About this image This is a variation on an image that I
posted a few days ago. It is a huge image and I decided that it would be better to show you a small slice so that you could appreciate the details.
This is the solar cover that we use to heat the pool. It started out as a photograph. My artist has been on a journey for about two weeks now. He bought a new camera. The image quality for poor and so he returned it.
It was a little bit like buying your kid a new toy that they really wanted and it turns out to be no fun to play with.
In a former life Tony was an award winning photographer. He had full page pictures in the New York Times. He didn't take pictures for about 30 years. I got him started again more than 10 years ago.
He started playing with the graphics on the computer. He got back into taking photographs. We traveled, we took trips into the country in New York region. He took thousands of pictures. He started to merge the graphic ability of the computer with his photographs.
Then we moved here to heaven in northern Virginia. And there was peace and quiet and a chance to play with his darling granddaughter. The cameras got better, the graphics on the computer got better, the monitors got better and the
Techno-Impressionism really started to blossom.
What made me realize how far Tony's work has moved away from photography and become art is when I was looking through
Tony's on-line journal and I saw how many of the pages were just photographs. When I look through the
Musings of a muse I see mostly art.
Musings of a muse This is an open letter to my artist.
Your writing is great, you are an expert when it comes to cameras, but your path is now art not photography. Write about how the camera is merely where you make the sketch of your image. I love you.
