blah........my life continues to stagnate and not really go anywhere. i really can't blam anyone but myself, but all the same i say blaaaaaaahhhh....
.......i feel cramped and congested - i have ideas for images to shoot, but my current situation does not provide the space necessary for it and finances do not allow for renting a seperate studio.....
ok so to pass time i will amuse any of you who wander this way with some more images from another project. while the images are quite different than the previous set i posted, conceptually they tie in through the idea of a journey beginning with nothin,g coalescing into varied forms and then dissipating only to reform again at the end. they are a story of birth and destruction - my own wyrouburous - yeah i know i did not spell it right just too lazy to look it up - fluidity and change - life in a cycle much as sex moves in a cycle of thought and desire through to the physical act and dissipating in orgasm - a little bit of death a little bit of life all mixed together...nothing is constant everything is fluid and changes. in an ideal world these would be displayed so that the group had no beginning or end - a round room - but here i must satisfy myself with an order from first to last and you have to make the jump back on your own. i am working on an animated piece that flows all these images together, but have hit a wall in terms of what my computer can handle in terms of rendering - i have 1.5 minutes of video left to render, but it will take 30 days for my computer to do it - anyone have access to a render lab with after effects?
now for those who care about the tech details...the images are digital composites taken from 35mm scans. all the original images were photographs of colored water taken under strobe lighting. the original images have had many techniques applied to them once they were brought into photoshop - way too many to try and detail here, but primarily i try to keep things to gaussian blur, hue annd contrast, layer modes and levels with a bit of erasing or cloning here and there. many of the composites had 10-12 layers while one or two had as many as 20, generating file sizes in the range of 1-5Gigabytes per image(my poor little iMac...). the final images are 13"x19" ink jet prints(Epson Photo 1280) at 300dpi on a semi gloss photo quality stock.
so here's image #1 to try and get you in to see the rest
