Linda Allison is a recovering banker living in The Woodlands Texas with the love of her life, found late in life. She is a hiker, traveler, photographer, emerging writer, and terrible golfer who loves to play. In 2019 she decided to leave her heavy SLR camera body and menagerie of lenses at home and traveled Portugal for ten days shooting with nothing other than her camera phone. She’s never looked back. The photos included here serve as an homage to the journal’s name.
Some of the pieces depict partial, oblique, or frontal female nudity to illustrate Carl Jung’s concept of the Anima: the female part of the male psyche — sensual, often oblique female archetypes where allegories give shape to dreamscapes of the unconscious, even as the faint image of the female reflects an abstracted, fluid persona — the objective and the subjective. My intents touch upon transgender femininity. Overall, my artistic directions and aesthetics are informed by photo-artists Yoko Mizuki, Heinz Hajek-Halke, and especially Katrien De Blauwer.
