Anne Anthony
Anne Anthony photographs nearly anything that catches her eye. Never go on a walk with her or you’ll never finish.
Colby’s ‘Myself as Jehova’ conjures up the perfect morning in a country garden where birds gather galore… and the whimsical god-like judgmental observer is forgiven, because in the ‘promised land of hanging and platform feeders’ the birds have found a true haven. In the ‘…new Jerusalem of my backyard’ they are all admired and loved. Another Colby special.
Thank you.
Playing God. But with great insight into the lack of logic in her thinking.
