Photographer Nathan Halliday Emerges with a Voice

Last night I had the privilege of being able to view the first collection of photographs taken by a young and talented new artist, Nathan Halliday entitled 'Capturing Vietnam'.  He recently took a life-changing and inspiring journey to Vietnam and was able to bring back the "beauty in simplicity" he saw in the Vietnamese people.  The photographs tell a personal story and brought about a feeling of peace that isn't often found these days.  From village women with faces full of stories and wisdom to children playing and enjoying life.  The natural beauty of the mountains and rice fields were enough to leave you longing for more.  It was truly a collection I couldn't help but feel touched by and what adds the icing on the cake is that 20% of the proceeds of photographs sold would go to their Vietnamese tour guide.  He helped guide them on their trip and is beginning a new business of his own.  We definitely love shopping for a cause here at TastyLittleDish and what better than receiving a beautiful work of art while knowing you are helping someone start a new life.  This was a moving and visually impactful series of photographs that keeps us on the edge of our seats and looking for what Nathan has in store for us in the future.

Another interesting point of interest is the gallery the collection was held at.  The David W. Streets gallery in Beverly Hills has a wonderful collection of modern, contemporary, and fine art along with sculptures and gorgeous antique furniture.  When speaking to David he informed me of the many types of events held here from viewings to tastings to private dinner parties.  It is a gorgeous space with an impeccable collection in an estate-like setting.  I'm sure we'll be seeing more of him and his elegant events to come.
