About the Images 

           Carol Ginandes

          For me, doing and viewing photography is a contemplative art and practice which is a cross between poetry and prayer. In general, I feel more moved to comment on beauty than on blight whether in nature or in the human spirit. My landscape photographs honor moments of transcendent appreciation of extraordinary places which, threatened by over- development, may soon become extinct. Yet still there are pristine locations where the nature spirits continue to reside, and one can look fully and deeply into the landscape without dismay. Indeed the setting is so blessed by the clarity of light and color that it seems almost heightened to a dream.

         On display here are selected images from my  Outer Cape, New England, Western and  South American Portfolios Like paintings, the photographs have been composed so as  to invite an emotional response and deep, repeated viewing over time.

        All of the images displayed on the site are available for purchase by special order. Prints are available in a variety of sizes printed on archival media  ( paper or canvas).Please call (617) 924-4093 and/or email cginandes@aol.com to order  prints or to arrange  for a portrait session.
