These elements speak to the greater aura of our presence, here, now and how our legacy relates to the life we have left behind. The detailed images of things both interior and exterior help create the environment we experience when reliving the life Fredric has left with us. The presence of Fredric and his inspirations are embedded into the framework here, inescapable in their lasting spirit. http://lettersofolana.com/Allison-Harrell http://lettersofolana.com/following/lettersofolana.com/Allison-Harrell Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:16:10 +0000 Letters of Olana 2587291 <img src="http://payload14.cargocollective.com/1/5/171722/2587291/-2_905.jpg" width="900" height="602" width_o="900" height_o="602" src_o="http://payload14.cargocollective.com/1/5/171722/2587291/-2_o.jpg" data-mid="13078821" border="0" align="left"/> amhphoto.com Born in 1983 in Tennessee, Allison Harrell has pursued artistic voice through photography for nearly a decade, trained classically in traditional process as well as oil painting.

And all this has been in this world so long & I have never seen it before!" Grace King about Olana (Letter written to Mae, June 7, 1887) Collection LSU Libraries carmenmolina.com Carmen Molina was born October 30th 1975 in Bogotá, Colombia. She moved to France at the age 17 and lived in Montpellier and Paris for a total of four years. During this time she studied its language and culture at institutions such as L'Université Paul Valery and La Sorbonne. It was during this period that she bought her first camera as she developed an interest for the world of arts. In 1996, she made a return back to her hometown and started working in the music industry as an artist manager, mainly helping to develop the careers of young Colombian singers. In 2006, she moved to Miami and shortly thereafter to New York, where she worked as a freelance writer for the newspaper El Espectador, writing artist features. Within a year, she took a leap from covering artists to becoming one when she decided to become a photographer herself. In 2011, she graduated from the School of Visual Arts with a BFA. Carmen’s work frequently has autobiographic facets and invites the spectator to a peak and a dive into her mind and artistic psyche. http://lettersofolana.com/Inga-Moren http://lettersofolana.com/following/lettersofolana.com/Inga-Moren Sun, 08 Jan 2012 18:42:24 +0000 Letters of Olana 2562749 <img src="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/171722/2562749/IngaMoren_Online.jpg" width="602" height="640" width_o="602" height_o="640" src_o="http://payload13.cargocollective.com/1/5/171722/2562749/IngaMoren_Online_o.jpg" data-mid="12966931" border="0" align="left"/> ingamoren.com Inga Moren was born in Bogotá, Colombia and grew up in Miami, Florida.
