Hello? My Camera? I'd Like to Order a Photo Please!

Ok. I came across this iPhone app in one of my photography magazines and just couldn't believe it - I can phone in my camera settings and take a picture! This is just a bit wild! It is yet another reason to get an iPhone. I've been resisting, but between this and the Magic 8-Ball app, an iPhone is sure to be in my future :-)

Honestly, I don't know much about this app and it's not one that I would find very useful in my current photographic work, but it's such an interesting intersection of technologies. What's your opinion? Are you using it? I'd love to hear from someone using it in the field, so please leave a comment and let me know what you think of this app.

Traditions Meeting In Glass

Hi All,

I've really got to get better about posting more regularly. There are so many things to explore and talk about!

Today's artistic inspiration is brought to you by glass artist Preston Singletary. 

I came across an article about his work and an exhibition of his currently at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma. I was totally captured by both the glass and the way he has applied it to traditional Tlingit art forms. I like how he considers the luminescent qualities of glass as part of the spiritual presence of the pieces. The shadows and reflections of the glass reach out beyond the physical presence of the art adding a dimensional quality not achieved with other media.

Gunalcheesh Preston!

The show is currently in Tacoma, but look out for dates when it hits the road. There are plans that include Alaska and I'll be sure to pass on the details when I hear them. This is really something to see. Until then, think about ways of adding more dimension to your own art. 

ENJOY!

Glass brings another dimension to Native American art. It’s luminous quality and shadow effect are like a spirit that appears when this lighting is right”
