Today we are blessed with advances in technology that allows everyone to express themselves on their own level. The artist within comes Alive.

This technology allows other to create and demonstrate expressions that were trapped within the thoughts or each individual. It allows for personal growth and expression that couldn’t be achieved in the past. Anyone can purchase expensive equipment that enhances his or her work. Whether it be a Cannon 5D or the RED Camera.

But in the mist of all this technology, there is still the true artist. The one individual who takes a basic camera and creates. Creates more then pictures but create life. They only have to open their eyes to see the beauty of the world and push a button to capture that beauty for all to see.

Ineta McParland is such a person. I had the pleasure of viewing a new book that is being published.  While viewing the pages they seem to jump out at me and capture my imagination. It’s not that Sarasota is beautiful; it is that Ineta demonstrated through her eyes and through the lens what her heart sees in Sarasota.

She doesn’t own an expensive Cannon 5D, but with only a modest camera she uses her heart and soul to expose the beauty she sees. Her eyes are not just the windows of her soul but also the reflection of her heart. For each photo represents her love for life. An intellect would have to put mathematic equations to her style; they could not accept that the soul produces beauty that is unexplainable. Her decrypted writing enhances the vision she holds in her mine. She allows us the pleasure of experiencing her work and for that we are grateful.

There are other great photographers in the area, but I am talking about Ineta McParland. She brings beauty to the world and the people that surround her. And for that we are in a better place.

I would cherish the book with her autograph, and share it to other generations to view. It’s simple in design but complex in content.
