10 inspirational light paintings

Ever see those Sprint commercials where they use those animated light trails to make something cool? I love light paintings. A lot of work to make them look right, but that’s what makes them so great, the amount of skill it takes to make a good light painting. Here’s some great light paintings for you to look at. Do you enjoy this kind of photography?

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

European Art= Unrealistic Expression

European Art at its finest

Type- European Art of the 1900′s

Camera- Nikon D40

Exposure- 1/30 sec

f-stop- f/3.5

Program- Adobe Photoshop Cs4 and Adobe lightroom

This picture to me represents the joyfulness of life.  This is one of my favorite pictures in my portfolio due to the subject matter.  I also like the picture because it represents repetition of form(when you repeat a certain size, shape, or color) and in this case it would be the squares.  Its really interesting to study how the Europeans depicted life, the babies were never small but always a certain size, i would say the artists really made the babies disproportionate which was common in all European art.


Haiti Earthquake Aftermath

I couldn’t fathom the feelings of the Haitian people, I could only sympathize with them. When it all seems hopeless and everything is gone, all I can say is, hold onto your spirit; stay strong and united – that’s what’s going to bring you through these times. My prayers go out to the people in Haiti.

Workers Comp x Clean Mess

Mess’n around with the photos I took. Clean Mess on the rise, look out.


Worker’s Comp.

I work at Brooklyn warehouse when I’m home for the semester breaks – every morning me and mass of other men wait to be called for work. Every morning 6:30 am. You could even say it’s an example of institutionalization. I see this every morning.

Ehh, the composition on these photos could have been better, nevertheless, I like the way they came out. RAW!


Pre-TEN:15/Post-TEN:15


TEN:15 Variant

Chad Harris, Cross Island Parkway, Rear View.

I thought about Starin’ Through my Rear View by Tupac as I looked at this photo. (Lyrics after the jump)

Brief: TEN:15

HOW DID IT START: a small group of people looking for an artistic diversion in the morning.

WHY?: We thought it would be interesting to see what one minute in time looks like in different places. A collection of life, work + play that revolves around 10:15 am.

It’s provided us with an opportunity to take a step back and look at our surroundings differently. Plus it’s always fun to see what other people are doing.

JOIN THE EXPERIMENT: If you have a camera phone or camera on you at 10:15 am, take a photo that shows a random glimpse of your life at that moment and email it in. Include your name, the location, a title for your photo and your website link (if you have one). Thanks for playing!

After The Storm

After work on Friday, on my way home, I tried to conceptualize new ideas from old ideas and designs, and some ideas to put on paper as well. I’ve been thinking about mixing medias, using P R I S M A C O L O R markers and watercolours to get the start of a new look-book. Anyway, after the storm, around sunset, the sky was beautiful. It was maybe sepia toned. I wish I got the shot somewhere else, but my room window sufficed, and was convenient. I had to lower the aperature on my camera to get the color and the silhouette. I like the urban feel, the color looks great. I definitely need a Nikon.

Lee Jaffe Photographs Basquiat

jaffe1-500x735

Lee Jaffe photographs the legendary Jean Michel-Basquiat painting in Jamaica. Basquiat gained popularity first as a graffiti artist in New York City, and then as a successful 1980s-era Neo-expressionist artist. In 1977, when he was 17, Basquiat started spray painting graffiti on slum buildings in lower Manhattan, adding his signature/tag of “SAMO” or “SAMO shit”(same ol’ shit). (This is where I got the tag idea from). You can also visit Lee Jaffe’s site here.

Some pictures from the Haitian Parade on Sunday that took place up Nostrand Ave. The marchers begin marching down the street from me, so I decided to get out and take some photos.


Bizy Dreaming x Montage 2009

montage

You haven’t seen one of these headline’s in awhile, Bizy Dreaming x “you”, or Bizy Dreaming x anyone else for that matter. I gave you an heads up a while back, that I’d be featured in a school publication, a publication, nevertheless. Anyway, it has arrived!!! I didn’t get what I wanted to be published, but I got something worthy of credit, so I’m excited about that. Next year, we are going for something better. I have a 3/4 page on page 18 for digital photography, check me out! This year’s edition of Montage is surprisingly far better than last year’s copy because more artists decided to step up. I have a few extra copies left from the ones I gave out, send me an email and we can work something out. Very limited copies!

Spring Concert: Waking The Giant pt.2

Like I said in the first article, which I probably didn’t clarify, I volunteered to help setup for the Spring Concert ’09 at my school, HELLO, GOODBYE and LUDACRIS. I really volunteered hoping to meet Ludacris backstage, maybe a new follower? I Tried. But it was cool though, the stage came out great, I got free food – my meal plan is low, and met some new people.

April Showers pt.2

Remember, in the last article labeled April Showers, Igot the idea to take pictures out my bathroom window. Well, I did the same thing on another rainy day. Yesterday, April 21st. By the way, today is Earth Day. Happy Earth Day! I took the photographs around the same time as the first time to get the same lighting. The leaves are almost or even fully grown in just two weeks later. April Showers!

So I helped out the Student Government Association (SGA) E-Board/ the Student Center load-in and setup the stage for the Spring Concert, “Waking the Giant.” Thursday, April 16th, the first night we got started, we put together the entire stage; Friday, we setup the audio and lights. I also took a few photographs up at TD Bank North Sports Center.

Wake The Giant

This week and weekend was a little hectic; I didn’t get what I need accomplished along with other miscellaneous things. However, I hiked Sleeping Giant, embedded the design on Musiq’s Myspace Music page, helped setup the stage for the Spring concert(article coming soon), met a friend, and chilled with the homies. Sounds good! This week, I was a little more “Earthy,” I hiked the mountain, and played on the field all day; I have this slight phobia of standing on grass, anything other than concrete cement for that matter. Anyway, I enjoyed the weather and good company.

April Showers

For some reason, I got the idea to take a couple pictures of the same spot at different times in the day. I was looking out my bathroom window and I just ran to get my camera. The pictures didn’t come out the way I saw it from my window, but it’s whatever. Essentially, I wanted to capture the leaves budding, which the pictures seem to do effectively. So it works! I think the water droplets in the third picture looks like shinning crystals. That’s just me.

Enjoi!

Good Eats!

chicken-tortilla_2Chicken Tortilla Bread Bowl Soup

Lunch at Panera Bread, good eats! The Chicken Tortilla bread bowl soup was delicious – very filling on the consumers end, worker-friendly/work efficient on the workers end, and eco-friendly, if you want to take it that far. After you finish your soup, you can eat the bread bowl as well. Less work for the workers, crafty.
