Perceived Realities: G-d, Guns & Trump

These images were taken primarily in rural, eastern North Carolina, & all are post-Jan. 6th, 2021. This Bible Belt community is heavily Republican. The overwhelming majority are kind, peace-loving individuals with the best of intentions. Not unlike Democrats & Independents, they believe their views are morally justified & grounded in sound logic. If all sides respectfully listen to the concerns & opinions of others with an open heart & compassion guided by wisdom, it can provide an opportunity to heal the divide. These images are intended to serve as a springboard for such conversations.

Jon Kolkin’s internationally recognized photography invites contemplative reflection on principles for infusing true happiness into a meaningful and balanced life. Including multiple private dialogues with the Dalai Lama and his representatives, Kolkin engages in numerous worldwide compassion-centered initiatives by integrating his artistic photography, his active concern for people’s well-being as a humanitarian, and his medical insights as a physician. He is also a widely respected speaker, mentor, and teacher.
