Vintage Prints

 You could also have a section called 'vintage prints' where you have the print, or still with minimal effects. Just basically nudes or still life 'la femme sur le canape' 'fancy whore', -although I still have to change that name, Jgirl, la femme sur le piscine, etc.

Film for texture

 I'm going to be getting my film camera, and shooting some of these pictures, maybe with ektar, or whichever the film I shot the house in Vermont, and get that developd.  To see if I can get that velvety texture and better depth rendering. Some of the digital pics are nice.  Especially with that Russian lens. It's just great for closeups.  Should max that out.

Digital landcapes

 


 

 The digital landscapes and still lifes may not have the gravitas of film, but I may be able to layer them.  And as for something to have in the car, it's a good idea.  Although clearly I need a better tripod.

I also need to get my storage on, first by using the desktop.  I may have to get some more memory.Could also use another computer.

I finished the street selling stands by the way.  They're one layer. Need to put some peg board on.  I could put a whole layer on each side, or just a strip.  May not have to limit myself to peg board, but thay may be the simplest.  Could put any board or thin wood up with some holes I reckeon. just for hooks.  could also maybe get some sticky stuff to hold the bottom in place.

fancy couch, negative transfer

 



 

I figured out how to transfer negatives using my scanner.  Also put some work on fancy couch.  Be nice to accentuate her curving performance. the timidity, and incredible sexiness, without overplaying or underplaying.  I'd be more afraid to underplay.

Sometimes the mosaic acts as a veil, or beaded curtain, through which one looks, as though from a different room.  Still it's important not to lose sexiness.

 

 

 I'm looking at merchant services companies.  I should have more of an idea how that works with the online setup I have now though.

Expressive position, virgo, rampante notes

 In photoderivĂ©, this series, I'm using multiple perspectives to derive an expressive pose.  Although this isn't the word I want, 'pose'. Perhaps position.  An expressive position derived from multiple perspectives.  Moving image is of prime importance because it gives range. 

Also, the mosaic is an energy. or even an entity, with characteristics. Upon and through which, forms may be derived.

These mosaics can take years to be satisfied with, but they should be captured fast, in order to use randomness.


Over thinking a mosaic, (density and depth should be attained though) doesn't work well, because there aren't enough thoughts to contain their many forms.  By overthinking, you're limiting the entity, and energy.


I've also come to the conclusion that the piece with michelle crawling is a piece which describes lust and sexuality. There's nothing wrong with crawling or sexuality. se rampante

I can also change the position of the reclining woman, in 'woman at the door', or 'the moon in virgo'.  I can use the position of Andrea on the floor, with her legs curled at her chest, when I looked at her, and knew for a fact that I loved her.

I could also express a small room, with the street. So she could be reclined against something, with her legs out.  Drea had such beautiful legs. That's what got my attention, she would wear short tight miniskirts and shorts. I could also use one of the many churches on the upper west side in the mosaic, and a tight winding brownstone street. Although that's more characteristic of the look closer to straight harlem, like 145, etc... A lamp a window in the room is important. St Nick

mademoiselle danse aux fleurs

Switching back and forth between html and compose on blogger is a pain in the ass.  They make so many disruptive changes these days.

This is coming out nice. Although the working title needs work.  Also the color is questionable to me.  Put up a flatiron yesterday that looks good.



It's possible this could be quieted with a calm mosaic, then put the leaves.  Still have to decide what to do w the images

shadow beneath the subject

 Don't forget the shadow.  When I'm drafting these, I need to practice shadow.  Shadow pushes the image off the page.  But the shadow should be in the picture, not outside the pic.  So if it's too subtle, I can stregthen it, then overlay the shadow, using a darken only(?)  sho the shadow comes out stronger, or I could cut the image out,

Becky McFarlane, Manhattan

  I wanted these to be more cubist, but they came out how they did. Still working.  I king of want to put a circle around the bottom, which I've called, 'Manhattan', and a poem from broadway is my beat, Broadway's glitter is soft, easy on the eye...'
I may.

Not about limits. About stepping beyond my limits and purisms

 


Working on a few more pieces, since finishing the resonse to the counter to the  motion to dismiss.  Getting really tight on funds, but still worked on these, and a few more.  One,



is calm, the other is frenetic.  The two different color 'forbidden city'(s) express different things.  The green one is more calm, the purple more frenetic.  Just need to make a few changes to the green one. For the energy in the figureheads, the purple is better.  Maybe I could put the jewish girl with the green one, or the michelle angelo.  working on the quand meme first is essential.  Don't need to go crazy with the cheese whiz, just basic exposure and contrast correction.

I'm also not above combining different quand memes.  Anything really, so long as it looks good.  I'm just not about limits.

I'm seeing these as a journey using density, depth, and imagination.

Don't forget to work on the tops of buildings the angled skyline, which goes into the distance.


 

Also, in dealing with the green and the purple ones, the green seems more understated.  The purple has more action.  Ofcourse, that's just a matter of the densities in the quand meme background.  So, in fact I could take the green, and re-work the background.  Perhaps use a more subdued eroticism, subdued, but no less strong.  Like the girl from torrid, or this other one I found.

More practice on the east side of the moraine

 Did some more practice with the equipment. On a bright stone on the softer slope of the terminal moraine, -on the east side of the lake. A ...
