Appreciating the creative world


like
The creative world is something I don’t fully appreciate. If I look at a sculpture, a painting or listen to a symphony I am like a child gazing at a lollie and see only the end product and feel the simple urge to like or dislike. My duration in an art galley is minutes in comparison to the hours Verity and Bronni spend.






8000 shots to get this right


In the last couple of days we have been with a young artist Craig Dyson (22) http://www.craigdysonsculpture.co.uk/ and I have come to realize that originality of thought and technique is sometimes as important to the artist as the final product.
In the picture alongside it took Craig some 8000 shots to get it right. Each with a 15 second time exposure. Amazing
He was accused of photo shopping by a lecturer but I am confident that this is the real deal. He described to me his technique. If your interested in photograph check the web page.
