Water Seer II

Introspective feel to this one. Very nice.

Also started printing out some of these dark ones. Sure enough, some work as large as 11x14, *especially* Black Mermaid. The print looks like it was stipple painted. My sister says it looks like a Renoir. More reference to my photography having more in common with old Master painting or the Impressionists. Still not sure how I feel about the comparison, but I think I dig it.

The other ones that don't work so much I'm going to scale down to 8x10 and see if they work, otherwise, I'm trashing them. Oh well. To have any success with this experiment is a win.

In things that got swamped yesterday, yesterday was my fifth anniversary with my wonderful husband. It was a very low key evening, mostly sitting with the lethargic Mouse.

Speaking of the Mouse, the dentistry went swimmingly well, she came through with flying colors and all is peachy. From now on, constant vigilance with her teeth, but now we know that she has this genetic predisposition, we can keep her mouth in good health.

Tomorrow, the husband and I are getting the day to ourselves at the house to watch ultra violent movies, while the Mouse goes out, along with the sister.

It's going to either be 300 or Kingdom of Heaven uncut.

Dude.

Movie! Violence! Popcorn! Makes me wish I had a cherry icee machine at home.

I know. I'm a cheap date. What can I say?

I'm not sure you're MEANT to think anything of the comparison. The old masters were fascinated by light. Some of us photographers create work in which light is a major silent partner. Your work shows an appreciation of the importance of light, so you and the old masters share that appreciation, ergo your work may be compared by some to the old masters.

I, for one, adore the Flemish painters the most. The way that Vermeer uses light in his oils and the way Rembrandt uses the LACK of an etched line to represent light in his etching are eye-candy to me. And yes, your use of light is equally enthralling. Thanks.

Thank you so much!

Y'know, this comment made things click in my brain. Long before I went nuts with my camera, I was a lighting designer for theater. My brain's just hard-wired now to think in terms of light and not even remotely conscious.

Your comment really made my day. :)
