Artist of the Month

This is dedicated to non-photography artists. I believe you need to research the art of all disciplines to make yourself a better artist.

First artist is from the interactive web design/ animation world...

©hoogerbrugge.com

Hoogerugge is a digital Dutch artist who resides in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Hoogerugge's animations* are weird, dark, disturbing and most of all - addictive and fun! Go to his website to see more animations, installations and video of his work .

*the hyperlink is a animated series call NAILS (2002-2006) each part has a interactive role with your cursor. Either clicking or moving it around hotspots. I recommend you to explore. Then, if you want, check out the Hotel series after.

I went to a pool party with some talented musicians - Caitlin Rose and Johnny to name a few.

Remember this flower? It was a little bud for my photo of the day 4/26/9. Now it has blossomed, not fully I think. I wish I had the same late afternoon sun to light today, but the clouds and recent rain gave the flower more texture (not to mention it has completely transformed).

I am not sure what kind of flower this is, if you know, answer or comment. I've been exploring into starting a Flickr account. I'll post more flowers in the backyard photos. Plus more photos from other events in my life.

Also comment if you have questions on how these photos were taken or want tips or advice to take similar photographs. I would be happy to oblige.

Carnival photographs, like this one (spinning lights at night), are the most generic photos you can take, but the most fun to shoot and make great eye candy. I shot this freehand, I left my tripod in another car.

Photographer of the Month - May: Eolo Perfido

A new series I am starting with this blog. Nabil, I guess, was the first photographer of this series.

Elolo was the first photographer I bookmarked years ago. Since then, his career and work has blossomed. He worked for Gatorade, GQ and NY Times to name a few. He is originally from France but now resides in Italy. Enjoy.

I discovered this carnival not too far from my house the other night, just as they were closing for the night. I am most definitely going to visit this carnival again next week.
