Canadian Photographer, Dianne Bos

(Dianne's work challenges the view of photography as a way to "capture an instant in time." By using pinhole cameras and long exposure times she records, not an instant, but rather the passage of time at a site. As Dianne states "Much of my work centers around contemplative spaces and offers a meditation on time's movement within a still image. Time and light, movement and stillness, memory and the observer: these elements link all of the diverse images I create." I love this concept. Her photography is exquisite!)
