My love for this man is immeasureable, unquestionable and infinitesimal.

Fractal Art and Circles

Fractals

Circles

"Encapsulated"

If you look hard enough you will see a famous London tourist attraction hidden in a sphere of warm colour and projecting light. The clue is in the title.

A structure of magnificence and undeniable splendour

gracefully and silently dominating the London sky

with its grandeur and elevation;

Its circular movements perpetually governing

the Capital`s skyline,

Its fluidity of motion as smooth as

a cascade of tulip petals

falling softly to the ground;

Automated and robust, a ferris wheel like no other

imitated by many;

emanating and provoking thoughts

and reactions of wonderment and joy.

The Body Beautiful

Las Vegas - September 2009 was the venue for this years` Mr Olympia.

This project has been a real challenge for me mainly because of the constraints and boundaries imposed by my collaborator and target audience. Those familiar with my work will recognise my need for vivid colour and extreme colour combinations and elaborations.

In this project I have found myself struggling sometimes to focus on the core of the required image and not necessarily attempt to achieve the

overall artisitic projectory that I naturally strive for. There have been times when I have felt the need to "water down" my creative pallete and that has not come easy to me.

I have however, enjoyed this project and the challenges it brings to my creativity, stretching my abilities as an artist, calling for constraints and steering me into artistic areas I would otherwise not have ventured into. Art and creativity is about learning different things and learning to familiarise yourself with alien attributes and visually diverse methods of achieving images to not only satisfy others but to be proud of yourself. Education is a wonderful thing and I hope to continue to improve and flourish in the never-ending flavours I have tentatively tasted in this latest project.

Photo manipulation project for new scheme of work. The body beautiful enhanced and manipulated using technology and my own artwork as a source of inspiration.

Photo Manipulation with People as Subjects

Both Cain and Devon have a look of "attitude" in this photograph. Although they appear to be posing each of their faces indicates more than just the usual posed photo of children playing in the park. The looks to camera give more meaning to the image especially when coupled with the ambiguous title of the print.

Although Cain is looking at the camera in this shot, it is apparent by his expression that the picture was not staged. This is due partially by the fact that he is looking over his shoulder. I felt the picture captured a wonderful moment of innocence and natural beauty.

Trevor

When I first viewed this photograph I knew it was stunning.  I had spent ages in the back garden, clicking away on my digital camera, waiting for "The One".  Trevor was a difficult subject as he was so mobile, also his movements were very jerky and amazingly quick, making most pictures appear blurry - not the look I hoped for.  My camera has a slow shutter speed making it even harder to capture a clean photo.  I am not a professional photographer, so don`t have the knowledge or equipment used to produce perfect shots.  But by being patient and trying to stay calm, I was delighted to catch Trev in all his feline beauty.  My son stood just out of shot holding up some blades of grass to tempt Trevor and finally satisfy me.  It look quite a long time, but was so worth it!
