WONDERFUL ADVENTURE
ReplyDeleteSIEGFRIED! You saved the best for last :)
ReplyDeleteYour Randomlys are my favorite - I can't imagine how long they take to compile. Thank you!
So glad you enjoy them, Sasha. And, yes, Siegfried! The compiling doesn't take long, actually, as I'm constantly - tossing - images into a hu-u-uge file on my laptop, any odd or beautiful or funny thing that I find as I'm going along. Things that don't feel sufficient for a full, stand-alone blog post. Then, when I want to put together a "randomly" post, I dive into the file and - randomly - pick things out. It's THEN that it gets time consuming, because it's all about the - transitions - for me, how one image leads into the next, how they might "speak" to each other. Color or detail or gesture. Or funny contrasts. Since they - are - chosen randomly, it's a fun game of finding those connections. Quite a puzzle. But I love it. And what's also fun for me is that, after I've posted the things, I frequently find connections I hadn't even planned; my silly little brain working overtime and I unaware!
DeleteThanks again for the comment. : )
I add my heartfelt and admiring thanks! This is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteDarling Stephen,
ReplyDeleteSuch a dazzling cornucopia of delights you present us with here. So many variations in colour, composition and detail and, yet, they seem to be connected in some way, perhaps through the eye of the artist. You clearly have an eclectic view of beauty and what fun it is to share in these collected images.
Our favourite is the Corot....a traditional choice but, yet, that image speaks volumes.
Bonjour, J-and-L! Yes, I expect these "randomly" posts come as close as anything to seeing through my eyes. They're always a big mass of things that I find captivating in one way or another. But then, as I described in a comment above, the challenge is to make all the disparate elements FLOW, how to make them into something like a cohesive group, how to make them "speak" to one other.
DeleteGlad you enjoy the Corot. Lovely thing; I didn't remember ever having seen it. I always take special care with how the "parade" begins and how it ends. Have to draw the audience in and have to leave them on a high note. It's all theatre, isn't it?! ; )
