Daniel Rozin is an interactive artist who works around the concept of mirrors, making many different pieces that reflect the work around them using shadows on tilting ‘pixels’. The videos below are demonstrations of my favorite two, but check out youtube for the many others.

I found this artist today as I was perusing the interwebs, and I’ve posted a couple of my favorites from her website. Danielle Tunstall is a photographer/graphic artist who does a lot of horror and shocking portraits. If you visit her website and DON’T want to see anything that might give you nightmares, she has a section in her portfolio called ‘Unalarming Portraits‘. Otherwise, fair warning that some of her work can disturbing, and isn’t for everyone.

Grant Gunderson is a local Bellingham photographer who shoots a bunch of skiing and other outdoor sports. Of course he’s more on the action photography side of things, but I find much of his work quite inspiring, especially the image below. Here’s his website
I haven’t done much film photography before, so I learned a lot from the reading. It made many of the things we went over in class a little more clear. The sections on altering the contrast, exposure, and density of the photographs during development was very interesting. It’s always interesting to see how those things are done in the analog world. The section on photograms was interesting as well, I remember doing those as a kid in my Dad’s darkroom. Liquid photographic emulsion is also intriguing to me, I’d love to experiment with that.
From the series called “In the Round: Carousels”. You can see more of Pep Ventosa’s work here.

Even though this is a music video it gave me a lot of ideas of doing for portraits. Itmakes me want to experiment with different types of portraiture. Plus I love this song! Hope everyone enjoys.
Was featured in Flickr’s blog today. Check out this gem I came across.

We watched this mock commercial for “Photoshop” in my media class today while exploring the implications technology has on our culture, especially through advertising and other media. So I thought I’d share it with you!
Processed/scanned these today. Pretty exited to finally see them – I’ve been lazy so they’ve been sitting in the can since the end of November. Early season snowboarding at Enchantment park in Leavenworth. Kodak Tri-X 400.
