99¢ Photoshoot! **SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT**

99¢ Photoshoot! SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Hey everyone,

Today’s blog is mainly going to consist of a video that I wanted to share with you for two reasons:

People normally think that you have to spend a significant amount of money on a photoshoot. (This is completely false, I mean you can but you don’t have too.)
You can use found objects, go to the dollar store or even thrift store.

In this video, Lucas Blalock, a New York based photographer, uses dollar store items to create unique compositions & some great photography.

Natural Forces, Flora & Becoming One With The Earth!

Hello Everyone, h ope you are having a great day! Mapped Out #2 , 36" × 48", acrylic soft-pastel on stretched canvas, 2017 I love nature especially where I live because we are surrounded by fields of fruit. We get to see them blossom in the spring & the leaves change colors throughout the fall. I’ve been doing a lot of gardening lately; planting/transplanting roses, planting succulents, pruning & keeping up the yard. The list goes on... I am currently working on creating a cactus themed raised bed. The borders are made out of rounded bricks. I also have been looking at a lot of different types of art on Instagram, Youtube & Pinterest. I came across an Heather Day , an artist that takes nature & transfers is on to a canvas. Her artwork is very expressionistic as she combines colors with textures to create some wonderful works of art. Some techniques that she uses remind me of the way Jackson Pollock used to paint. They both use their enti

Deep Meanings, Butterflies & Dark Humor

I think about thinking, 2000 Today, I’m going to be sharing a couple of my favorite photos from a photographer, Duane Michals . Duane is known for writing notes (annotating) on his photography & having a dark sense of humor. I will be briefly touching on each photo to keep the descriptions short and sweet. Michals received a BA from the University of Denver in 1953 & worked as a graphic designer until his involvement with photography deepened in the late 1950s. He currently lives & works in New York City. “I think about thinking” shows Duane in a chair, reading an open book that has the sentence “I think about thinking.” This self-portrait is about vanity & how he wants people to perceive him. He wants people to see what he is about & not judge him on how he looks. Dr. Heisenberg's Magic Mirror of Uncertainty, 1998, (6) 5x7in. "Dr. Heisenberg's Magic Mirror of Uncertainty" suggests that u ncertainty allows the c

From Nature To Machine; 2 Year old Snowman!

Hello Everyone, If you are new to by blogs, welcome. If you are not new to my blogs, welcome back! Hope everyone had a wonderful & safe spring break. This past week was an eventful week for me. Going on the trip to San Francisco, it being weekend Easter weekend & trying to get getting back into the groove of things back home. On our trip, we tried some new restaurants, went to the California Academy of Sciences, SFMOMA , Ripleys!, Madame Tussauds & the San Francisco Dungeon. We walked around UC Berkeley, Haight Street in SF & around Pier 39, which was pretty fun. It was fun, finding inspiration in the big city that surrounds its visitors with art & beautiful weather. Peter Fischli and David Weiss, Snowman , 1987/2016 Here in Central California, we have been experiencing warmer weather than usual, which we aren’t used to because we were having nice San Francisco/Los Angeles weather. The other day, as I was leaving the store; walking to my ca
