Lost V found at last!

Wow, it took a lot of perseverance to find this lost "V" (sheep). Its not that I couldn't have gone out and found another "V", its just that I am trying to learn from the experience of confronting the monster cyber-muncher. I tracked him to his lair, and actually, he kindly returned my "V" to me, impressed that I would have traversed such treacherous grounds in this unrelenting pursuit!

Lots to ponder

The work of Susan Meiseles gave me a lot to ponder. She has stayed for long periods of time (years), with specific peoples, and made records that have given back a whole lot to the communities. She did a project with the Kurds, that looks like an amazing labor of love. It is at : akakurdistan.com A quote of hers: "We take pictures and we don't bring them back" I know that the work I want to do is about being a visual voice for the people with whom I work; whether it is the disenfranchised, or cultures around the world, or the elderly, or single moms.... I know of the power of pictures, and for that reason, I am also leaning towards documentary film making...

Ami Vitale

Ami Vitale has the most sophisticated photography website I have found so far. You can click on a photo, and up comes a whole lot of information regarding it in an overlay. I was quite impressed. She has taken pictures all over the world...much of it political, and of war. As I explore rhe work of other photographers, I come closer to knowing what it is I want to communicate. I know it will be about the enduring beauty of the human soul, and the greatness of the human spirit. Ami's website can be found at: amivitale.com

ORGANIC meets HOTDOG

GOSH...I wanted this to be bigger...and I wanted to Do the fancy working in different layers that I've watched Dennis and Miles do...can't fine it. I played with the hues a bit, but when I get some help, I hope to make the organic sign pop out, and everything else to be wonky...ideas to execution:I have a ways to go!
