Amazon offers free Kindle apps for desktops (PC and Mac), laptops, tablets, and smartphones (iOS and Android). In fact, since this ebook features images in color, I can view it better with an app on any of my devices other than my Kindle Paperwhite, which shows the images in black and white.<\/p>\n<p>If you have followed the Persephone series as it developed here, you have already seen most of twelve images that are featured in the ebook. New text has been added: a discussion of myth, meaning, and various approaches to interpretation; a look at the mind-body dichotomy in human society; and some autobiographical references. From the Preface:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Persephone, Goddess of Spring and Queen of the Underworld in Greek mythology, became a truly fascinating mythological figure to me in 2015. I became determined, almost obsessed, as a photographer, to interpret a portion of her story. A complex myth, the part that initially captured my imagination involved Persephone\u2019s cyclic descent into the Underworld and return to Earth each Spring. <\/p>\n<p>Now that this small portion of the story is completed as a photographic series, I realize I was so driven to do the work because it presented an unexpected opportunity for me to synthesize much of my adult life \u2013 as a woman, as an anthropologist (PhD University of Arizona), as an obstetrician and gynecologist (MD University of Kansas, residency training University of New Mexico), and photographer (University of New Mexico).<\/p>\n<p>As I worked with the images from what was intended to be a simple photoshoot, I began to realize that in many ways I was telling a story of an archetypal Woman, through one woman&#8217;s learning what it is to be female, in both body and mind. This is not a story about a woman learning to accept society&#8217;s or other&#8217;s definitions, but rather it is about a woman defining herself to herself, in her many complexities. Twelve images from the series are presented in this volume.<\/p>\n<p>Myth, \u201cthe repository of the collective unconscious\u201d \u2013 I learned to say that as an anthropologist. I learned what it meant as a photographic artist well into my mature years. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It is fitting that the portion of the myth involving Persephone&#8217;s cyclic descent into the Underworld and return to Earth, bringing Spring with her, consumed so much of my time during fall and winter. I first became aware of the myth on September 15 in casual email correspondence with friend Jim Stallings. By the end of September I had submitted for jurying three images inspired by the myth, using subjects well known to me: sunflowers and butterflies. All three were juried into 2015 ANMPAS (Annual New Mexico Photographic Art Show) and shown there in December:<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2472 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/susanbgraham.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Graham_Susan_Brandt_image120151002-2-300x240.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"2015 ANMPAS Persephone\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-2204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/susanbgraham.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Graham_Susan_Brandt_image120151002-2-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/susanbgraham.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Graham_Susan_Brandt_image120151002-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-2204'>\n\t\t\t\tHeart of the Matter\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/susanbgraham.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/MG_8150-Edit-Edit-Edit-2_awakening-copy20150923-300x240.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"2015 ANMPAS Persephone\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-2205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/susanbgraham.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/MG_8150-Edit-Edit-Edit-2_awakening-copy20150923-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/susanbgraham.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/MG_8150-Edit-Edit-Edit-2_awakening-copy20150923.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-2205'>\n\t\t\t\tAwakening from the series, Persephone\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/susanbgraham.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Graham_Susan_Brandt_image320150930-240x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"2015 ANMPAS Persephone\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-2206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/susanbgraham.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Graham_Susan_Brandt_image320150930-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/susanbgraham.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Graham_Susan_Brandt_image320150930.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-2206'>\n\t\t\t\tEmerged, from the series, Persephone\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>I spent much of October photographing beautiful split pomegranates from my mother&#8217;s dwarf tree. I wasn&#8217;t really sure what I was going to do with all of those images; I just knew I had to photograph them.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of October I began thinking of doing a series with a model. As a photographer, at one time I had done maternity portraits. And, once I had worked with someone else&#8217;s model on that person&#8217;s project. But, I myself had never chosen and hired a model. I really had no idea how I was going to do that. But, on October 30, the perfect person just sort of appeared. The following day I surprised myself by walking up and asking her if she had ever been a photographer&#8217;s model or if she would ever consider being a photographer&#8217;s model. Almost as much to my surprise, she said that although she had not done that before, she would be willing to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly Angerosa and I did the photoshoot on November 12, 2015. I spent the next two months consumed with processing the images to say exactly what I wanted them to say, getting the images out for review, and then writing this explanation and meaning of the project as a Kindle ebook.<\/p>\n<p>While there is still some work to do on this series, it seems fitting that, while we will still have some very wintry, cold, windy days, the lengthening light with its hope of spring can be both seen and felt. Work is winding down on this series as spring approaches. Thoughts are turning to a new photoshoot with Kelly and a new emphasis in the spring. <\/p>\n<p>I hope you&#8217;ll take the time to click on the Preview (above) and consider sharing your thoughts. To those of you who have been through this saga with me, Thank You!<\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fcbkbttn_like fcbkbttn_large_button\"><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/susanbgraham.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/22\/persephone-choice-amazon\/\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\" layout=\"button_count\"  size=\"large\"><\/fb:like><\/div><div class=\"fb-share-button fcbkbttn_large_button \" data-href=\"https:\/\/susanbgraham.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/22\/persephone-choice-amazon\/\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"large\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"seriesmeta\">This entry is part <font color=\"red\">[part not set]<\/font> of 10 in the series <a href=\"https:\/\/susanbgraham.com\/blog\/series\/persephones-choice\/\" class=\"series-444\" title=\"Persephone's Choice\">Persephone's Choice<\/a><\/div><p>Persephone&#8217;s Choice: Every Woman&#8217;s Dilemma is now available as a Kindle ebook at Amazon Click on the image below for a free preview: Those of you who are regular readers here have seen this work from the time it was barely an idea, now up to its presentation as a Kindle ebook.It is important to &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/susanbgraham.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/22\/persephone-choice-amazon\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Persephone and Her Choice Now at Amazon&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,419,411,417,410,418,192,11,1],"tags":[315,421,412,423,193,317],"series":[444],"class_list":["post-2472","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-anmpas","category-goddesses","category-metaphors","category-myth","category-mythology","category-persephone","category-seasons","category-susan-brandt-graham","category-uncategorized","tag-anmpas","tag-myth","tag-mythology","tag-persephone","tag-seasons","tag-susan-brandt-graham","series-persephones-choice"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
