I'm scanning the Polaroids from this shoot. They are much different than the digitals. Different process, different look. I liked the digital images so much that is has colored my view of the Polas. I am going to post a few anyway over the next few days so that I can look at them and make some decisions. I am under the gun just now. I am participating in a group show at a college art gallery that opens tomorrow, but I haven't gotten my final prints done. Terrible. Even worse, there are a group of buyers who are supposed to tour my studio (not just mine, but I am included) tomorrow as well, and I have NOTHING up for that. I must get all things done this morning, for my working day is going to be terrible. I have no time. Well, that is the good news, isn't it? I'm not complaining about the situation. It is me. Just me.
The Pola-ju-ju prints look good at 20"x16" on Epson canvas. The texture works well with the weird colors and distressed images. A bit like circus posters. I should probably put grommets in them and figure out how to attach them to a frame with cord. It might be too gimmicky, though.
There is rain this morning and now a grayish-purple sky. It is warm. I have been quarreling and wish to stay home and think and watch the day, just to let my mind go where it will as it attempts to heal.
What would Robert Frost do?
tomorrow? It's good to hear of somebody else that leaves things to the day before. I was up to 3am editing a document I promised to have done today.
ReplyDeleteOh I like the polaroids...maybe even better than the digitals. Both have their charm. And I like the grommet idea.
Watching the day is an excellent way to heal the mind but there is so little time for that sort of thing. Good Luck!
I hope you did what any really good slacker would do.
ReplyDeleteOh wait. I'm the slacker. :P
R, Leaving things undone is my M.O. But I am in the show just in time and that makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteL, I didn't do what the good slacker would do. I did what the modern wage slave does. I am one of those.
