This polaroid seems like a fitting one for the times we are living in. Prosperity, think about that word for a while. What defines Prosperity for you?

American Smile






































We will never forget what happen on that day, I am happy we can turn the page with a smile.  I hope you enjoy your weekend America.  I"ll leave you with a quote from one of our founding  fathers.


"If we desire to insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known, that we are at all times ready for War."


-George Washington, 
 December 1793

Artist: Michael Johnsson

Very interesting stuff by Michael Johansson born in 1975 in Sweden.  He is exploring the nature of how we consume as human beings. How products shape our lives.  I assume Johansson didn't like this and started shaping the products into whatever form he desired.  I love his take on objects in space. Putting together like objects and un-like objects transforming them into something total new.   What amazes me is how it gets his shape and form in his sculptures! He gets it through color and texture from the product.  By mixing and matching color he gives his sculptures depth. Really impressive stuff. What a great vision he has.  Click through his website you will be amazed.

Zhou Fan


As a child Zhou Fan dream of many many jelly fish floating in the sky and when they fell
to the ground they turned into mushrooms. Amazing what you can turn your dreams into......

October 1, 2010


My life Embedded In The Emulsion for the whole month of October 2010.  One picture a day for the whole month, taken with a point and shoot film camera. Using ISO 800 speed film.  Some days will have notes and some will not. Click on the links you never know where you might end up.  It should be fun and hopefully you will enjoy the images.

Flavor


Sorry for missing Thursday's blog post I was a bit under the weather.  I blame it on Tombstone's frozen pizza.  Man it put a hurting on me but all is well. Sorry Tombstone you will not be allowed in this house no mo! On to the world of Polaroid.  This Polaroid Collage was actually made in 2010. You can't hear me but I'm clapping right now.  The scanner just doesn't show all the color in this one but hey got to make due with what I got.  Enjoy the Flavor and remember Rapidview has more Polaroid Flavors than Tombstone pizza could ever have...now that is saying something

Obsessed with the Visual FeeL


One of my favorite words is melodrama.  I don't say it often but I love how it flows off the tongue.  Say it with me. Melo.....drama, yes you have to drag the 'O' out.  Maybe I just like the word Melo.  You can't have melodrama without drama and that is a shame because I hate drama.  Well as I like to say, drama is good for the soul but bad for the heart.......

Beyond The Gate

It has been a challenge for me to post lately. Just look at my archive and you will see a steady decline. Often I wonder if there has been a decline in my work also?  Maybe this is because I'm finding it harder and harder to find time to create.  Part of that is because I'm riddled with A.D.D just ask my wife she will tell you.  No telling how many Polaroid collages I have made but the simple question is.  Do you see a progression or recession? Every artist wants to know if he/she is moving forward.  I hope my timeline doesn't reflect today's congress that is for sure!  There are ups and downs with every artist but I'm learning to cherish and be thankful for the times that I do get to create and also realizing that it doesn't always have to be about Art.....Creating can be about lasting relationships with others, bringing joy to someone that doesn't expect you to, making a dinner for your family. Bottom line we all create something not because we want to but because WE HAVE to.....

Tides of Peace


I thought this one was appropriate for the times we live in. We have the Leader of Iran announcing that his country has a surprise for the West on February 11, 2010. Great, and my birthday is on 15th! So if anyone knows or has the address for the Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, please email me or leave me a message on this blog because I would love to send him a nice big watermelon. Yes, you say why? I say why not! If all our leaders just sat down with some nice cold sweet watermelon(from the South of course) the world would be a lot safer. We even have seedless watermelon now. Which I try not to partake in because I don't think God intended for watermelon to be seedless. I digress; what I’m trying to say is Peace moves like the tides. People come and go with ideas on how we should achieve peace and we tend to forget about the simplest things that bring peace to this world and to our lives.....like watermelon.
