Dark Matter Noise

I finally hunkered down and finished another stop motion movie. This one I did for my friend Allen Tompkins. It features music from his latest project Dark Matter Noise. Once again, all of the images are single photos taken with the Canon 5D Mark1. I used over 2,000 photographs for this one.

I dropped by to show a buddy my only famous friend, and stumbled upon something great. You’d better believe I’ll be sharing this.
Keep up the hard work :-)

Dodging And Burning in Lightroom 2

It seems like forever since I’ve posted anything. The last few weeks have been pretty chaotic. None the less, I have been trying to keep up with the creativity. This is a picture I took last year of a kid hanging out down the street from my house. I’ve been trying to learn the subtleties…

I love the b&w version also. The intensity of the kid’s expression seems to be amplified; his gaze connects more with the viewer. Also, I’m digging the crop.

Ha Ha. Hopefully someday soon. I’ve been so busy lately.

AHAH!!! Now I see, well when you re-arrange it this way: I LOVE what you did in photoshop buddy! Keep up the awesome work. Oh and btw- you should consider displaying your work in a US gallery, coffee shop or such..I know that Europe appreciates your stuff, but we here in the US do just the same. :O)

Cheers!

Kim, I just now rearranged the post to make it a little more clear. Actually, the color version is the original or ‘before’ picture, and the black and white is the one that has been ‘painted’ with exposure. I think you’re right about the black and white version. As for Margaret Bourke-White… wow, THANKS!!

your original black and white photograph of the youth reminds me of a Margaret Bourke-White photo. It seems to lend itself to perhaps ‘more imagination’ on the viewers part. (that’s just me)
