Soul Caller
A review by Eugene D Tunick, DDS 5/2/2010
As I know William Bernard Brooks to be a prominent portrait photographer, I expected Soul Caller to be a book of beautiful photographs. What I found was a complete surprise: a series of images, probably based on photographs, resembling paintings reminiscent of Matisse and other French impressionists, with a suggestion of abstractionism.
They definitely aren’t French, but are anchored in Native American occultism – serving as metaphors of early Indians seeking the meaning of existence.
Each image is accompanied by a Haiku describing a spiritual experience. I couldn’t resist going back repeatedly to explore the imagery and to let the Haikus insinuate themselves into my consciousness.
Brooks invites us to share his existential journey.
Discuss shamanism, it's modern application, life in Montana,Arts and Culture, different cultures, communication, new ways of looking at the world, importance of digital world, how will it change our views and actions
