Just Some Cool Shots I Found Online Last Night





does anyone know who this artist is? I love the balanced stuff.


Happy Easter

Whatever that means to ya


Yeah this post is a rerun from a few Easter's ago... It's been resurrected!

Motivational? Posters, HDR, et ceteri.

Sheesh, I haven't written anything here in so long I forgot how to do it. That'a long time. Seems the formatting on the site has changed a bit... we'll see how this looks. 
anyway just posting some semi-random imagery of late.  these first three are NOT my photos - i just added the copy. We were talking about motivational posters a few nights ago and trying to think of what would pass in the halls of the cube-dwellers without much thought. (answer: lots) 




















HDR Photography

Just got hooked up with a free trial offer of Photomatix...here's some first tests. Sadly, while you're still testing it the photomatix watermark shows up. Might hafta bite the bullet and shell out the 99 bucks. 







35 Year High School Reunion ?!

Well it finally came to the big night this past Saturday. Been going to these reunion committee meetings for a year now.  
The night was a raging success. Lots of old friends there - a good time had by all.  

Here's just a few of the hundreds of photos taken that night.


 Kim, Stacey and Vicki getting ready to welcome ex-classmates..


Here's your reunion committee . . .

Group photo attempt. Most of us, anyway.
 


Dancing!  Soul Train Line Style. 


More dancing. kinda.  photos of dancing usually suck, i think.  (Notice me in the background "getting down" as they say.) 

Ken stares down the camera as Ruth barefoots.

Me & Vicki Miller, my old tennis partner!

Myself and Dave seen here behind the mix board, pulling the strings.


Four of the crazier ones in our class.  Kelly, Carrie, Ruth & Janie.


Yours truly trying to keep the dance floor full. 


The Millerizer 360

The Millerizer 360 is complete! Using a Brinks mini timer for a motor we can now shoot timelapse WHILE Panning. Of course we'll be using the 7D's, not the camera shown here. total cost: ~ $5.
A bit more fragile than I had hoped, we may be able to remedy this with a small amount of reinforcement.   




Palm Springs Fine Arts Fair

Palm Springs was a smashing success as they say.
Met a bunch of great folks. Screened Uso Justo to a less than packed house but for those who came, they dug it and also bought DVD's for later laughs. The Q&A with Daniel Stern was excellent. Informative and funny. Afterwards we had a great dinner with some fun locals.
Also sold one of my sculptures at the fair. I LOVE these things and they're starting to catch on. And get better. Or so I say.
Ed sold a couple of his big paintings so me and Tom (the local carpenter we hired) went over and hung it in their home the next day.
Definitely a wealthier crowd than I am used to hanging with....as i said in the q&a I saw a few folks at the opening party whose eyeglasses cost more than I made last year.
Literally true.


Art shows and fairs

Got a couple shows coming up here.
Check this one out. Am showing a film in Palm Springs followed by a Q&A with the actor Daniel Stern. Looking forward to it.
Also been twisting up a bunch of small kinetic pieces and making leaps and bounds etc. here's a couple of pix although you need to see 'em move to get the full on effect.


Book cover art

Was designing a book of my art to be printed and here were some of the covers i was thinking of using.
I went with Plains.
