This reminds me of a painting I did called shopping in the city. The hustle and bustle of city life.

I can see what you mean. We’re both obviously abstract realists at heart, yes? Love what you’re doing too!

4 little words just made my day! Thank you for that!

Very surreal. How do you create this affect? Is it at camera or computer or both?
Mark Ross replied
Hi Tony. It’s a straight handheld time exposure plus lots of Photoshop tools in combination. And just to make matters more complicated still… each time I came back to look at the “finished” image, I felt I could do it better and reworked it once again. I can’t remember how many times that happened. That’s why I save every move made, every single thing I did and not only to be able to redo it but so I could build on it next time ‘round. The kind of stuff I do is like jazz improvisation in that you first state the theme and then expand on it as freely as you want to. Each time you play that piece, that’s what you do. It’s tremendously invigorating.

Oh, Mark, I know what you’r talking about (with Tony)... I do the same with my newest creations – stop and save many times, then do other manipulations sometimes. And this is another one from that great-idea-greatly-done series of the museum…
Mark Ross replied
Hi Gili. I think we’re now friends and I’m very happy to know you. There, I said it! Now… what I meant when talking to Tony about saving every move was as an afterwards action. I mean I notate each tool and how it was applied, then codify it and include it in the file name I give every finished piece. This way, in the future I can look at the file name and know exactly which tools I made use of and how they were applied. Atsa whata I adoa! Thanks again for all your great support Gili. You know how much that means to us little artsy fartsy people!
