William Bernard Brooks Photography Exhibit in Santa Cruz de la Sierra Bolivia.

William Bernard Brooks to Visit Bolivia

William B. Brooks has been sharpening his powers of observation since his childhood in Germany. Twice the recipient of the Photokina Youth Photography Award, William B. Brooks graduated with a BA in photography from the Werkschule in Cologne and served an apprenticeship with acclaimed portraitist, August Sander. Moving to Paris, he photographed fashion and advertising layouts.

In the United States since 1971, William B. Brooks has developed a client list akin to Who�s Who of fashion, fragrance and beauty. Vanity Fair, Sears Roebuck, Lord & Taylor, Saks Fifth Avenue, Faberge, Coty, Helena Rubinstein and corporations as diverse as DuPont and Johnson & Johnson have used his perspectives on their products. The pages of Time, Cosmopolitan, Mademoiselle, Montana Living and Spirit Talk Magazine have all reflected his editorial aesthetics. Sylvester Stallone, Perry King, Henry Winkler � the Fonz�, Pam Dawber, Susan Blakely, Carol Francis, Lauren Hutton and many other personalities became part of his portfolio.

Since he established residence in Montana he has begun work on his � Montana Mirror� project. A collection of portraits of ordinary people with non ordinary dreams. His lifelong fascination with Native American Culture is permitting him to participate in many native healing ceremonies and expand his appreciation of different cultural lifestyles.

William B. Brooks is not merely the eye behind the camera. His gifts transcend the shutter while continuing to probe beneath the surface. In his paintings and sculpture, William�s incisive gaze never varies. Also, the pursuits of a wide range of interests that span fencing, sailing, gliding, eastern philosophy and Native American traditions insure his keen instinct for the outer limits of accomplishment.

�My goal,� the artist asserts, � is to record and create sensitive images of people that show their inner feelings, inner desires and moods.� And through a variety of mediums, William B. Brooks focuses unerringly on �observed behavior that can be transformed into recognizable aspects of human experience.�

You can read more about William Bernard Brook on his website www.soulcaller.com and I really encourage you to view his blog www.tipitopics.blogspot.com where you'll see more of his art and can read his thoughts on Native American life, his life in Montana and more.

In addition, Mr. Brooks has written a book called SOULCALLER which contains images and instructions for meditation. It will be available in print toward the end of the year; however, you can get a sneak peek at all its pages now by visiting his website above.

Shamanic Interludes Exhibit in Santa Cruz

The following prints will be shown as part of the William Bernard Brooks exhibit "Shamanic Interludes" in Santa Cruz, Bolivia 10 September through 10 October, 2008 at:

ANAHI Art Center, Calle Guemes No.5
Esquina Canal Isuto
Barrio Equipetrol
Santa Cruz, Bolivia
(591-3) 3354054

Sponsored by the Gran Paytiti Foundation of Bolivia. The photographer William Bernard Brooks creates images of shamanic interludes. Meditations in the forest and near hidden lakes in the Rocky Mountains in Montana provide an opportunity to align with energies that are still communicating with humans. In those moments, when form and intent, desire and surrender, knowledge and manifestation coalesce into joyful bliss, we find that gratitude is the noblest of expression.

Mr. Brooks will spend 6 weeks in Bolivia, during which time he will be available personally at exhibits of his art and will spend time learning about Bolivia's native cultures first hand.
