Synopsis
This volume compiles approximately 50 black and white photographs by Iranian-born and California-based doctor and photographer Vajed. The work includes studies of plants, flowers, portraits, and industrial forms, but the artist's main subject is light. The discipline with which he has studied its possibilities, and the capacity for photography to manipulate light is evident in his elegantly simple, liquid, often dream-like images.

From the Inside Flap
Switching from one art field (medicine) to another (photography) was easy for Mohamad J. Vajed, as both demand discipline and observation. His main focus in photography is light itself, and through careful study and evaluation of existing light, he has, like an alchemist, transformed simple and ordinary subjects into images of exquisite beauty. They provoke thought. A delicate balance of technique and artistry, experienced close up with adequate light, Mohamad's photographs become, in gray scale, a light symphony of the senses.
About the Author
Dr. Mohamad J. Vajed, known to his friends as “M.J.”, was born in Iran. After gradauation from Tehran Medical School, he came to this country in 1967 and did his post graduate studies at Hekoten Institute in Chicago and the Veterans Administration and Stanford University Hospitals in Palo Alto, California. He moved to Livermore, CA to pursue his career and then joined the Livermore Valley Camera Club. He was impressed and inspired by the work of master photographers Gerry Russell and Myron Heusinkveld, who generously shared their experiences with him. After attending an exhibition of photographs by John Wimberley in 1979, Mohamad saw the expressive values and magical quality of black and white photograpy. He then put all his efforts into learning the technical aspects of the medium and at the same time refining his vision to see the photographic possibilities. The collection of photographs in this book are the result of two decades of this quest.
