Alan Babbitt - Light and Motion

I really enjoy seeing light and motion captured in a photo!  The work below are images from Alan Babbitt, another artist that I'm now in love with.  In addition to other health issues, he suffers from Parkinson's.  When he was first diagnosed he wasn't sure he'd be able to continue to work as a photographer.  Rather than let the hand tremors beat him, he chose to make them an integral part of his work.  You can see some of his work and read more about him here...  http://www.abproductions.com

Devyn Brown

I am posting these images because they are some of my most favorite drawings and/or photoshop work done by up and coming tattoo artist, Devyn Brown.  She's not famous (yet) but these images inspire and intrigue me.   http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/devyn%20brown

Carol Guzy

I am so glad my previous post on Carol Guzy worked :)  I have been doing a lot of searching for artists and/or photographers since class first started.  I've compiled a list of about 20 that I am interested in learning more about.  I just hadn't blogged about any of them yet because I wasn't sure I could figure this stuff out.  Now that I know I can create links and post images I can get on with the job of blogging about them! As I may have mentioned, the first artist that really hit me on a gut level was Carol Guzy.  I can very much relate to her as an artist.  When I take a photo, I'm usually asking myself what story I'm trying to tell.  She inspires me to become even more aware of my surroundings, and the people in them.      

Carol Guzy #1

In searching for the weekly artists to feature on the class blog, I found Carol Guzy.  She was described as a photographer who is known for capturing 'feelings' in her images.  When  I started viewing some of her work, I was awestruck.  "It's important to remember," Carol Guzy says, "that they (pictures) are only tools. It's the people in the pictures and those who view them that are important."  This will be my first attempting at creating links, so I hope it works!

Color Quiz 100%!!!

Just took that color quiz and got a PERFECT score!!!!  Wow, I wasn't expecting that.

Progress update...

Stayed for Open Lab again today to get more familiar with LR.  I feel a little better than I did.  But the problem I usually have is that I forget it all between classes/labs.  I'm noticing that some of the things that are more repetitive are now becoming easier to remember... so I know eventually I will probably break through this wall.  I'm going to organize my notes a little better now, so I can find my way to the steps to perform certain actions.  I'm also going to do some research on artists for the blogging assignment.  It's quieter here in lab and there are minimal distractions.

Later people...

Blogging along...

I'm not doing a very good job of blogging.  It's just so foreign to me.  But after an hour of trying to remember my log in PW, here I am.  Turned out to be the difference between a capital and lower case letter.  Made me feel really stupid, I'll chalk it up to the fact that I've been sick the last two days.  

I stayed for lab tonight to work on the 7 images Kate wanted from the White Balance assignment.  I think I'll need to return to the lab again between today and Monday.  It seems I misunderstood what was wanted back when we got that handout.  So I'll try to be back sometime before Monday's class.  I would try tomorrow but with snow/ice storms coming our way... I'm not sure that'll happen.  I'll get it done though.

So anyway, I'm going to keep this short so I can try to figure out how to post images and the info about the "one artist per week" challenge.  I've already got several I like.  I am just still so green at all of this.  But, I know the only way to learn is to keep "blogging" along ;)  One day the lightbulb will go off and I'll be happy I stuck with this.
