A future project


in an earlier post I mentioned how much I love and admire the work of the Impressionist. Renoir , Degas  , Morisot , Picasso , Manet , Seurat , Van Gogh and the artist that really rocks my world , Claude Monet.

one of the projects planned for the future , if , I can never find the time is a series of photos that immulate the work of the impressionist .

maybe the first one below will be one of them .

Lightwritings and shadow boxing


2014 is turning out to be a very busy and important year for me. There are so many things going on all at the same time that it amazes me I'm able to get anything done.

one of those is my new website, which isn't finished but I have decided to upload today .hopefully it will motivate me to finish the rest before to long. I haven't worked on web pages in so long it was like learning all over again with all the web changes. It got to be such a struggle at one point that I was thinking of naming it , " Lightwritings and shadow boxing". 

I now need to write the text pages and come to a decision whether Im going to add galleries or a slideshow.One real problem is that while sorting photos for this project I keep coming across some from the past that I can't help but start working on. here is one from October 2007 . I think. 

below that is a link to my new site. hopefully it will be completed before to long.

overwhelmed


Im usually spending this time of year hibernating away until April or May. there are so many  projects going on at once that there just isn't time to be sitting around on my Levi's waiting until the spring. I already finished sorting all my RAW and PSD files and I'm now working on " keywording " them all and sorting them in selections by projects.

there is also my website that I'm working on but that is on the back burner while finishing the above project. my artist statements , organizing my future projects, updating and rewriting my notebooks. planing vacations, scouting photo shoots and having my equipment cleaned , repaired and readied for next month. 

all this is part of my hobby , I can only wonder how hard I would have to work if photography was my career path. I'd probably starve.
