  • Aaaaah! Finally standing after hitting snooze a dozen times… only cold water to the face is going to wake you up enough to be able to safely walk down the stairs to the kitchen….that is right Mr.Stickman….it is time to rise and shine!! This was an experiment with light painting during the day. I always paint at night and I had been trying very hard to think of a way to do it during the day. Sure I could stack a bunch of ND filters but they are not cheap….This was taken around noon. It was fairly dark and rainy outside which helped a lot. Unfortunately there is some nasty ghosting of me in this image…..

  • This was done at an art gallery called Art Garden in Okayama, Japan. An installation that was technically never installed. Performance art that was witnessed by no one so was it even performed? One could argue that neither ever took place. Good thing I was able to capture the evidence of its non-existence with my camera…. I had an opportunity to use the gallery space for some photos. Given the setting I wanted to create something that looked like a physical installation. This “structure” was drawn by me and my cohort and recorded by my camera. It is completely made of light and nothing else. It was gone the instant it was created. This image is straight from the camera. No photoshop was used nor any post editing of any kind was done. It was created using the light painting method. Numerous hand held flashes were strategically fired around the room to illuminate the space. A picture of the space during the day is visible here Camera: Canon EOS 40D / Exposure: 123 / Aperture: f/7.1 / Focal Length: 17 mm / ISO Speed: 100 This has to be one of my favorites art projects I have ever done… I had an A4 size printed of this and it looks incredible.

Done at an art gallery in Okayama, Japan. None of the photography has been altered in any way but I must admit to removing a black scuff mark from the floor in the foreground with PS.

  • Done at Art Garden art gallery in Okayama, Japan. This image was created specifically for the gallery.
