This essay,
Werner Erhard Photo Experience,
is the second in the trilogy
The Werner Erhard Experience:
- Werner Erhard Video Experience
-
Werner Erhard Photo Experience
- Werner Erhard Quote Experience
in that order.
I am indebted to Dennis Caudill and to Wernher Krutein and to Lyn
Malone and to Kenneth Yamamoto and to Wayne Williams and to Anita Lynn
Erhard and to Randy Green and to Fred Ortiz and to Keth Luke and to
Angelo D'Amelio and to Phyllis Ford and to Daniel McAlpine who
inspired this conversation.
The spread of photographs of Werner in this catalog covers a range of
years. Many people will remember Werner in the former years. Some
people have only met Werner in the latter years. Most people who've
experienced Werner face to face first saw him somewhere in between.
These photographs show Werner's appearance. Appropriately, Werner's
appearance goeswith transformation (as
Alan Watts
may have said). But, not shown in these photographs, it's Werner's
speaking which brings forth transformation,
Werner asserting "Transformation shows up in my mouth.".
This catalog of photographs of Werner shouldn't be construed simply as
a compendium of snapshots. In fact, if that's how they do play
to you, then I would have failed in my intention to make them
available.
If you're awake to it, you'll see the face of
transformation everywhere in this catalog. The face of transformation
is eternal, timeless, out of time. It's been around forever, yet
it dances with us freshly and enthusiastically in all these new
successive moments of now, playing, teasing, calling
forth.
There's no significance to the order in which the photographs are
displayed here. Some are in the order in which they first appeared in
these
Conversations For Transformation.
Some aren't.
