"I have been taking pictures of just about everything since I first bought a Nikkormat in 1976.  Thinking back on my experience, I realize now that my first photographic mentor was my Aunt Sophie, our family photo-documentalist. When Aunt Sophie departed this life at the grand old age of 94, she left behind a legacy of 2,000 slides and photographs and 20 boxes of super 8 film with one simple message:  'Time passes so take the picture.'

"Similarly, if I like what I see in my lens I just click the shutter.  I am, however, less conscious of time passing than I am of the utter non-existence of time.  Consequently, my pictures, which feel permeated with a mystical presence, seem to radiate on some invisible level of consciousness, which exists beyond the senses.

"Each of my pictures seems paradoxically both contemporary and vintage.  Each photo seems to be a union of nature's opposites: the world of perception and the world of the invisible, the physical and the spiritual, their images living where past, present and future intersect.  For me, being immersed in the mysterious unknowingness of life describes a universal truth of our human existence."   Phyllis Parun
