November 29th 2004

A month past of undulating activity....
'pleasure to pain syndrome'; mimicry once more of that 70's 'Stretch Armstrong Doll'
& allegedly now (thank YOU a certain deviant! lol) I'm about to be burnt at the Stake....
exciting times indeed!!!

Apologies for reposting this Journal twice in 24 hrs...
the previous was produced in a maddening flurry & now I pause to glimpse & scrutinize,
ooodles of lil' errors within...plus my layout is lacking in style & readability of ease....
alas, as yet I am unable to use the full HTML coding available only to subscribers....
maybe 'tis time for me to do just that

PLUS I'd neglected to add I do hold a Stock Account here also... [link]
'tis not one of professional standard yet contributes a lil' I hope
to a few whom are perhaps searching for nature & portrait photography.

One effervescent lady yesterday commented upon my latest contribution to DA: "CITAR" ( [link] )
(which in bullfighting terms means 'to provoke'...)
she asked if I used 'Poser', a Q. which tickled me so (now I understand the Q. fully)
YET burnished me with a valuable laurel, a wonderful kudos of approbation for a lil' while
My 'style' of concept to eventual visual realisation was baptised digitally
due to displeasure in the pixellation of original exponential low~resolution imagery:
namely from one sad & sorry webcam now gathering silicosis in my voluminous boxes of Computer ephemera....


^{which reminds me...
anyone in the UK/London whom enjoys tinkering with Apple Macintosh antiquated parts,
inclusive of a decrepit yet working Sony 17" monitor plus PowerMac7600/132;
miles of SCSI cables; peripherals incl. of modem, etc...
please feel at liberty to relieve me of these, gratis...
seems a shame to merely jettison all to the dump which is my intention within the next week or so}

I digress I have not yet ploughed into the depth & mystification of Poser, etc
much as I would enjoy I'm sure, to contemplate, study & perhaps eventually to utilise
as a fine tool in my extraneous creativity here, so I leave it be for the time being
& in the more than capable hands of Mssr's Carlos-Teran & company.....
stunning masterpieces executed with such finesse *sighs* take time, diligence & patience.
For now, I keep to my PS for 'tis the one medium I am at comfort with...
a lil' as per my Macs...

Indeed, should one take a lil' time to peruse the following links in my scraps:
& if intrigued to do so, you may view

[link]

one of the the original low~res digicam shots from this series
(perhaps the worse end of the spectrum, yes...as 'tis so dark & undefined)....
*smiling* NOW see *winks* just how much I love to work upon such as for me personally,
'tis a challenge to recreate the figurative form back to a beauteous, tangible & at times epicurean splendour
aside from using popular 'tools' such as 3D programmes & studio photography...
which I greatly admire & have much respect for also.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

The scrap offering:
[link]

also imparts a lil' insight to my working process...
the impact of vitality I wish to retain wholly in my completed & metaphorical gallery works still....
the recent 'scraps' simply to enlighten a few curious perhaps to know 'how' I do so
& the visual genesis of most of my digital work here in DA

Avidly working & beavering away still, yes with professional pursuits & extraneous matters of variegated pressure & challenges, yet at times, utterly gorgeous abandonment consuming my days & eves also ....my 'input' to D.A. being somewhat minimal of late alas & I foresee indeed October being a month peraps of more 'quietus'....demands aplenty I'm afraid....

However, nodding my head furiously with smiles & laughter here in DA often still...a huge admiration for an absolute cacophony of skilled & precious souls...passions aplenty Thank YOU the positive & wonderful contributors of inspiration, style & breathless dexerity....inclusive of those whom take time, energy & thought to rest awhile here in my own gallery. An impossible mission to respond to all yet know, quietly, your thoughts, responses & comments are appreciated, read in full & assimilated with grace....well, almost all

Notable & Exceptional Works Within:

carlos-teran: Carlos, a dear man, so passionate & accomplished: absorbs progression with ebullience & a steadfast conviction. A fascinating individual, talented in so many fields from the written word to artistic expression...sharing & altruistic...quietly attentive & blessed with the gift of conveying tangible emotions throughout his work. Multi~faceted brilliance.

Fangfingers: .What may I say? Unique, quixotic, gallant witty & a hypersonic speedball of garrulous hilarity....this creature will have you astonished, no...breathless! at his ability to touch the soul with his writings & colloquy. Extremely outspoken with honest & raw critiqué. A soul who loves, cares laughs & parries upon digital canvas.......endless ability.

signalbox: Geoffrey will invite you into his world with suffused warmth & conviction for one to see past the carapace: some of the most sensitive & expressive photography I've had the pleasure to witness here. An altruistic man with deep passion, fearless to exploring boundaries & he builds a wonderful, special intimacy with both viewer & model. A loving, man with dazzling yet soft wings of nurturing & safekeeping....

Jomina: Ira, a benevolent compassionate being, exhausting his energies to bring his beautiful works to you....philanthropic with tutorials, humane & passionate, a true creative...a beautiful artist.

kevissimo: An innovative individual, a polished technician...scrupulous with detail & faithful to originality....one with an unmistakable ability of judicious skill & meticulous imagination. Consistent & thought~provoking.

arachnid15: A diligent, expressive Portrait Photographer: the author of a beautiful, tactile & industrious gallery...loyal & dedicated to his exquisite works displaying a finesse in impeccable presentation & sophisticated sensual sensitivity....

pixeltool: Alonso...evocative works in his variegated gallery of exquisite samples of texture, atmosphere & layerng techniques....wonderful to watch in evolvement...intriguing.

rabidmongoose: Terragen & Sci~Fi being an arena blinkered from mine eyes in delight before I met with this wonderful character....dedicated to personable approach, takes time to sift & appreciate. Opens the windows to a beautiful, elegant world in his masterpieces of this arena.....see his tactile atmospheres & breathe deeply...

shley77: Stunning works from a Traditional Artist....inspirational & proud owner of a faultless photorealistic gallery....this is sheer talent from one so young....remarkable!


TVRT-Tyler: If the 'airbrushed' style is to your liking, Andrea is a connoisseur of perfection in this arena....spirited, polished works amongst a diverse port~folio demonstrating the will to explore. Gifted with sensitivity & dexterity.
