I thought my cold was over last weekend, but on Monday it came back and by this morning was bad enough to send me to the doctor for some antibiotics. Feeling much better now, though not all the way better yet. I still have a lot of photos to process from the Saturday workshop and have another coming up next Saturday; so I'll be busy photographically for the next few weeks. Also busy at work as well. http://forgingahead.my-expressions.com/archives/2769_1498614844/342640 forgingahead 2010-02-01T21:25:17Z 2010-02-01T21:25:17Z <a href="http://forgingahead.my-expressions.com/archives/2769_1498614844/342640" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/2700/pblog/2749/1265077518.jpg"/></a><br> Obviously shot intentional way out of focus against the modeling light in the strobe. Just an experimental shot. http://forgingahead.my-expressions.com/archives/2769_1498614844/342578 forgingahead 2010-01-31T10:16:21Z 2010-01-31T10:16:21Z <a href="http://forgingahead.my-expressions.com/archives/2769_1498614844/342578" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/2700/pblog/2749/1264950981.jpg"/></a><br> Yesterday's workshop was indeed quite fun. I shout close to 800 shots working with two different models and a makeup artist. We were concentrating on face shots and details. We had lots of props to work with so some of the shots were quite fun. I had a blast with this model and a bunch of grapes. http://forgingahead.my-expressions.com/archives/2769_1498614844/342367 forgingahead 2010-01-26T22:21:13Z 2010-01-26T22:21:13Z <a href="http://forgingahead.my-expressions.com/archives/2769_1498614844/342367" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/2700/pblog/2749/1264476074.jpg"/></a><br> Expressions users have read the news. We will no longer get space upgrades here. Still seems no way to easily transport our blogs from here. Oh well. I still have a good bit of space left in my current allocation and I believe Lor and Gordon will keep the servers up for a the foreseeable future. It would be nice to have the entire blog in digital form as a backup. But my knowledge of how all that works is pretty much summed up in the first sentence of this paragraph. I am doing a workshop on Saturday that is very exciting for me. You will definitely being seeing work from that session next week. http://forgingahead.my-expressions.com/archives/2769_1498614844/341943 forgingahead 2010-01-15T08:24:14Z 2010-01-15T08:24:14Z <a href="http://forgingahead.my-expressions.com/archives/2769_1498614844/341943" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/2700/pblog/2749/1263561855.jpg"/></a><br> From the Winter Festival in Albany last month. It was so cold that this water-based paint was freezing as the kids used it to paint a big mural. http://forgingahead.my-expressions.com/archives/2769_1498614844/341836 forgingahead 2010-01-13T21:22:40Z 2010-01-13T21:22:40Z <a href="http://forgingahead.my-expressions.com/archives/2769_1498614844/341836" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/2700/pblog/2749/1263384303.jpg"/></a><br> I have hinted at this project I want to work on. It is still developing and has not really gotten any traction yet. Lots of excuses for why, no good reasons. Anyway, here is a start. I'll let the project tell its own story as it unfolds. Would love opinions. http://forgingahead.my-expressions.com/archives/2769_1498614844/341636 forgingahead 2010-01-08T19:16:09Z 2010-01-08T19:16:09Z <a href="http://forgingahead.my-expressions.com/archives/2769_1498614844/341636" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/2700/pblog/2749/1262909769.jpg"/></a><br> http://forgingahead.my-expressions.com/archives/2769_1498614844/341556 forgingahead 2010-01-06T20:49:55Z 2010-01-06T20:49:55Z <a href="http://forgingahead.my-expressions.com/archives/2769_1498614844/341556" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/2700/pblog/2749/1262742596.jpg"/></a><br> The Saturday I was in NYC, it rained a lot. But on Sunday morning the sun was out and temps soared to the 50s. I went out in the early morning and observed quite a few 'dead umbrellas.' But this one really grabbed my attention. An orange umbrella. The orange paint spots. How could I resist? http://forgingahead.my-expressions.com/archives/2769_1498614844/341355 forgingahead 2010-01-01T10:00:23Z 2010-01-01T10:00:23Z <a href="http://forgingahead.my-expressions.com/archives/2769_1498614844/341355" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/2700/pblog/2749/1262358023.jpg"/></a><br> Happy Twenty Ten! Now that rolls out nicely doesn't it? 20-10. Twenty-ten. Yes, this will be a better year. Resolving to somehow get myself busy with this blog again. May take some time to realign my life around new ideas and challenges., but I will get back to regular posting as soon as possible.
