So, I have a macro setting on my very simple olympus digital camera. it is really nothing super special.....i put it on the setting for taking "very close up" shots and no flash and anti hand shake. once i take the pics, i upload them from my camera to my computer using the very user friendly picasa. you have probably gotten this by now. you can manipulate the picturesin all different types of very cool ways using picasa. the "im feeling lucky" button is great- use it.

here is another intimate poprtrait series- my daughter eva

Hi all! WOW I am so inspired by all of the positive comments and feedback I've gotten from you all already this week!! I apologize for the weak portraits of my significant other,Andre- bad light, at night and of course no flash!! However, I would like to redeem myself with these pics from the inside of the same purple tulip you all liked so much. I really appreciate the praise for the picture! The flowers exist in my next door neighbor's yard and I am blessed with their beauty every spring and summer!! LOL- I love flowers. The inside is the coolest. I think this class is goimng to be a great one due to all the interesting and positive personalities! Good luck everyone and enjoy.

this pictures shows sadness and guilt. it reminds me of the movie "Rambo". After his fight was fought. He looks drained and tired but at the same time knows that he has accomplished his mission.

I love the softness and calmness of this pieces. The colors and very soothing and so is the linesthey form.

This is pretty cool. I like the wavy lines and the way the vase just sits there tilted barely.The colors are great.

This is another great piece. It shows strength in the way the mountain stands tall and at attention. The lines are very neat, precise and accurate.

This is a very impressive piece of work. I see a submarine being emerged from the choas and mystery of the ocean. It shows people trapped by the current and ignorance of the sea.

I liked this image it signifies confusion with the different colors. It shows a nude woman with her left hand in the air and slightly looking up. The colors seems like a collagate of confusion.

This was fun and very addicting and I could have done it for hours. I had a hard time deciding which one to post as I really liked them all.

GRAPA - Week 7

MOCA wk 7

I believe this is #7, i could be wrong BUT I chose the artist Neko Linda, who is a multi media and didgital artist living in Alabama. She does not have a site unfortunately but she does some pretty interesting stuff through her "scanographic montage" style. The two posted remind me of some type of mystical imagined garden photos at night, its very lush in a way, which is what drew me in. The bottom is my favorite of the two, it puts me in the mind of an ancient tree on perfectly still water, its beautiful. Enjoy.....

For my grandmother

I made this for my grandmother, who is the one making a fist in the Brian Westbrook jersey, and who roots with us every Sunday for the Philadelphia Eagles. The man on the right is Terrell Owens, who used to play for the Eagles and made a terrible mess of the team with his drama before being let go from the team. So I made this little image for her and put it in a frame and gave it to her this weekend. I told her I wanted to put it on the blog, but didn't do it without her permission. She said "Go for it!". So here it is. I know it isn't part of any assignment, but class is almost over and we all shared a lot of things, so I felt I would share something that means a lot to my grandmother and was made possible through Jerry's teachings and the things he opened our minds up to. So thank you all for the wonderful comments and sharing all of your beautiful images with us, and most of all thanks to Jerry. It's been a blast and I hope to have you for another course in the near future.

Grappa!!!

Grappa is awesome! The top left image is the Superman symbol, which just jumped out at me when I first tried the program. The one to the right is a simple delay then move image. The bottom left is an M for my last name and I thought would look cool in like a vibrant energy pattern way. Last is the sailboat on the ocean with the wind blowing it's sails at night. Even though there is a steering wheel there is no captain, as I didn't want to ruin the image trying to draw a detailed person.
