make a Monet in one shot

sort of. i don’t have his gardens, but this is an abstract, created by shooting a creek’s reflection of the sky & trees above it.

i’m a cheater…wanna know why?

 i found this insanely HUGE spiderweb, but in order for YOU to see it, i must make dew.  no, i didn’t misspell that. i had to create a way for it to be seen. i used a spritzer bottle  filled with water. shoot from one side & BAM, there it is. shoot with the sun,…

blood extracted from rhinoceros tears…for dinner

Intro of last night “Sophie, i want you to make dinner tonight” i said. i was in my art studio, writing up a grocery list. she came in, sat down in a chair & put her head on the table. i asked, “and this drama means what?” she extended her arm, with a hand, groping…
