If Walls Could Talk…

Yes, if walls could talk…

One thing I really think they would say (I'm still talking about walls) is, “hang something inspirational on me like this artwork”.

A Lot of Figuring

Yes, I’m still working on blog. I’ve been working on this blog since 2010. I’ve basically been trying to figure out how a blog works. I know, that’s a lot of figuring.

Calming Vibes

You might be wondering what I’m doing. I’m trying to send along some calming vibes, from me to you, by way of my print, “Green Joshua”. I’m asking you to slow down so you can really see it. Besides, I think we are all going too fast anyway. That being said, my prints are designed to be seen in person. Face-to-face interaction works best with this work.

Selling Prints – 2025

This gets a little unsettling, the act of stating one’s prices in this contemporary art endeavor. Or rather this art business. The reality is that I have nothing to lose and much to gain – though it is challenging to see that right now. So, to be clear, my artwork is for sale.

A Quick Look at My Motion Project

The Motion Project is another ongoing project I plan on working on for some time.  What I was doing yesterday with this image creation was trying to make interesting compositions on the fly.  I was using my 6D Mark II on shutter priority (Tv) making the aperture set to auto.  I had also set my ISO to auto as well.  I normally set my ISO to 100 for this Motion Project but I was experimenting with the ISO.  Nonetheless, for this image, the ISO went to 100 and the aperture went to F/8.  My predetermined shutter speed was 1/640 second (my proven shutter speed for this project).  Also, my focal length was 200mm and my exposure bias was -1 step.  That exposure bias is a favorite of mine for everything I photograph, really.  And in that instant, I created this image.  Of course, there is my postproduction secret sauce that brings about this final rendering.  So, as you can see, this really wasn’t outside of my comfort zone, but it was a little experimentation with the ISO being set to auto.  I’m a little obsessed with control when I create images but I’m starting to loosen up, a little – a very little.

(Designation, Motion Project 40452 – not named at this time.)

Joshua Tree and Sky

Hey, Happy New Year!!  So, when should we stop wishing people “Happy New Year”?  Never.  I read somewhere that you should start each day with expectation.  So, let’s wish everyone a happy new year all of the time.  My expectation is that I photograph wonderful things all of the time.  This is one.  I took this photograph of a Joshua tree way back on Sep 2011 not far from my kids’ bus stop.  You’d never know that I was in the middle of Victorville.  Well, if you live here you might.  Just the same – it’s cool, huh?
