Stone
“…the photographer can make the view feel the real values of human emotions: Love, spirituality, garner, intimacy, mystery, curiosity, humanism, and the desire to discover and enjoy life.
It is rewarding to encounter David Scheinbaum, who represents all these characteristics and continuously works to achieve excellence.
The way David presents the world to us, life and especially stone bring home and happiness and a very special joy.
I am sure many of you will join me in thanking David for sharing his talents and in paying homage to a man who is an example of what an artist should be.”
Ricardo Legorretta, excerpt from the forward to Stone: A Substantial Witness
Pablo Neruda “Poema XIX’ from the work Las Piedras del Cielo
Stones of the Sky
Silence is intensified
into a stone:
the trembling world,
wars, birds, houses,
cities, trains, woods,
the wave that repeats the sea’s questions,
the unending passage of dawn,
all arrive at stone, sky nut:
a substantial witness.
The dusty stone on the road
knows Pedro, and his father before,
knows the water from which he was born:
it is the mute word of earth:
it says nothing because it’s the heir
of the silence before, the motionless ocean,
of the empty land.

The stone was there before the wind,
before the man, before the dawn:
its first movement
was the first music of the river.
