You see - I have put my time to good use being out on site for the past week- hence the nu photo .
I’ve been looking for a field of poppies for ages to take some photo’s of without success , so you can imagine my delight at stumbling across this particular one,
and Dominion of Red seemed to fit the photograph well , as it was certainly a blazing counterpoint in the middle of the normally - uniform, brown countryside .
Now - even if I only had my box brownie with me , this came out quiet well , if I do say so myself , and to be honest if nothing else it does prove one thing - you really do not need an uber expensive camera to take half decent shots .
Some of you may have noticed as a rule I do not take photographs of people , and this is because in the past , I find them un interesting , and yes maybe – predictable
Saying this - a friend of mine works in a large department store , she’s a tall , long dark haired and very pale goth gal , and I’m going to try and persuade her to pose in a massive room filled with mannequins , I’m not sure what form this will take but the idea sounds good to me ……………and yes she keeps her clothes on……… :)
Rosetti’s Ravishing Redheads
Try saying that when your drunk :)
Ok what about –
…………………..ouch my back !!! , the gal in the boat , pomegranate scowl or even ……..head in a bowl ………………………!!!!
Yes I’m talking about The Pre Raphaelites – yet again :)
I suppose this is the only real “classical art” I actually like , but in that era it was considered revolutionary and not classical at all , due to its style and subjects more than anything , which totally broke with all convention at the time.
I do appreciate other offerings, like the various Rennaisance schools , but If left to my own devices I prefer more off the wall stuff abstract and minimalist stuff , although I am always open to new things – so please enlighten me :)
I was talking about an Italian group of artists called The Futurists a few weeks ago , and I was trying to find out about what I thought was one of their pieces entitled - Before the Parachute Opens - with no success , but it has just struck me if the title is correct , it will probably be in Italian , and hence my lack of success :)
So off to babel fish - I think :)
