Felines of the Alhambra (Single)
DESCRIPTION
The Alhambra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Granada, Spain is a must see for students of landscape architectural history. After spending several days the site becomes more and more familiar and new details start to emerge. I would like to think these cats are descendants of those living with the Sultan.
AUTHOR
Larry Bean is a Landscape Architect living in Billings Montana. A lifelong student and admirer of fine art black and white photography, he has recently become interested in how ancient Asian garden design principles have influenced composition in modern day black and white fine art photography. The Asian method of composition is known as Notan. Translated from Japanese as light/dark harmony, Notan can be traced back to the gardens of Zen Buddhist monks a thousand years ago and to Taoist monks a thousand years before that. Notan is thought to help an artist to illustrate emotion. Larry frequently incorporates notan in his photographic compositions.
