First…the Team and I would like to take this time to congratulate Mystic Woman, Barbara of Angelica's on her first book! We are all so proud of you Barbara and believe me when I tell you I so understand what a huge accomplishment this is. CONGRATULATIONS !!!!
Your photographer is continuing to work extremely hard and am continuing my education in the arts.
As it turns out your photog is being honored as a painter. Who knew?!
See below - toot, toot (my own horn) !!!
Once the book(s) are complete and published, I will be incorporating these painting skills into my photography. This is a very old technique that was done years ago by master photographers. The technique is yet another one of those dying (or dead in this case) art forms. However, I am here to tell you I WILL be bringing it back when I ultimately open my own photography/art studio. It shall be quite costly to purchase, but this is one of those heirlooms that your entire family would fight over…I know mine did!
These types of portraits are printed and painted on canvas. I am fortunate enough to have inherited one from my Mother. A forty year old portrait that truly looks like an oil painting. When I brought it to school the professors had a fit over it…"WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?" I sheepishly responded by telling them, it was me when I danced in Swan Lake.
I hope to bring it to the photography studio again and shoot it digitally, so I can share it with all of you!
We have two shoots remaining. When those are done the entire project shooting schedule will be completed!!! Now…that certainly does not mean the project is complete, what it means is that all SHOOTING is done. This summer the Project Manager and I will be editing, compilation, cover design, reviewing essays, design and implementation of another PR campaign, and the list goes on and on. HOWEVER, we are certainly closing in on a finished project! AND WHAT A LONG STRANGE TRIP IT HAS BEEN !!! :}
Stay warm New Englanders and everyone else on the east coast!
