Hello, my name is Fred Casselman. It’s a blessing to have you here. This place is called Earth Echo, a gallery to help enliven and liberate human consciousness. If you happened to enter at this page, you may wish to begin your visit at Earth Echo home. And my webrings are here.
If you are enjoying your stay, please tell a friend or two. I would enjoy hearing your thoughts and receiving comments and feedback. email me at fred@earthecho.com. I love hearing from you and respond to all who write.
The Earth Echo website will be celebrating its twelfth anniversary in May, 2008. You may view a partial version of the site from late 1996 at the Wayback Machine.
It’s a lot of fun doing this website, but I also enjoy printing and exhibiting my images. Printing them in a large size format on fine art paper gives them a wonderful new dimension and presence. My work, professionally matted and framed, is available for new exhibits. Please contact me at fred@earthecho.com
The most recent exhibit was in May, 2007 in my hometown, Framingham, Massachusetts, USA. Here is a very nice review of the show. I have also exhibited at the Institute of Noetic Sciences in Petaluma, California, the Chelsea Waterfront Gallery, and the Boston Cyberarts Festival. I have been accepted for the 2008 edition of Marquis Who’s Who in America.
The first exhibit currently seheduled for 2008 is August 16 through September 27 at the Fitzwilliam Town Library, Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire, USA. The second exhibit is November through December 2008 at the Gleason Public Library, Carlisle, Massachusetts, USA.
A few years ago we acquired a second home, something we had wanted for a very long time. It’s a log home way back in the woods, a true retreat. I’ve enjoyed taking pictures there as the seasons pass and thought you would enjoy seeing them. Welcome to the house at the end of the road.
An important work being done on our planet today is the renewing of our sense of peace and harmony with our Earth, the cosmos, with one another, and with ourselves. Artists are playing a role in this work as they have throughout all of human history. Our Earth and our human societies are once again being filled with peace, love, and light--it is happening, it is much closer than we think. Earth Echo is pleased to be a part of this work. And here are some of my favorite artists of a like perspective.
Over the past several years, I have had visions and dreams for the spiritual evolution of my church. This has been a sort of synergistic activity with the art. I have done a writeup which may interest those of many different backgrounds. Click here to read it. The page opens in new window so you can easily return here.
There are a number of interesting sites with whom I have reciprocal links. Click here for some pleasant surprises and hidden gems!
As violence and ongoing warfare still occupies the front page, it’s nice to know we have other choices.
Perhaps we have had enough of the violence we have lived with for thousands of years and are ready to just let it fall away.
There is little we need to do to make this happen, just let it fall away.
Just dwell no longer on war and violence in your mind or your heart.
Gently acknowledge and release the darkness within.
Breathe peace.
Breathe Love.
Go about your life.
And let your light shine for all to see.
Many, many of you (well, at least one or two of you) have been asking to see pictures of me. So here are my pictures.
I am very pleased that Earth Echo has been invited to participate in a couple of wonderful Webrings. So check out the new Webring Page.
Here is a wonderful free gift from me to you. I will focus an intent, a very powerful directed prayer, that will help strengthen your connections to the wonderful source of peace, love, and light that already lies within you. To receive the intent via email, just write me at fred@earthecho.com and prepare to receive. Please make sure to ask for the intent. The free poster I have offered in the past is no longer available as I was unable to keep up with the demand. The poster was just a poster, but the intent is a loving gift of light and divinity.
Here are five wonderful places that share the new spiritual energy:
Lightworker.com Crimson Circle Kryon Star Quest Starchild Ascension
The Peace Page by Elsajoy is a wondrous, love-filled site that I visit often.
Barbara Wolf’s Global Meditations Website coordinates and promotes global meditations. Check it out, along with the site of King Tet the web master.
NASA has a site featuring an incredible Astronomy Picture of the Day. These images invite us to view our Earth and our existence in a broader, more cosmic perspective.
I am very grateful for all the tools that help make my work possible. The tools I currently use include the Apple Mac computer (love my Mac), Adobe Photoshop, Corel KPT Filters, Xaos Tools Terrazzo, Corel Painter, Studio Artist, and nik Color Efex Pro.
Many of my images start off as a photograph. Over the years I have used a 35mm film camera, but in 2000 I switched over to a Nikon digital camera, giving me a much greater sense of freedom.
The miracle that makes publishing this work possible is the World Wide Web. My site preparation tool is BBEdit. Adobe Photoshop is used to prepare the images. The web space provider that hosts this site is Clearlight Communications whom I would recommend most highly. And a very special thanks to Deborah O’Brien for her excellent work in proof reading the site and checking links.
I also enjoy printing and exhibiting my work. My current printer is an Epson 7800, which can print image sizes up to 24 inches. So, a square image would print up to 24 by 24 inches. A 3-to-1 panoramic image would print up to 72 by 24 inches. The paper used is Museo Silver Rag by Crane. This is an all-cotton, archival art paper. A Gretag Macbeth Eye-One Pro is used for color management. The resulting prints are truly beautiful. Even I am impressed :)
