--This is one of the first pictures I took from Sketch to reality.
I figured I would get this blog started off with a great comment from a great photographer and speaker. I got to hear Scott Bourne (blog|Twitter) speak last year in SLC and it had a wonderful effect on my photography.
He posted a wonderful blog post today which I’m going to steal a paragraph from.
“For me, all that matters now, all that has ever mattered, all that will ever matter going forward is the picture. What someone thinks of it, how they interpret it, whether or not they think it’s real, fake, art or science – none of that is in my control. I can’t control what anyone else thinks, nor do I want to or would I try. My images are simply representative of what I personally happen to think of a given moment in time. “ --Scott Bourne Photofocus.com
AMEN! That’s all I really want to say. Right now as a photographer I take pictures because I want to make a beautiful image or I want to remember a moment. I do it because I love it and I am trying to “Make” that photo that I have in my head.
Now I’m off to go sketch a picture that I have stuck in my head. Thanks Scott. :)
Love the photo Pat. The horizontal crease adds an interesting reflective effect not apparent upon initial look. Also love the puzzle pieces. Did you paint them?
ReplyDeletePeter,
ReplyDeleteNo the puzzle pieces are just regular pieces from a dark puzzle. I did Add contrast with the B&W version. If you click on the picture you can see the color version on my FlickR stream and you can see they have color to them but I purposefully set these darker. :)
