Things are either emerging out of nothingness or disappearing into nothingness. It is impermanence that gives transcendence and true meaning to the world. When we accept the transitory nature of all existence we can better appreciate the fleeting pleasures of the world without anxiety for their end. The photographs in this collection capture lyrical instances of a world in constant change revealing a beauty seemingly removed from everyday life, satisfying longed for moments in time.

Captivating new work by Bret Culp and Julie McGregor focuses on intimate moments that express a quietness of spirit. Culp's poetic black and white photographs of Tuscany and Ireland reveal the beauty of impermanence. McGregor's emotional portraits and romantic images of Italy capture longed for moments in time.
