The Absentee I guess that pretty much describes my state of being lately ….I apologize to each of you…..many have asked what’s going on??? Absolutely nothing……as you may or may not know, I retired from my full time position of Accountant as of 12/31/08…since then I have pretty much been occupied with setting up my photography business and greeting card store, as well as some local marketing……..it is very time consuming, but if I don’t spend this time taking care of these things, then I will truly be a starving photographer/artist…… I hope all of you will understand and know that it is nothing to do with you, but rather time being directed in a different direction…..I do miss the time I was spending here, but I do need to have an income other than a little bit of social security….. When I decided to take an early retirement, I found out that Uncle Sam takes an average of your last 30 years of work history to figure your Social Security income…..well since I stayed home for 15 of those years raising our three boys, my income is now cut in half…that hardly seems fair when you see us supporting so many people from other countries that come over our borders with no jobs and no intentions of working or supporting their families ….. Nonetheless, I chose an early retirement in order to pursue my photography fulltime and that is what I have been doing………thank you all for your gracious comments, favoriting and support of my work, but most of all thank you for the incredible friends I have made here . I am going to be here, but less visible, and I will do my best to drop you all a note now and again….my watchlist is out of control, and I know that I have missed so much….please don’t take it personally if I have not commented on your work lately…. Take care and keep up the awesome, gorgeous and so creative work that I have grown to love…..I will be thinking of you all even when I am not actively present…..You have all made such an incredible impact on me, and I am a better person for it…. Thank You and God Bless each and every one of you ! Joyce Dickens

So what do you photograph? We all photograph the same thing, over and over….Light! Or shall I say how light falls on objects. How it layers, disperses, warps itself, pierces, covers, caresses and interacts. THIS is what we photograph, and this is what can make or break a photo. Do this…photograph the same ‘thing’ or scene at one hour intervals from the same location and viewpoint. Look at the difference in how the light makes you feel about the photos. Now, go play with the light, work it, follow it and see how it will change what you see day to day.

Coming in the top 10 of the Photographers Self Portrait Challenge was really wonderful. There were lots of fantastic images entered and a real buzz for To touch the light to be included and featured.

What do they have in common? All are brilliant photographers. Three Aussies (and a Californian) encouraged this Alaskan’s early photographic efforts. We’re just about at opposite poles, yet their kind comments this past year at photoblog.com buoyed my initial attempts and continue to do so. Harry Oldmeadow and Richard Stanley advised me. They still help me to see in new ways, and both excel at landscape photography. Richard pushed my learning curve a bit by suggesting that I use manual exposure. Both had used the Nikon D70 and offered advice about exposure, as well. I love their work. I feel energized when I see each new photo. And Cherax increased my interest in indoor lighting with his playful exercises and explanations at the other website. His sense of humour also has inspired me to try new angles and lighting techniques. Patty Boyte also excels as a landscape photographer and has toured Australia with Harry and Richard, and Nepal. Her passion for photography transcends the ordinary, and her portraits from Nepal are remarkable. I’m grateful to these three Aussies and a Californian. I think you owe it to yourself to check out their work here at RB.

