Showcasing books by Fay270

I am Fay! Photographer, artist, colorist, published writer, fiber artist; knitter, weaver, sewer.
I have been involved with art and photography for many years. A few years ago I discovered the miracle of digital photography.
I began incorporating digital enhancements in my work, and since then I have been able to obtain some very creative and
interesting effects.
It is a never-ending journey of the heart and mind.
I especially like this quotation, which I feel expresses my deepest feelings regarding photography and art ~ “Photography,
as we all know, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world.” Arnold Newman.

A Kaleidoscope World~ The Kaleidoscope ~

“An instrument invented by Sir David Brewster, which contains loose fragments of colored glass, etc., and reflecting surfaces so arranged that changes of position exhibit its contents in an endless variety of beautiful colors and symmetrical forms. It has been much employed in the art of design.”
These designs were created using my original painted images, digitally transformed into these beautifully complex and provocative kaleidoscopic patterns. The images are also used as designs for ceramic tiles and plaques.
This collection represents one of several Journals that I have compiled to highlight my experiments, thoughts, and sentiments regarding color, shape, and form.

Journal 2

The images are a revolving collection of favorite images taken from present time to the past couple of years that suited the mood
that I wanted to convey for this type of project. I see this journal as the kind that could be used for gardening, musings, trip log,
or just general daily notes and sketches.

Images In Orton

The Orton Effect comes from a technique first used by Michael Orton in which one “normal” photograph or slide was sandwiched with another out of focus and overexposed photograph or slide. The dreamlike quality of the resulting imagery has become very popular. Michael Orton outlined the basics of this creative process in his book, “Photographing Creative Landscapes”. In today’s digital world, the process of creating Orton Effect images has become even simpler using digital darkroom software. In addition to creative uses, the Orton Technique is also very useful in “saving” images that wound up accidentally out of focus.
