Work in Progress

Worked in the studio last weekend. Need to practice with this resource while it is still available to me!

Experimented with the gels. Discovered that pairing yellow and red do not make orange, however, pink and yellow do. Shot in red, yellow, blue and green. And, gels cause a lot of noise, thought the images were ruined, but actually, it works considering the subject matter.

With this project I am challenging my lighting and Photoshop skills. I'm working on a pair of creative portraits, one a goddess, one a demon. So far the shots using the red gels are the best for the demon and the blue for the goddess. Now the "fun" begins.

For me, being out in the world, wandering, being mobile is my natural state. I would rather be doing almost anything other than sitting at a computer (even housework!!) I capture as much as possible in camera to reduce post processing.

I'm very excited over the results so far. I see I learned more the past few years than I thought!

Here's a small preview of my work in progress:

Kali: no illusions, only truth

Lilith: by your side or by myself

Yes, they still need A LOT of work. :-)

YES!!!!

Received my acceptance letter from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design!!!

Now for all the practical details........planning the move.........deciding when to move...........funding.........deciding where to live...........EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Apologies

Work in Progress, that's what this blog is..........

Learning as I go......as I said in my very first post: If I wait until I can do it "perfect" I'll NEVER do it!!

I am well aware that there are format issues, some things are just not "pretty", some I see, some I may not........feed back (constructive criticism, accolades) is always welcome.

Thanks for bearing with me through the learning process.

Lavabo - I Shall Wash

My current work has been experimenting, attempting to draw the viewer in to the three cubic feet of my kitchen sink. Looking up close at dirty dishes I have discovered a beauty that I never imagined existed, I’ve stared desolation in the face, I’ve seen the world in the tine of a fork.

I started this project in September 2012, and have been overwhelmed by my discoveries.  Who knew there could be so much in so small a space?

Blogger Mobile!

My sincere apologies for hiding in my shell. Those who know me personally understand why, the rest of you, well, I'm sure as you get to know me, you will piece things together, surmise, and come to understand.

Going to do all that I can to keep in touch, share glimmers of my world, my work, my thoughts. Postings will have no set schedule, will be erratic and, hopefully, interesting.

Yeah, I kinda figured that I would be lax with this -- just downloaded the blogger mobile app and will be making a point to work on this more -- writer's block seems to be lifting. :-)
