rural China at another colorful tribal festival.

In my travels , I am always looking at what is different and what is the same…

Colorful celebrations happen all over the world !

aCurator is a full screen magazine featuring photography and art, edited and published by Julie Grahame in New York…

I am happy to be the current featured artist.

“My ongoing body of work, ‘Still Points in a Turning World’, explores our universal cross-cultural truths: the importance of family, community, ritual and the amazing diversity of its expression.

“The differences between our many world cultures are fading away. We all lose when ancient skills and visionary wisdom are forgotten. As a ‘visual archeologist’, photography has become my way to honor and celebrate an existence that may soon vanish and what it is that makes a people unique. I believe that sharing these stories and rituals can have a positive impact by providing a window on our common humanity.” – Terri Gold, July 2010

Spotlight on Travel Photgrapher Blog

Rabiri Shepherd In Nomads Camp-Gujarat

Tewfic El-Sawy’s The Travel Photographer Blog is my one my favorite online destinations.  I have been following his travel

tales and multimedia slide shows and now after traveling with him in India, we have become good friends.

There is so much new technology available to photographers  today ; keeping up with it is a challenge.

It ‘s so important to find the balance between the lure of  additional gear and then learning how to use it and finding

the time for keeping up our sites and blogs while still  stretching our vision and craft and actually getting to take pictures too.

In a field where we often work alone, it is wonderful to have other photographers to talk to…

Terri Gold: Spotlight Interview on James Robinson Photography Blog

I have an article up on  James Robinson Photography Blog, thanks to James Robinson for his kind invitation to contribute. Find the link to the  interview: Click Here

Terri Gold in India “I am always looking at the Still Points… inspired by a line of poetry by T.S.Elliot. We are still and still moving… I see my work as still points in a turning world.

My work is interpretive in nature. I am looking for the grace notes, for the sense of wonder in our world and in our connections to each other. I feel compelled to make these images. I believe images that share our stories can have a positive impact on our world. We need to experience our common humanity. We all celebrate the same joys, we all bleed the same too…”

Lightroom Featured Photographer in Photoshop User Magazine

Photoshop User Magazine Lightroom Featured Photographer

I was so happy to be chosen as the Lightroom Featured Photographer in Photoshop User Magazine in the February 2009 issue.  As an artist, often working alone, this magazine is my favorite source of inspiration. Creating the image is just the beginning of the process for me. In the traditional darkroom, I was a lith printer, a complicated dance where each print was one of of a kind.  Now, I work in the digital darkroom and keep up with the latest creative techniques and innovations by subscribing to Photoshop User Magazine and becoming a member of NAPP.  I highly recommend it.
