  My interview with the talented and funny Simon Gladwin AKA Austin Powers. To see a brief history of the fun we shared with his slams go: / Here / Here To see my responses go: / Here / Here Oh the fun we have together he is totally amazing” Enjoy How does being a creative person and pursuing your creativity affect other aspects of your life? My wife tuts when the alarm goes off at 4am and she then phones me at 11am to ask me where I am and if I’m ever coming home (just ask Mr Pettit). My kids call me ‘Daddy Camera Face’ and have taken to putting bags on their heads to avoid having their picture taken. I spend too much time sat at the puter editing. My mind never stops and I love the twitchy feeling you get when you get a new idea out of the blue and just have to try and get it down. I love learning new things and the sharp learning curve I feel I have had to muster here in order to try and stay afloat has been immense! I am a teacher of Design by profession and what I have learned through my meager stab at creativity has helped me to do new things with the kids at school…the girls photography group want me to lead a field trip next year…..I’m looking forward to that….but the thing I like most about pusuing my creativity is that it makes me smile and feel happy. It has also shown me I am capable of things I never knew I was capable of…..Imagine living a lifetime and never knowing you could do something that was so incredibley satisfying it could encompass your whole life…. Tell us about one person or moment that has made your time on redbubble particularly special or meaningful? Seeing Stuart Chapman dance like a girl on the stepping stones at dovedale during the UK RB meet……LOL…sorry Stu…….I do, however, now know what it is like to be out with a bunch of like minded people……That was a wonderful day for me. They were all warm and beautiful human beings……I have made some good frinds here….If Stu wasnt a southern softie and lived in Kent I am sure we would be good buds. As it is I have made an awesome friend in Graeme Pettit. He is a gent and is one of the nicest blokes you could ever meet. We go photting regularly! A nice chap who’s folio doesnt get the attention it deserves! Show & tell us about five works on redbubble that have moved or inspired you? Down Below by Stuart Chapman. Never have I encountered such a humble human being. You could pick any image from Stuarts folio and never tire of looking at it. His work is fantastic yet the only person who wouldnt think it is Stuart! He has a natural understanding of composition and light coupled with colour contrast and texture that is just fabulous! Standing in my Shadow by Deb Parkin. Another wonderful and warm human being. Her camera is stuck in B&W and she is well and truly in tune with her inner Goth. Her images are outstanding in terms of tone,texture, light, composition,processing…the whole caboodle…her work is outstanding. This piece has it all in buckets. The light is just perfect. The depth to the image is wonderful. The child look so small and vulnerable. I just love it Another Night Experiment by Brent Pearson. This guys work is just amazing and among some of the most inspirational work I have come across. It has inspired me to try sooo many new things! This has so much energy and movement it’s unreal. Technical excellence and composition is immense. awesome stuff! Shipwrecked by Mel Brackstone. I just feel so woefully inadequate when I look at Mels work that I am lost for words. Everything about her work is breathtaking. She can turn her hand to anything! Into the Void by Naomi Frost. A natural photographer with a superb eye for composition. Her work has depth and draws you in. She can turn her hand to anything and what she produces just oozes quality from every pixel! Where do you feel your creativity comes from what are some things that motivate you? A little bit of me that was unlocked by a new camera last year and the discovery of RB. Things that motivate me…seeing new ideas work…..looking at inspirational work by inspirational people…..being a good human being! Name 3 artists that totally inspire you and have a great respect for? Salvador Dali —- Bonkers….would have loved to have been inside his head just for a short while…but any longer than 10 minutes would probably frazzle me! Ansel Adams……do I have to say anything? Andy Warhol…… Did his own thing…..had his finger in many pies….did things the common man could relate too…was inventive and original….amazing guy!

• Equipment
  by Nikki Trexel

  i’m sorry for writing so many journals lately…i don’t like to hog your activity monitors but i enjoy feedback, and it’s great to share …

  i’m sorry for writing so many journals lately…i don’t like to hog your activity monitors but i enjoy feedback, and it’s great to share photography-related stuff with someone who doesn’t look at me like i’m speaking another language when i talk about camera equipment. :) oh, first of all, i have a picture up for a little contest: would you terribly mind going and voting for it? the website seems to be mostly funny shots of dogs and kids, so i wondered if my nuns-buying-lingerie would have a chance. they put it up as the first one though. i get like $50 if i win. :) / See the voting list here – my image is called ‘Translation Not Necessary’ anyways, i am just really excited about a couple of new things i have gotten in the last month or so. i was given for my birthday: a Hoya R72 (near-)infrared filter, a Hoya .4 ND filter (or whatever is the mid-strength version), and today as we were casually shopping at Circuit City, my wonderful boyfriend bought me the circular polarizing filter i’d spent the day looking at. we just happened to see it as i took my customary stroll through the camera-accesories isle, and i am almost giddy with excitement to put all of these to good use. not all at once of course, but i will be doing a lot of traveling this summer and hopefully seeing a lot of amazing landscapes, both mountains and seasides. i am incredibly excited about all the opportunities available in my own little midwestern town as well, and have been very encouraged and inspired by a lot of art i’ve seen here. the wonderful photographer Simon Gladwin has given me some excellent tips and direction in the area of my IR work. (so far i have not come up with anything Bubbleworthy – it’s been really windy here and longer exposures have NOT been doing well.) if anyone has any tips they would like to share regarding usage of any of these three filters, feel free to post them here! otherwise, i appreciate your readership – and your taking the time to check out Simon’s work if you haven’t already.
