negative, or inverted photos

Journal Entry: Fri Jul 20, 2007, 3:26 PM
<rant>
People of dA:

Using Photoshop's invert colors does not qualify as art. I don't care if you think it "looks cool" or whatever. It's just as bad as those people who take a snapshot and run it through the pointilize filter or something. Again, art is not made by a canned PS filter. Come on, people! Work at it a little.
</rant>

OK, now since the rant is off, I can't say my art is anything spectacular. True. I did however put some effort into it. Maybe I didn't take a week, but it was more an expression I was trying to achieve than some lame Van Gogh filter applied to some sucky snapshot.

Have a nice day :)

You have a wonderful, pure look to your modeling. I think it's in your eyes and the way you gaze through the lens. Wonderful work! :)

Well, then I commend you even more. It's one thing to snap a piccie -- anyone can do that. It's completely something else to do it artistically, and moreover to emote while you're waiting for the camera on its timer. I can never figure out how long the stupid thing is going to wait. Always seems like an eternity and it never takes the picture when you're ready for it. :)

Cheers ;)

You're very welcome. Do you have a photographer? I just find it amazing if you're able to achieve those results with a tripod and/or a timer. Nice work!
