I was looking for a quote about Beauty and I liked this one.

The Navajo regard the universe as supremely beautiful and intrinsically harmonious. They view humanity as part of nature and in no way separated from nature. Beauty to the Navajo is not an abstract concept, not something perceived as external or as something to be searched for by an appreciative viewer. They believe beauty to be an intrinsic quality of Being, experienced by living a good life and especially by creating beauty continually. (Weaver of worlds: from Navajo apprenticeship to sacred geometry and dreams : a woman’s journey in tapestry by David Jongeward)

Today’s weekend column is devoted to art photography by Giulia Ciappa from Florence.

Today I’m posting links to the photos taken by Austrian photographer Alfred Georg Weissenegger. These images may be seen in his gallery on deviantART. If I was going to write something profound here, that could be: Art needs no comment.

A few months ago, I’ve posted links to the gallery of Funstyle Chu from Taipei, Taiwan. Today I’d like to mention another superb Chinese photographer, 许 哲桢 (Xu Zhen Zhe, 普渡众神 花 on Flickr) from Shanghai. His female portraits have especially a peculiar charm.

In this weeks’ column I’d like to draw your attention to fantastic black and white photography by Vlad Eftenie from Romania. The deviantART Members write in comments to his photos something like: “This is absolutely fantastic, the tones and atmospheric light recall an earlier era of photography” or “Great concept“. I cannot find better words to describe them. Whatever the case, you can make your own impression.
