I Want It Now

Chinese artist Yang Guang has had his images exhibited in many permanent collections of several contemporary art museums.

This photographer prints his computer-generated images on special aluminum foil. Excuse me, why didn’t I think of that? If you hang it up on the wall with lights placed so it hits the sheen, you will get a beautiful iridescent green glow. Play up the contrast with a neutral wall. Entryways or living rooms work best. Bedrooms might be too mellow for this print as it captures a lot of light.

Keep an eye on this photographer / artist. As Crate and Barrel often gets the glory of doing, is introducing new artists into the popular realm. Before many furniture designers and interior artists make it big, they often get exclusive contracts with Crate and Barrel. Jump on this artist before those prices go up.

Changes…

Excuse me Sir, but what the hell is this layer? 

Gone are the days of loading an infrared film canister inside a dark bag. Gone are the days of hand rolling 35 mm film and relishing in the process of chemical paradise. Swirling a picture through a development bath, using the creative eye tweak a corner, dodge a shadow and burn an overexposed spot. Saving up for an enlarger has given way to saving up for CS3.

 

The bittersweet feeling of nostalgia hits me as I open the package from B&H containing my Canon EOS 40D. Part excitement and part fear, I open the book on CS3.

 

Ladies and gentlemen, I am the last digital convert to walk the artist path.

 

I say goodbye to my EOS3 as I pack it up for storage and let out a sigh as I fall pray for the joys of Photoshop. I have now joined the CS3 revolution. I just might be doomed.
