Catch up post. This certainly hasn’t been Post-A-Day, but at least I am still creating every day.
Day 13: I altered my Division of Safety of Dams thrifted t-shirt so it fits and can be proudly worn in public. Don’t you love that there is a whole division devoted to the safety of large concrete structures–like they watch out so the dams don’t fall down and scrape their knees.
Day 14: Another blurry night picture.
Day 15: More scribbling in my paperback art journal. This was fun with rectangles on page 90 but it didn’t exactly turn out picture-worthy.
Day 16: A “draft” framed version of one of my wire pieces. This one always reminded me of a grasshopper so it went onto green fabric board with sewn tracing paper weeds. Seeing it posted is really helping me detach and figure out what I want to change.

experimenting with an ir filter:
i don’t think i entirely know what i’m doing, so i’ll probably read up on ir filters a little more, ask around, and practice some more. but i thought it was kind of cool/funky-looking… the photo came out too dark, so i adjusted it a little and added a little bit of a vignette that i thought helped the composition of the image.

I live in Cupertino, California - a relatively small city in the Bay Area about an hour away from San Francisco. Nothing very exciting happens here, but it is nice anyway.

Greetings. My thing today is the end result when you combine a block of ice, your average desk lamp, a pretty winter leaf (or two) and a Canon 300D. The image editing was all done in iPhoto (unfortunately, as my computer is really in no mood to run Photoshop) and it was photographed with a 28-105 lens, which was not ideal, but I am at least interested with the results. I hope you enjoy! The full 10 photo set (along with all my other photos, well, at least the most recent 200 - I’m cheap like that) can be seen here.

Today I made a scroll blank. What’s a scroll blank? Well, in short, it’s a piece of pseudo-medieval art, used as the background or illustration for an award someone will receive. I’m excited, this one took a lot of time (more than I had to spend, but less than I planned for) and looks gorgeous. Watercolor (ok, guache) on smooth Bristol paper. First photo is close up with flash, second is full page, sans flash.
