[Chuck Taylor All Star Core Hi]

Image by RHiNO NEAL
The Original. In 1917, All Star sneaker gave the world a blank canvas. At first it played basketball and then Rock & Roll and then everything else. It went along with athletes and artists, experimenters, rebels, visionaries and now, even after everything it has been, it remains anything you want.

Quince Blossoms, detail 4

Image by Universal Pops
Thank you for all views and comments. They are always very much appreciated!

Quince Blossoms, 1878, oil on canvas, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond, Virginia. The painting shows quince blossoms in a large Italian earthenware pot next to a Japanese fan with goldfish. Also shown are two Chinese bowls. The textile is Near Eastern. This combination of multi-cultural elements is characteristic of the decorative effects employed by follows of the aesthetic movement where the art was to have no purpose except Art for Art’s Sake.

Charles Caryl Coleman (1840-1928) was an expatriate American artist who called the island of Capri his home for close to 60 years. He was born in Buffalo, and studied art there and in Paris under Thomas Couture between 1859 and 1862. He returned to the United States, serving in the 100th Regiment of the New York Volunteers in the Civil War; shot in the jaw, he was discharged in 1863. By 1866 he was in Rome; in 1870 he converted a former convent into his villa (Villa Narcissus), which became a center for other expatriates and followers of the aesthetic movement. “In 1910, in the latter part of his life, Coleman fell ill and was not expected to live; yet, he did and carried on for almost another two decades, playing the role of the eccentric artist, presenting himself in outlandish dress to house-guests, throwing parties and generally having a good time right to the end. He is buried on Capri.” [ ac-support.europe.umuc.edu/~jmatthew/naples/coleman.html ]

He did close to 300 paintings in a variety of styles and a variety of genre covering portraits, still lifes, landscapes, and works depicting classical architectural elements. His landscapes featured the scenery around the Bay of Naples, including a series on the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, The still lifes depicted decorative elements, an amalgam of items from numerous cultures, often with a touch of the exotic and Oriental. He crafted art frames and the one used for his friend Elihu Vedder’s “Cup of Death” is attributed to him [see www.flickr.com/photos/universalpops/6816949790/ ]. He also did the frame for this image, Quince Blossoms, but I foolishly neglected to include it in the photo. Coleman did some murals for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition and some designs for the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola in New York for Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company.

Oil Painting By Sylvia

A few nice photo to canvas images I found:

Oil Painting By Sylvia

Image by sirwiseowl
Hooray! Sylvia (my wife) has at last finished this oil painting. Six months back a friends asked Sylvia if she could paint a large canvas of the tiny blacksmith photo that she was fascinated with.
What a job! Most of the copying work was done in pen and ink. A very slow and detail project. The final coloring of the canvas was done with oil paints.
While viewing this painting I'm reminded of the poem "The Village Blacksmith" by H. W. Longfellow. I remember learning this at school.

Under a spreading chestnut tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, a mighty man is he,
With large and sinewy hands;
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands.

His hair is crisp, and black, and long,
His face is like the tan;
His brow is wet with honest sweat,
He earns whate'er he can,
And looks the whole world in the face,
For he owes not any man.

Week in, week out, from morn till night,
You can hear his bellows blow;
You can hear him swing his heavy sledge,
With measured beat and slow,
Like a sexton ringing the village bell,
When the evening sun is low.

And children coming home from school
Look in at the open door;
They love to see the flaming forge,
And hear the bellows roar,
And catch the burning sparks that fly
Like chaff from a threshing-floor.

He goes on Sunday to the church,
And sits among his boys
He hears the parson pray and preach,
He hears his daughter's voice,
Singing in the village choir,
And it makes his heart rejoice.

It sounds to him like her mother's voice,
Singing in Paradise!
He needs must think of her once more,
How in the grave she lies;
And with his hard, rough hand he wipe
A tear out of his eyes.

Toiling,--rejoicing,--sorrowing,
Onward through life he goes;
Each morning sees some task begin,
Each evening sees it close;
Something attempted, something done,
Has earned a night's repose.

Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy friend,
For the lesson thou hast taught!
Thus at the flaming forge of life
Our fortunes must be wrought;
Thus on its sounding anvil shaped
Each burning deed and thought!

