I think we all know this feeling. We want to make pictures we already composed in our heads, but we running into practical difficulties.

Maybe we should not stare at the horizon but pay attention to the road. Sounds corny, but I think there's a truth in it.

Sometimes a picture takes months to develop and grow in your head.
And sometimes you see it comes back to you in a different way.

This is a very good blog post! Zibert's stuff is really great.

Here's the funny part. I sometimes spend a week, or a month, or *blushes* six months on an image. But I find myself yearning to execute them more quickly.

Sometimes there are technical challenges that take a while to research and resolve.

But often I think I get a deafness to my creativity that stalls me.

#2, its not as artsy as the others, but I think it relates best to a place where someone would be sitting throwing one back. I think the bush in the other pictures deters from the relational effect. Who wants to sit so close to a bush?
I see an older gray haired scruffy guy in faded black jeans, a dusty black button down shirt, holding a plastic bag sitting on the ledge sipping a room temperature brew.

hmmmm , I think a variety of characters drinking under their own circumstances : bummed , happy , raging , satisfied , chillin', stoked , etc . I think it would bring some depth and dynamism to your idea .... otherwise it just seems a little too still life-y

2009-11-02T11:39:07.107-08:00

That's an interesting thought. What do you think that person would look like, and how are they drinking beer? Are they kind of slouched over and bummed, or are they drinking a delicious, cold, satisfying beer at the end of the day? What would it look like?

I think someone drinking the beer in that location would be 110 times more engaging and interesting ... and fun to look at

I also think the last one is the best. I don't like the second. The first has a bit more info with the ' open' neon, but here the composition doesn't seem to work.
So nr.3 it is.

There is something heartbreaking about the lonely beer can. It's empty, used, and discarded. What a fate. But for a short while, it was someone's best friend. Oh, the stories it could tell.

No Jamie, stick to the thing you love doing! It is very tempting to do everything, but it only messes up your creative spark. I've been there, I just got back and never want to go there again.

It IS possible to be a "Bo Jackson." You can be an all-star in several areas. It is simply a matter of if the other discipline has a common denominator. If there are in fact major commonalities, principles, tools, systems, audiences, demographics, or abilities; it can make a diversification fast, logical and profitable.

Hey Jaimie -

How's it going? This is Bill from Tendo. That's funny, I was able to lounge w/ the times this past weekend and when I saw that photo it reminded me of your photography - particularly those 70's style CA ranch homes. And sure enough, it was yours...didn't realize it at the time. Pretty wild.

Anyway, hope all is well.

Bill

2009-09-10T05:26:49.832-07:00

I think for somebody raised in the 70's there will always be a beautifull kind of nostaliga to these images or pallettes. It ispires me definitely.

Could they just be Photoshoped to look like this, or would it be necessary to set-up proper lighting/lens's/etc or both?

2009-09-08T11:06:06.316-07:00

Yes, I would love to create some images that look / feel like this very polaroid. But making them from scratch is way harder than finding them in an old shoebox!
