Playing With Dark

Since photography is really all about playing with light I tried some darker images with very specified light.

Washington DC

I went downtown today which is a rare treat.  I rode the Metro and explored some art in the Smithsonian.  Its good to get outside of your comfort zone every now and again.

Shaping Light

Having taken a break from making art on paper or canvas I am learning a lot about photography.  Like the more traditional forms of art, painting and sculpture, photography is all about shaping light.

Altered

Just A Regular Day

At this point I take a camera with me wherever I go.  Just to see what I might find.  Today was just a day to chill at a friends pool and, per usual, I found some interesting photos.

A Painted Background

I finished a commission last night.  Paintings aren’t something I have been working on lately and it was fun to play with paint for a while.  Maybe I could make a painted background piece and then layer portraits on top of it?  Not a bad idea.  This is what I worked on tonight including the commission….

Girls Dressing Up

My friend and I went to the vintage clothing room at the local antique shop.  We tried on dresses and had fun!

Something New?

I know why I want new images each night.  Because I have grown up in a culture where we are bombarded with imagery all the time.  Television, magazines, movies, and now the internet.  Obviously this is not a new concept that other artists haven’t explored over and over again, Warhol and Lichtenstein come to mind and there are scores of others.  I too want to find the ‘something new’ in each day.

This is the first installation in a series I want to explore using doll house furniture.