365 exhibition 1

Image by tim caynes
Welcome to your blank canvas. This is the beginning of day 1 of 3 days that have been set aside to get 365 photos onto this space in readiness for the Project 365 exhibition that opens at the end of day 3. The exhibition is taking place at Norwich Arts Centre involving 3 local photographers and a Belgian musician recording an album a month for a year.

This space is all mine. I've got 365 prints of various sizes, 10 wooden frames, 2 tubes of UHU, a table, and its snowing. All I need now is a ladder. A really big ladder. Oh, and some mirror mounts. And screws. And my Dremmel. And tools. And coffee. And a plan. As you can tell, I'm not entirely prepared, even though I appear to have brought a car load of stuff with me. This should be pretty simple though. Except I've just noticed that Alex and Nat, who arrived before me, to get started, have got everything rather more organised than I have.

Image by Nathan Marciniak
My first major art purchase. One of Lori Earley's stunning, hyper-naturally gorgeous babes printed on canvas and mounted by yours truly. Pain in the ass! No fancy pants tools just me my aching hands and a staple gun. (frankly, for what I paid for this I sure would've liked to get it already mounted, but hey whaddaya gonna do?) Illuminated by fancy pants Solux fixture. Overall I'm stoked, it is the cat's pajamas even though this lousy photo of course does not do it justice. But fer cryin' out loud that's why you buy prints to look at in the real world, aina? Now go look up Lori Earley and check out paintings so beautiful it hurts!

Jeff Rowley Limited Edition The Moment Collection of Surfing Photographs Launch

Jeff Rowley Launches Limited Edition "The Moment" Collection of Surfing Photographs

Big Wave Surfer Jeff Rowley has collaborated with surf photographers around the world to launch his collection of Limited Edition surfing photographs.

Jeff Rowley has named the collection of his surfing photographs as ‘The Moment’, based on his most significant surfing moments shaping his life.

Rowley has hand selected each unique photograph taken in some of the most challenging environments, by the best surf photographers in the world including Tim Mckenna and Stuart Gibson.

The first two photographs in Rowley’s ‘The Moment’ collection include surfing Cloudbreak in Fiji during what was dubbed 'swell of the decade' in July 2011, and charging massive Teahupoo in Tahiti, one of the most dangerous and shallow reef breaks in the world.

On his photograph series, Rowley said “each photo represents a moment in time where everything in my life changed, where the impossible became possible – and everyone has a moment like that in their life”.

Even though these prints make eye catching wall art, Rowley believes “these photographs are about the moments that change your life and define who you are”.

“For me, the moment on these waves was like conquering Everest – I believe everyone has their own Everest they conquer in life”.

"Life is not about the number of breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away".

Rowley is is donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the prints to Australian Children's Charity, Cottage by the Sea, who each year provides short-term beachside holidays and respite care for more than 900 children and families in need.

“It means a lot to me to be raising money for Cottage by the Sea, they give children going through a hard time the holiday of their lives – memories they will remember for the rest of their lifetime”, Rowley said.

There are only 100 Limited Edition prints available for each unique photograph in the collection, selling for 0 (AUD) each for a high quality canvas print (approximately 75 cm x 100 cm), come with a story written by Jeff Rowley on his ‘moment’ and includes delivery anywhere in the world.

A small number of prints will also be auctioned during Cottage by the Sea fundraising events throughout the year.

To order a Jeff Rowley Limited Edition Surfing Print, visit the online store at www.jeffrowley.com.

Sky Is The Limit, Part II

Image by rishibando
May 4, 2010 | Day Sixty-Seven

I know, I know, a revisit already?!? But I really wanted to sort of do something really unique with this one, so here it is. I super-imposed the original onto a canvas, and then super-imposed that image onto another canvas, and one more for good measure, and this is the end product. It's drastically different from the original image - the lens flare is gone, the sky is darker (almost black in places) and overall the picture seems more edgy and dark - but I kinda like it.

If you haven't seen the original, check it out.

I might revisit this again in a few months when I get around to it, but until then, check out the view on black, HERE as well as the view on white HERE.

Weeks--The Hour of Prayer, with frame by Lockwood de Forest

Image by Universal Pops
I am always appreciative of views and comments; thank you for taking time to look.

