Dylan Gordon — “Love the life you live, Live the life you love.”

admin — Tue, 31 May 2011 04:49:13 +0000

About a year ago I met Dylan Gordon, a fellow student at Brooks Institute in Ventura, Calif. At first it was his personal story and deep soul that caught my eye. Besides the fact that he strongly resembles my younger brother, I felt like a big sister to him and wanted to support this incredible young guy on his journey.

Well needless to say, he hasn’t need me one bit! And this pat year and most especially 6 months I have watched him, with awe at moments, blossom into one of the more talented and promising young photographers I know. His work is growing at a pace that is so fast I can hardly keep up. And he seems to love his work with a passion that you can’t teach or persuade someone to have. It is deep– I’d say a calling.

Anyway, I don’t want to let another week go by without introducing my talented friend and peer Dylan Gordon, Visual Journalist. This is just a peek at what I hope to be many more blogs of this gifted photographer and very special human being.

In August of 2010, producers and directors Kaiulani Kimbrell, Udi Goren and Laura Libella followed Aviva Gold (painter, art medicine woman/teacher in Ojai, Calif.) with their cameras to make a short film of Aviva as she entered into a new and renewed quest for blessing in her life.

With a series of Aviva’s workshops taking place around the world, we invite you to get to know her via the film we made: Bringing Back The Wild.
