I couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing from this church. I didn't crop out the surrounding buildings I didn't take away surrounding trees. I only changed the sky. So, what was it that was missing from what I at first mislabelled as a cathedral? Well, perhaps it's that it isn't a cathedral anymore, … Continue reading Unfinished or Undone Cathedral
Painted Sky
The clouds swirled around some unseen source.Not sun, not moonSome light hole in the sky. It took a fraction of a second to see it dissipate after I caught it. When I brought the image into photoshop, some of the swirl had magically evaporated and left behind hints of this aquamarine sky. See More at Arts M.Perron
Watercolour Sky
Sunrise almost always inspires my creativity. The framing of this one was I'm portent, as I was taking random shots from across the street and found myself frustrated by the signs of human presence: houses, electrical wires, etc… While cropping to get the framing right, I saw more than my original attraction tin to the … Continue reading Watercolour Sky
Textured Sunrise
The tension is all in the texture! I kept playing with detail, definition and focus. On the camera, I could tell there was something to see in the trees themselves and it was making me anxious. The blessing of poor eyesight has been that I need to trust my instincts and grab shots that feel … Continue reading Textured Sunrise
Stained Glass Sky
This shot was originally taken at sunrise. The silhouettes of the trees played a fun contrast against the redness of the sun. When I played with saturations, the redness of the sun painted the whole sky this gorgeous blue. In the close-up you can see that the slightest wisp of cloud also got highlighted in … Continue reading Stained Glass Sky
Red Sky Morning 1
"Red Sky in the morning, sailor's warning" Isn't that how the saying goes? There is a strange tension between the bands of colour in the sky and how the silhouetted trees contrast with them. I played a lot with this image and found it increasingly painterly. Something similar to a group of Seven styling. See … Continue reading Red Sky Morning 1
Nature’s Wonders
The tree outside my front door gives us endless joy and beauty. from the sounds coming from it to the endless colour and light plays that shine through it, from day to day, and season to season. Here we catch the remaining deep-green in the shadows under the flames of fall colours. The colours are … Continue reading Nature’s Wonders
How is light fluid in time?
This week in my pursuit of an Art Ed degree... Starting with a curiosity of how light became fluid enough to paint with, I set up an exploration of the medium in my usual fashion: by playing with it. In regard to my own learning style, this workshop demonstrated at least two of Knowles’ assumptions … Continue reading How is light fluid in time?
Selfies vs Self-Portraits – An Academic Reflection Paper
This week on my journey to getting my Art Ed. degree... Both selfies & self-portraits express visions of myself in time. Each serves as nostalgic reminders of my past and communicates how I wish to be perceived by others. The selfie requires more spontaneity and invites the viewer into a conspiracy on where I am … Continue reading Selfies vs Self-Portraits – An Academic Reflection Paper
The Many Colours of Black & White Photography
This week in In Pursuit of my Art Ed Degree... I've played with black & white imagery in the past, but always as part of the post-production process of my work. Removing the colour after the shot is taken fascinates me. The missing colour always seems to give something elusive that adds tension and mystery … Continue reading The Many Colours of Black & White Photography
