Photographic Impressionistic Illusionistic
Photography Without Rules
To be specific
It’s the Pacific
That’s terrific
All photographs require “pre-visualization”.
Polar Coordinates is an action performed in Photoshop to create “tiny worlds”. In this case, I use the inexpensive Elements version. It requires a little clean up and manipulation….but is a bunch of fun, and mind bending results sometimes.
It’s always an interesting exercise to review the work from the previous year. It’s sort of a snapshot of the previous 12 months and reveals how much effort was put into the craft.
As expected, my photographic output was “less than usual”. That happens when artistic efforts are divided among other mediums.
Still, 2019 was a year dedicated to returning to older habits that have suffered over the last four years. Most specifically, just getting out there to make photographs.
Here are some one-second snippets from last year:
A little hummingbird friend
Watching me from a safe distance
I ask, “How’s the trail today?”
“Grass is making a comeback.
You know how grass is!
Always shows up early to the party.
And tree…
Well you know tree.
He hangs on to leaves
To the bitter end
Here,
Where it is freezing in the morning
And balmy in the afternoons.
Tree,
Is a little confused.
Have a nice walk.”
“Thank you.
Have a nice…
A nice…
Fly.”
