John Sexton and Kim Weston Part IV Interviews

I received the Part IV of the Sexton / Weston interviews yesterday from Epson.  Just finished listening to both of them, which prompted me to immediately drag out my archival boxes of B&W prints that I have developed int he darkroom and review each one of them again!  I'm still not there - at least that's how I see it after looking at Sexton and Weston's prints.  My photography is mostly scenic - vast expanse of landscapes and cities.  I think I want to reign in on some of that vastness and possibly focus on getting closer to a subject.  I do that with people, so why not do that with scenes.  Pick one object to focus in on with the rest in the background.  Well, I guess I actually do that now.  But listening to those interviews re-inspire me to do better.  And I wouldn't mind taking a workshop from either one of them!  It's funny, they both love to go where I love to go - Point Lobos.  Not sure if I've been to Weston Beach??  Maybe I have and just didn't know it.  Now I want to go again and find out where it is!  Here's the link if you'd like to hear the last session:  http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Landing/black-and-white-printing-tutorials-expert-interviews.do?RMID=eml_pi_072413_BWPart4&RRID=3167862

I had the opportunity to paint with my granddaughter over the weekend.  That was a fun evening.  We both whipped out an acrylic painting.  I have to say hers was the best!  It's both celestial and oceanic looking.  Beautiful blues and purples.

Still contemplating whether to have another gallery wrap made for the Artstock Show coming up at the end of August.  I have time.  I should get busy on that project.

I was busy over the weekend working on photos I had taken at a friend's shower.  Everyone was asked to wear something 'yellow'.  The images came out really beautiful just for that reason.  Yellow is very warming!  Now I just need to put them on disk and send them out to her and I'll be finished with that project.
