Drawing

Drawing, painting, and photography.
Without one or the other my visual art would have no depth.

True story.

I learned how to expose a frame in a camera.
I learned how to expose a print in the dark room.

Black and white is easy for me.

Contrast.

Contrast and the zone system helped me learn how to draw conceptually.
To take negative space and draw in a positive space.
To take a positive space and draw in a negative space.

To take a brush and float and be free.

As free as a fleeting moment in the camera.
As you look through the lens.

Through your looking glass.

What do you see?

A Passion for the Arts

Dee — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 23:15:19 +0000

I had the opportunity to photograph orchestra rehearsal again at A&I in Hollywood.

These are my favorite portraits that I took of Shelly Ren,
a 25 year old with a Masters from Julliard.

Beautiful. I love her passion and her intensity when she plays.

I had the opportunity to photograph orchestra rehearsal bringing me the best of both worlds into my soul. More to come… as the musical pieces started fitting together so did my perspective on my own art.

Meet Pixel. She’s my new bunny friend. Isn’t she sweet?

Pixel is playing with my shoelaces.

Night Blooming Cereus

She is also known as Queen of the Night for that is only when she blooms. She opens up her petals to dark sky capturing the brilliant stare of the Moon and the Stars. Before the Sun rises, her petals fall into morning air.
