Howth Harbor 251

For those of you who know me well, you know I have a very unique photography style. I can't be certain, but I am quite sure that no other artist is using my concept of creating art. The truth is, it all came to me during one of my Quantum Jumps and today I want to show you my latest masterpiece. It's currently hanging over my mantle piece and I am pleased to say that when friends and family come over for a visit they can't keep their eyes off of it!

I just couldn't wait to share it with all of you.

Before I show it to you, however, I have a story you need to hear.

It was 1988 and I was in Ireland. I saw this old trawling vessel docked at Howth Harbor, a quaint fishing village on the outskirts of Dublin. The bow of the boat was crowded with fishermen, each with a pint of Guinness in hand. I pulled out my camera and took about a hundred photos of it. Once I returned home, I developed all the images put them together in a collage for a special showing at the International Photography Hall of Fame. After the showing I brought it home and put it in my garage where it laid forgotten for nearly 20 years.

Well... a few weeks ago I found it and got an amazing idea.

Here is what the piece looked like when I found it:

howth-harbor-original

I brought the piece into my studio and started painting on the old photographs. I painted a new sky and ocean then contrasted it with the weathered brown boards of the dock I remember so well. I touched up the boat and painted in new ropes. Before I knew it, I had a brand new piece of art right in front of me!

Here it is:

howth-harbor

I call it Howth Harbor. I hope you enjoy it.

Please let me know what you think!

Sincerely,

Burt

Painting A Clearer Picture 61

I need to clear the air about something here.

If you've been following me long enough, you'll remember me mentioning a few times that my photographs have been displayed in the International Photography Hall of Fame.

It recently came to my attention that a number of people have tried contacting the Hall of Fame to ask about my photographs, only to find out that the Hall of Fame has no records whatsoever of anyone named Burt Goldman.

The reason for that is simple--when submitting my work, I used a pen name. Instead of Burt Goldman, I wanted myself to be known as Jack Burton.

I did this to differentiate my photography work from my lecture material and writings, although I must admit I never expected this sort of misunderstanding to happen from it. I have already contacted the International Photography Hall of Fame and explained the situation.

So in case you were one of the people who got in touch with the Hall of Fame, I hope this paints a clearer picture for you =)

My work was originally displayed in the International Photography Hall of Fame in 1989. Apparently, over the years, much of it has been archived and in a few cases lost, or misplaced. Alas, there is only one image available there now to view - that would be my 30 x 40 image of a street in Dublin, Ireland that I named ‘Grafton Street.’

Here is a photo of it below:

Grafton Street

I apologize for any problems this may have resulted in. Jack Burton, is indeed Burt Goldman. I have not created any new montages of late being quite busy with other things but I will have a new image for you shortly... and yes, the new image will be signed, Burt Goldman.

Sincerely,

Burt

Quantum Jumping is a shocking yet immensely effective technique that can transform anyone into universe-hopping utopian beings, with the ability to consistently accomplish any goal, master any skill, and manifest endless abundance, health and happiness.

99.998% Of People (Even Billionaires) Will Never Know Their True Potential?

You’ve spent your entire life sipping on a cocktail of hope and action.

I hope you’ve mixed it well, because how successful and happy you are depends almost entirely on how you’ve balanced those 2 elements—and many of us sadly end up spoiling the drink as we pile on the hope, but go way too easy on the action.

But the reason for that is simple—it’s easier, for instance, to dream about owning a house by the beach than it is to actually buy one. Even without going into the job losses, recessions and crashing 401ks surrounding us, many people would still be put off by factors like.....