This is a series of 11 images (oil on canvas). Edwin Lord Weeks (1849-1903), an Orientalist painter, was born in Massachusetts, the child of wealthy merchants. The placard at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond states he was a photographer, writer, explorer, collector and illustrator as well. He studied in France under Léon Bonnat. He made trips to Morocco, the Middle East and then India in 1882. Any number of videos featuring his works on India are on YouTube. The paintings depicted are always human with an eye to details. The painting “The Hour of Prayer at Moti Mushid (The Pearl Mosque), Agra” (ca 1888-1889) is large (perhaps 6’ x 3 1/2”) and is filled with amazing details of those gathered for prayer at the mosque. The detailed images show many aspects of this gathering: washing, reading, lounging. Any number of “things” are happening, yet no part detracts from another; all is well-integrated into a comprehensive whole. The architecture is integral to the work. The Moti Mushid, built 1654 in Agra, is an excellent example of Mughal architecture. His original works today can bring a price of more than a million dollars.

The original frame by Lockwood de Forest (1850-1932), another Orientalist, is made of wood with cast and carved ornament and is gilded. The framed painting is the final image in the series.

St. Louis, MO. Well they say there is no place like home and since most of the people I know that might want a photo of their house are out of town I am forced to clean up my own mess and take some photos of my apartment.

www.insidetheviewfinder.com

Strobist info: Daylight creeps in from behind the camera through the horizontal aluminum blinds. I was hoping that there might be some interesting patterns cast on the foreground by those but no go at this time of day.

Shortly after I started, I came up with the idea that I wanted a diffraction star in this shot so I have stopped down to f/22 and opened the shutter for 2 seconds at ISO 400. I started out with tungsten white balance on the camera and gelled the second flash but with a fair amount of ambient in the beginning it was coming out way too blue. I ended up using the "shade" setting for white balance because I wanted more of a warm fuzzy feeling. It would be easy enough to dial things down to daylight balance but this seems more cozy somehow.

There is an overhead bulb in the hallway right along with a table lamp hidden behind the wall between the arched openings. The dining room is on the left with a chandelier that has 6 bulbs. I pulled the shades off of four of them to make that a little brighter. There are also 4 table lamps in the dining room. The kitchen is behind the dining room on the left and is being lighted by a fluorescent ceiling light above the sink. There are also windows in the dining room and kitchen but they don't seem to be adding much to the exposure.

One of my flashes broke so I am down to just two at the moment. One flash is in the fireplace with doubled up orange gels. It is set to 1/4 power. Both flashes were triggered with a Cactus V2 radio. The other flash is in the hallway on the left side sitting on a table and aimed at a mostly white painted canvas so that it bounces some light around that area and hopefully illuminates the framed photographs on the opposite wall.

I pulled out the clamp I had borrowed but I forgot to use it. I was going to put the Nikon flash on its little stand but I couldn't find it right away so I just laid both flashes on their backs instead.

No stands, just my tripod backed against the wall with the legs splayed out so I could get a lower vantage point. I did learn that perfectly arranged furniture has nothing to do with architectural photography. The camera has a slightly different idea about perspective and geometry than the eye so the furniture gets moved around so that it makes sense in the photograph rather than conversational seating groups.

I used the histogram on the camera to tweak the final exposure so I didn't need to do much in post processing except to clone out a couple of pesky dust spots.

It occurred to me after the fact that I could have turned on the light in the hallway on the left. My goal in this shot was to be able to see into as much of the space as possible. Normally I would shoot from one corner but I wanted the fireplace and the piano really takes over the space in the opposite corner so I was force to shoot from the center instead.

I thought that those hurricane lanterns in the fireplace would act as gobos for the flash but it didn't work out that way. The inside of the fireplace (which is no longer functional) is painted white and acts like a giant reflector, providing illumination to the carpet and objects in the middle of the frame. Also I think I would have like to add a diffuser to the table lamp in the center because it is still a little too hot. I did think about the perspective up and down and could have changed it but decided on this because I wanted to include the edge of the carpet. Now that I think about it (and the lack of that extra foot of space) I could have just moved everything in the room forward about 12" and I would have had it made. That piano is pretty heavy though...
