Winning Photograph of Ancient Indian Kiva Chosen for Smithsonian Magazine's World View Exhibit in Smithsonian Castle, National Mall, Washington DC
The Smithsonian exhibit, which will include an acclaimed photograph of an ancestral Indian kiva by Stephen Oachs, will showcase selected finalists from Smithsonian Magazine's 6th Annual Photo Contest.
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) May 21, 2009 -- The photograph, Ancestral Dimension, conveys more than beautiful warm color and the drama of a striking shaft of light in the darkly confined underground space of an ancient Indian kiva. The evocative image, captured by acclaimed Fine Art Photographer, Stephen W, Oachs, pulls the viewer inside to experience the close, rough sandstone walls, the low and encroaching ceiling, and an almost haunting sense of tranquility.
Stephen Oachs, Photographer
"As a photographer, I am privileged to see many amazing places. With every scene I capture, my goal is to stir a similar emotion in the viewer to what I felt being there--just as this Anasazi Indian ruin captured my imagination during my visit," said Oachs. "I'm excited, and fortunate, that my work will be seen by millions of visitors to the Smithsonian Castle. I am honored with this rare opportunity to have my photograph as a part of the World View Exhibit."
The upcoming World View exhibit showcases 30 of the 50 finalists selected from over 17,000 international entries in Smithsonian Magazine's 6th Annual Photo Contest. The exhibit, which will include the Indian Kiva photograph by Stephen Oachs, will be on view from July 1, 2009 through January 17, 2010 at the Smithsonian Castle at the famed National Mall in Washington DC.
