WHEN I WANDER
my own way as I do now...
I never feel more alive than when I have the camera in my hand,
and I kiss the sky at dawn!

It is then that I lie beneath imaginary worlds and I listen to the light
that burns the clouds and turns the sky into porcelain!

I had to share this magnificent view of the Texas sky with you!
It is probably the most beautiful sunrise I've ever seen!

SEEK YOUR KNOWLEDGE from the strangest places,
Seek understanding from the strangest situations,
See the truth even in the imitations.
Seek love from the strangest of avenues,
There is but one love with thousands of points of view,
For it sees through you as it sees you through.
Seek yourself from the strangest outlook,
The whole world is your kitchen when you're the cook
.

Most of the you you know now is but a page in your book.

Write yourself as the King not a rook,
Read yourself as a river not a brook,
Seek yourself from the strangest outlook.

I was suspended above the earth in awe as I looked at this
monolith in the Yucatan peninsula off the coast of Mexico.
I knew then that the world around us is a work of art!

My friend, the starfish, was waving to me from the sand,
"it's time" he says, "time to leave the aura of one life
for the shadow of another!"

No one can capture the light that turns the sky into an extraordinary reality!
Perhaps beauty is reality's reminder of immortality!


M I R R O R  O F  T H E  S U N

I must confess, I cannot get enough of beauty.
When she dances in front of my eyes, I am compelled to celebrate
life with her every move.



Thank you for viewing my work.
I hope you have enjoyed the experience.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Born in 1952 in El Salvador, Central America, Bernardo Medina graduated from the school of Architecture at the University of Houston in 1975, and has been residing in Texas ever since. He has a small studio of design and construction, dedicated to creativity and innovation in restaurants and nightclubs.

Photography is a source of inspiration for Bernie's architectural projects. It allows him to play with the perception of the outside world, ...it's structures, forms, colors, ...illusions and cliches. More recently he has become interested in the abstract feelings produced by colors and forms. He believes that color and form is a medium which can convey the most subtle and complex feelings, and can give the viewer a sense of a particular place and time that transcends the visual field.
Bernie hopes through his work to discover more of the beauty and strangeness of the world arould us. In his own words, "I see Photographs as very real,... they are of course nothing of the sort. They contain no more or no less truth than a painting or a written work of fiction. At their most simplistic they are a fantasy".
