the photoshop project

24 07 2008

White rabbit, I keep racing. And, late.

Can hardly wait to feel speed and comfort of techno familiarity.

Reexamined, and decided to change picture taking philosophy. Blurry photos just don’t cut it for photoshoping. I admit, I haven’t even tried to be diligent about the few rules that I do know. And so, I have dug out my tripod… Now all I need is another lifetime to take some quality photos.

Textures within nature captivate. The only ones I wanted to work with. The velvety green of fungus.

Quail egg shells,  feel  so delicate, look a little like rocks, blue tinted hollow.                   Eggs eaten by patrons of a certain restaurant in Kits. Numbers of little birds in captivity, laying these.

I needed to start making, and , the results are giving me mixed feelings.

I took my brick+ cats in eggs composition apart, without saving, and now it is gone. Must have been out of my mind. I did want to redo cats in eggs including the hand. Maybe a more coherent series that way.

I guess next time.





concerning the fake real

16 07 2008

I had a moment the other day, where I realized that the computer design process doesn’t come naturally to me. And why would it, I have made a handful of things in photo shop. To make a plan, go out there and shoot/collect images to use for that plan, rather then improvising from things that I already have.

Possibilities are endless, and I’m dwelling in the endless, without committing.

On a positive note, I have this blog under control. All I’m missing is some imagery.

And a whackload of time.
