Vivicare (To bring to life) 1-3

This special presentation of black and white photographs by Eric Beldowski captures with subtle humour a spectrum of wonderful moments which could only occur in a city such as Rome; the city to which all roads lead. Eric's camera in turn has led him to celebrate the joy of the Roman spring in a city where layers of life walk on stones which were walked on by lovers of life for century after century.

Still felt by many to be the center of the world, Rome is a unique metropolis where deals are made at every coffee bar, feral cats sunbathe on ancient ruins, and Gypsies perform in the marketplaces. VIVIFICARE brings to life 400 year old marble carved to fluid perfection in folds of fabric on transcendent bodies, lovers sharing gelati on ancient stone staircases, and manicured avenues leading to museums filled with the priceless work of master painters and sculptors.

Flora 4-5

From a lonely Trillium in an Ontario forest to a field of tulips in Holland, this presentation of colour photographs by Eric Beldowski captures flowers in all their brilliance and glory. You can almost smell the intoxicating fragrance of the roses flourishing one summer in Rome. Herbs and spices in Ontario not only enhance the flavour of our lives, but in close-up, reveal the complexity and diversity of nature. Walk among the mountain flora on the hills of Switzerland - their delicacy and vibrant colour a striking contrast to their grey and rugged habitat. Special infrared experiments give roses an intense new look, and let us see the roses as the insects do. Then let yourself giggle with the pansies in a field of dreams. These photographs are powerful triggers, eliciting emotions from one's own experience of flowers. Eric's photographs have caught elements in nature from a simple petal to a garland of buds. His eye sees beyond the flowers' shape and colour and reveals their individual characters, from exotic and erotic to playful and comic.
