FOTOSEPTIEMBRE USA 2011 Exhibition at Gallery Nord in San Antonio, Texas 
Ramin Samandari : Earthly Bodies 

Ramin Samandari, featured artist, Earthly Bodies exhibit at Gallery Nord.
The human form in relation to other forms, space and the intangible forces of time, place and history are the primary concerns that fuel my work. As an artist working the image-based media, I approach the making of photographs as a means to document my philosophical, artistic and personal examination of life.
The images presented in this series are the result of my ongoing fascination with, and spiritual connection to, some of the landscapes around San Antonio. Enchanted Rock, Pedernales River, Guadalupe River are the backdrops for these Earthly Bodies, whether in the form of a human figure or an isolated tree or rock.
