Impressionism by Galbo

Impressionism by Galbo John, sociologist/anthropologist/photographer: "My images are secrets about secrets. The more they tell me, the less I know." John Galbo

"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. I lift my eyes and the world is born again." Sylvia Plath (1932-1963)
The camera is the implement of my rebirth. The sole vehicle, by design and disarray, is the foment of my awakening, again and again. It is the cathartic renaissance of artistic license, in the pursuit of the unknown. My photography is the art of seduction, holding the subject captive

, be it sacred, profane, and/or arcane. The collaboration of the human senses, with the digitized image, and embellishment of ink and paint, result in an image, not privy to replication. My travail may garner a modicum of acclaim. Or the outcome will be a catastrophic abomination, not suitable, even as a magnanimous gift, to the most tolerant of friends. No matter the voices, gushing, shrill, or silent; it is art, my art!

Aunt Lu would have turned 93 today.
In her memory I donate funds annually for book needs for 95 student monks at Pema Institute, Pokhara, Nepal. The Buddhist monastery made, and display a plaque in her honor, and are having a Butter Lantern prayer celebration today, her birth date.
Thanks to everyone for your love and support.

Hoi An Vietnam. Magical town, cornucopia of gifted.
Feeling blessed(spirituality is present in countless forms; I choose NOT to limit myself to one.) Embracing the moment with profound thankfulness. In the midst of humanities gifts..

I wondered where everybody had been! This is good to know. It's ridiculous to have 450 friends and only 25 are allowed to see posts.
I ignored this post earlier because I didn’t think it worked. It WORKS!! I have a whole new news feed. I’m seeing posts from people I haven’t seen in years.
Here’s how to bypass the system FB now has in place that limits posts on your news feed. Their new algorithm chooses the same few people - about 25 - who will read your posts...
okay here goes....HELLO. To regain friends in your news feed and get rid of ads - Hold your finger anywhere in this post and click ′copy’. Go to your page where it says ‘What's on your mind?’ Tap your finger anywhere in the blank field. Click paste. This upgrades the system.
Hello new and old friends!🥰
It's sad we have to keep doing this to kill the Ads and see our friends. Hello!
