my photography page thingy

[Matt Harty]

Was the apartment one tough to do? I liked it alot.

[glowbelly]

shooting it wasn't hard at all. i just used a tripod set up in one spot in my living room and took all the pictures at 50mm (it's the closest lens setting to what your eye sees, although i think it's smaller with a digi cam). i started at eye level and went in a 360 degree circle all around. then worked my way up and down, doing the same thing.

putting it together was sorta difficult, mostly because my computer is running out of space and the file had over 100 separate layers before i flattened it. plus each individual picture had to be shrunk down to 3"x2". that was the most time consuming part of it. it's a fun exercise. i think i'm gonna try doing it outside once it starts getting nicer out.

i like your living space. those panoramic things always look like theyre hard to do but everyone says theyre not.

i'm not too hot about the ghery shot, something about the top and bottom of it irritates me, great colors though.

the remade family shot looks great, didnt do what i thought it would do, like leave a vacuum, well done.

the pottery is... wow. i think it was neat to create but, not to be rude, but it looks like one of those presents you get that you have to try really hard not to impusively made a wicked face at.

dont stop

[glowbelly]

at the pottery comment!

it's really hard to make coil pottery look good and the color is much better in person, but i completely understand what you are saying.

i HATE the gehry building piece. it's not my style at allllllll and what's sad about it is that the project that we were assigned would have been super cool if i wasn't restricted to the building. it also may have been a bit better if i was able to shoot the inside of the building, but i missed class that day cause i was sicky icky. the cool things about those colors is that they are not manipulated in any way.

panoramic photo collages are not only fun but definitely easy to do. you can create some super cool looking images out of them too, but they are time consuming.

i like the family one better without my face in it. i think the original was a bad case of photoshop overload and it created a super sappy effect.

thanks so much for commenting on my stuff, rez. i really look forward to hearing what you think about it all. i like your honesty too. good show!

It is all very impressive and wonderful, i especially like untitled, it makes me all giddy inside when i read the little description. ;D

[glowbelly]

you are a sneaky little turtle

[Dole]

I like the panoramic one....your apt looks pretty groovy karen!

[glowbelly]

i like it

it's that time again, ya'll:

there pictures i see sometimes that when i see it, i dont know what it really does, but i just hear things that go along with it, some i know, some are vague vibrations, thats one thing that lets me know it's a good photo. something else that happenes is that it shifts my mood entirely, that happened here too.

i'm surfing the net feeling pretty static and neutral, and i come across your new photos, and i'm stuck in ambience while i look at the solitary branches floting in monotony. strange for something in such monotone to give a strange sense of warmth. excellent photos again.

the beat one on the other hand, made me see red almost instantly. my current girlfriend used to be a victim to abuse, and i swear to shit it pisses me off like nothing else. to think that someone like you was subject to fucking idiocies like that just adds on to it. i guess it's effecive, but it was pretty damn jarring from the last photo i saw.

the four views of a door are friggin excellent from a design point. imagining these put next to each other as a series excites me already. ridiculously subtle, simple, and making elegance out of the ordinary. i hope presenting these really goes well fo you.

i'm working on more photo-manips like last time. putting structures, colors, and light together. it's way time consuming, but fun as hell. i dont know when i'll put them out. if you have aim or msn we could msg each other with what we have

[glowbelly]

wow. thank you, rez.

i can't wait to see your manips. i really liked the last ones i saw.

erm, i'm gonna go stop being embarrassed now. :o

[glowbelly]

this is the first of a series of experiments that i am working on:

caption contest.

no, really, this looks like an ad for scotch tape... maybe because hp did/does the same thing. so if youre looking to go into advertising, i'd say youre halfway there

i'd fill in the white spots with a grayer tinge though, so that it doesnt look incomplete.

nice

[glowbelly]

why am i always so late in replying to your comments?

anyways, the tape thing was part of an assignment that we had to do in my digi-imaging class. my teacher was hell bent on getting us to do some panoramic photo collages and i was sick of seeing the same large landscapes done over and over again. i thought it would be interesting to take a small, everyday object to create the same kind of image. i recently printed each picture at about 7x10 and drymounted it. it's pretty large.

i think i'm gonna do some more like this, and try to frame them in plexi. i was even considering printing this one on transparancies...who knows!

anyways, it's that time again. i uploaded 3 pics from a walk i took with brian on wednesday. we were looking for a tree that i want to photograph for a wedding present, but couldn't find the right one.

that watercolors one is fantastic

it is my new background

[glowbelly]

i think you're fantastic :o

[Rez]

the water color one is THE SHIT. damn!
in regards to your PM,
i now know what you mean by impressionist type photos, well, i knew what you were getting at, but not what you were thinking about. now i get it, but i'm in a mode again, and it's got nothing to do with it
you'll see later.

[glowbelly]

that one water shot has about 5000 different pictures in it alone. i could mess with that all day. the one up there is actually a cropped version of the original.

the impression photo isn't a mistake photo. i showed it to another board and they were all like "way to explain away a bad photo" and i told 'em to shut up, cause i took it that way on purpose.

they are a very technical lot and don't always get me

[Rez]

technical whores piss me off.
theyre pissants who're complete snobs with some half-witty quip about photos they dont "get" while they also dont get what photography is for.

[subterfuge]

Allof your photos are really cool. I like the experimental tape one and the filimental the best.

[glowbelly]

thanks

there's more!

for someone who's seen enough cezanne, what you just did was way cool.
you actually managed to make it look like he would, which is everything falling out of its place. the wine bottle looks about to tip over, the fruit about to fall off the table (classic, btw).

still lives, to me, are numb and boring, but i just appreciated the knack with which that was done.

GET OUT OF MY THREAD YOU SPAMMING WHORE.

and thanks, rez. i took about 30 snaps of that setup before i got the right one. i keep finding myself being inspired by the old french painters.

there's some new snaps over there, by the way. i'm not going to put the link in this post again cause i'm sick of typing it.