today your group gave me the honor of being a featured artist. i have to say i choked up at the sight. to take my works from chappel photo and from earhart chappel. showed me so much, as an artist and a woman. / penelope my babe was the first in the feature. my love my reason.to see her on the grass with her fairy wings in delight..took me away.she is my butterfly and i have said for so long she should be free to fly.that pic at the start held such meaning for me. / i do know i submitted the photos, and my chappel photo pics were entered as i could not figure out, the cap on my earhart chappel colab site..i am not good on the computer! / but seeing all the photos grouped today. i picked each one for a reason.but somewhere along the line.instead of showing how i developed as a photographer on rb form the past (soon it will be a year). it showed me more of me looking in at my life over the last year. / from the hotel room when i realized my marriage was falling apart / to nyc rocky start, where the image of musical instruments caught my eye, and when the pic was uploaded there in frame was the reflection of the city..not my plan,just a pic, i took while shopping for a friend. / to costa ricas beauty a place i have always found inner peace and clarity. / to cross to bear where i left alone for a weekend drive in search of finding peace, and found it amongst the graves.(i admit not the most happy sight) but something i obsessed over for my lost weekend. / to angle always at play my p my love my baby blue my everything / these photos show the breakdown of 2 years in my life. each haveing a meaning to me far beyond what is seen. yet i picked them randomly. / the pics i picked form earhart chappel / i can clearly state why for each for my work in hair, make up ,wardrobe ,lighting, editing and photography / 2 are works for a breast cancer series i am working on, and they seemed to fit, as my point for the series is about how it touches all women in one way or another,age race class …we are all women, we all have a fear , a friend, a relative, someone that we know at some point in our lives that it effects. hence the jeans as they are something most of us have and feel comfort in at least one pair.(and i wanted to show strength in women feeling comfortable in their body’s) / screaming snake was a piece with a wonderfully talented model who’s emotions scream in the photos..with screaming snake and in primal scream. / yakusa reclined was for my lighting for the shot , as i was so happy the way it came out. / up in smoke (the series)the use of light effects to shape a mood. and changing model co to be a vintage interview style of shots *(she is wearing a wig in this to turn her into a brunette, i did the same in primal scream a pink wig in that series) / to the photo of slivering snake, where mood and lighting and make up created a wonderful effect on her back / i did hair make up wardrobe for all of them..but i even see here. / from “the hotel room” to the last photos in the feature “slivering back”,to “screaming snake” to “primal scream”, there is a vast difference, the mood of my photos. / looking at them quickly it might look to you i have become “bitter” as clearly seen on the photos without the use of word. / but if you take them a different way. you can see the transition / growth in my works, my attention to detail and doing hair, make up , wardrobe and lights . fav lighting would have to be the up in smoke series i did with model co. fav costume design mother earth and pride series as i starting designing clothing again fav wardrobe would be a tie for my pin up pieces with model co,and the yakusa;s series with kb fav hair. ohh again so hard to choose “fit and feel” + “isis” with extensions, and my period hair designs and punk looks with multi hair pieces at once.hair is soo fun! fav make up! of course the body of the snake/dragon on kb .on her front wrapping around her to the back and then to her shoulder.it took alot of time but was so worth it for me and i think her too! fav series! does no comment i plead the fifth world wide count?i guess not..so to answer and to tell the truth…i have seen what i have done and how i have expanded and grown , but i do not think at this point. that i have a fav series. as i have seen my mistakes, and i sill need to work on them. so i guess i can say with out a doubt i am still in the wip (work in progress) phase… and i have no fav, because of ME, i need to grow and learn more.to be able to create a whole series, with out mistakes. / “up in smoke” if you forced me to say one series. as i feel i excelled at the lighting, hair, make up. but my screw up i feel was wardrobe, my choice for it. and i think with a different outfit would have really punched the mood up even more. fav artist on rb fallen rose media for her fashion ,paul v for his creativity( as he constantly keeps you guessing what will be next) and skill, l koren’s works her style and captures of era’s long past, drink me alice for her support and kind words,and in the way of her being so positive during/handling change, and the group vintage and gorgeous, who’s members constantly inspire me, and of course to “the woman photographer” (as well as the sisterhood).groups that are for women photographers, for their lovely and constant support. and to jo o’brian a model and photographer who amazes me infront of the camera and behind she she puts in 110% every time in both.i am trying to cut down here.so i will end on a note such as this red bubble and its community of artists, as signing in is like a breath of fresh air, allowing me to be positive and to feel good. you all have pulled my esteem up so far, and so high from where it was to where it is today and i thank you, all of you on rb for that, you have been as an outlet of sorts for me through my art.., rb is place in this world i feel free.thank you. / sincerely / tara chappel / www.redbubble.com/people/earhertchappel / www.redbubble.com/people/chappelphoto / i am a wip (work in progress) for now.but not for long! / with all of your support, i believe in myself, and my talent now thanks to all of you wonderful red bubbler’s!

Chasingsooz commented that my Opera House image could be imagined in a high end glossy magazine… that hasn’t happened… but the image has been selected to be published in the highly acclaimed Photography Anthology. As such… I have been selected as a finalist to win the $6500 prize money up for grabs… with the [O]pera House image being selected for it’s asymmetric composition and light mix used throughout. Every aspect of the publication and design of this leading edition, the Best of 2008 Photography Anthology, reflects the quality craftsmanship that went into the production of this special edition. They make terrific coffee table books and treasured gifts for friends and family!

After joining just 3 months ago I’ve had over 1,000 views and many of you have left me such encouraging comments. I’m still awaiting my first sale and a photo feature on the homepage, although I’m benefiting from purchasing my own cards and giving them to my customers who purchase customed framed prints from me – they love ‘em! But beyond anything else, I’m most thankful for what I have learned from my fellow RB members. Words cannot express how much your photography has inspired me, helped me to see things in a “new light” or new view/angle. Simple words from strangers (photographers whose validity is based solely on their actual photos – not on how much money they’re making, what degree they have, what gallery they’re in, where they live or what they look like) have given me real encouragement. I can see my own work improving and I want to thank you for being a part of that. Thank you!!
