Digging through the archives...

So to calm myself down a bit I decided to dig through my backup archives on my hard drives... I always have a lot of stuff that I shoot that never gets published albeit flickr or facebook etc.. so I decided to do a bit of digging and here's what I found.... I must be in a texture/pattern mood because those are the ones I pulled to blog about.. and upload to flickr.. ;)

Flickr Bingo-Week 1

here is my photo for the first call for flickr bingo.. I18... the assignment for I18 was to create a mock book cover...



flickr link--> here

I've never actually read this book.. but it was a fun one to shoot/design... I just shot next to a window in my apartment since it was still daylight when I photographed it.. otherwise I probably would have used my light box.

Diffused light= <3

Kimberly Witham

When I first read about Kimberly Witham in Color Magazine I thought her work was very sad and I couldn't really understand why she chose to photograph dead animals... the work was beautiful as far execution but I just couldn't get past the dead animal part.. When I visited her website I was hooked. I finally understood what she was going for after I read her artist statement.. and I have loved her work ever since. I would like to introduce you to her work... she is definitely an inspiration.

I first saw this series of her work called Transcendence. Here are a few photos from that series...







HERE is her statement for this series...

The next series I came across is called Domestic Arrangements... here is a sampling of that series...







HERE is her statement for this series...

Check out more of her work at her website here...I hope you like her work as much as I do..

I think this describes us all...
