Street art in Florence
I found myself on a quest while in Florence, Italy - a quest to capture as much of the work by street artist "Blub" as I could find. I discovered 16 works by the artist, so here they are. They all feature either a famous work of art or a famous person (real or imagined), each fitted with a swimming mask. It's a fun diversion from all that other art in the city!
How Aurora HDR Pro got me interested in textures
Today I share a quick how-to on applying a texture to a photo in Aurora HDR Pro. It's super easy and quick and a great way to take an other discarded shot and turn it into a work of art. I show you several examples and there's a YouTube video, too!
Quotas, epiphanies, and advice from Dad
Today's post is an essay about goal-setting and getting caught up in the goals for the sake of achieving them. I lost my creative direction earlier this year, but I have found it again and am back on track. Oh, and I had an epiphany this summer that set it all in motion. Read on and let me know your thoughts!
Revealing the artist within
I love the Impressionists, and enjoy their work immensely. When Topaz Labs created Impression - a software product that helps you convert your photos to digital paintings in a very realistic way - I was very intrigued. Well I have used it for months now, and have found that it is having a profound impact on my photography. Today's post is all about that, and of course there are a BUNCH of my digital paintings included for your viewing pleasure. Hop on in!
First impressions of Topaz Impression
Today I share some shots I created in the new Topaz Impression - it's a new and exciting (and fun!) way to turn your photos into digital art! I have spent a lot of time with it over the last few days, and have really enjoyed it! Take a peek inside and enjoy, and feel free to let me know your thoughts! And note there is a special offer from Topaz Labs on this product until Sept 30, which is tomorrow!
Painting Montmartre
Montmartre is a beautiful part of Paris, which is itself a very beautiful city. Today's photo tour of Montmartre is done in honor of the great painters who once roamed the streets here. I took a collection of photos and converted them to digital paintings!
