Watercolor from a Photograph

Ian — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 19:18:45 +0000

In the spirit of my Digital Media class, I’ve been playing around with different styles. This image is an experiment in making a watercolor from a photograph. You may remember it from this post – or not. Comments appreciated. I am, after all, still learning.

A Moment in Time

Ian — Fri, 07 May 2010 09:56:23 +0000

The New York Times Photography Department decided to do something pretty awesome recently, which they are calling “A Moment in Time.” The idea was that photographers around the world would take a picture at the same moment – 1500 UTC on Sunday, May 2, 2010, to be exact – to create a collage of life around the world. You can read more about it and see some of the first picks here.

My offering (above) is from inside a pub near Stamford Bridge in London, where I was watching Chelsea take down Liverpool. Let me tell you… it was tough taking out my camera in the middle of that. It seems that in the priority ranking of my life, football comes before photography. Who’d have thought?

EDIT (10 May ’10 20:17): The Times has posted the results of their grand experiment. I highly recommend it. You can find my photo here, or you can start from the beginning here.

The Grass is Always Greener

Woke up this morning thinking this to myself, and with the urge to mess around a bit in photoshop. Here’s what I came up with. Just a little reminder to be happy wherever you are.

The background photo is Drew__’s “Grass in A Minor.”

The Arboretum

Early last week I took an expedition to the Arboretum – that is, The Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Gardens – to get the dose of nature I’m not otherwise able to get thanks to the not-yet-quite-contained Station Fire. Although you would expect this to be located somewhere downton, it’s not. It’s in Arcadia right here in the San Gabriel Valley, practically my backyard. I’ve been going there since at least preschool and let me tell you, it is a fantastic place to spend the day.

New Orleans

About a month ago, I took a road trip to New Orleans with a couple of friends to celebrate a birthday, go to Jazz Fest, and just chill out. It was an awesome trip that I really needed, and I had a couple of opportunities to take photographs of this beautiful and historic city. Normally, I’ll stick to just concert photography on this site, but every now and then I’ll have something different to share.

But no worries, I got some great Jazz Fest photos that I’ll post later on.
