Here is a photo that was given to me to restore in whichever way I wanted, the original picture had a very orange colour cast and was blown up large which showed up lots of grain and noise. so first I corrected the colour the best I could and then smoothed as much of the noise and grain as I possibly could, which was no easy job taking a few hours, even then it was still pretty grainy and noisy so I decided to have a go at a digital painting which would help to smooth out the final picture even more and add a more desirable background, and give it a more finished look, this picture will never be that great blown up large, but would probably look good about A5 size mounted and framed.
"Hope" is a unique and powerful short film with a message of peace for the future. Combining animation, archival footage and live action, in a multi-layered non-linear story, the film brings the viewer on a fascinating journey through human existence. 'Hope' is shaped around the knowledge and ideas of Willy Whitefeather, a man in his sixties of Cherokee ancestry, a fascinating storyteller, healer, survivalist and an individual of wisdom and heart. Using traditions and stories from Native American and world cultures, the film combines dreams, images and reminiscences from our collective memory to send a message of hope for the future. Now is the time to reconnect with Spirit, to recognize the effects of our actions, to evaluate the underlying causes of suffering and to reshape our life and our world into a harmonious one.
I like taking photos and making images of all kinds, I love animals especially dogs and horses, I will be posting my favorite personal clips, vids & pics in this space, basiclly i am gonna focus on the best bits of life here
cutting the other stuff, so when I look back on it all(especially when i'm having a bad day}I can have something to smile about to remind me that life isn't so bad and there was and still is good times.
I hope that anyone else veiwing these pages will get something from it too. There is also some music that I like here , if you dont like it just pause the ipod below.
UPDATE
Well it is now 2013 and I have not kept up to date with my blog for a long time, a lot has happened during that time including taking in more work a couple of years ago and being diagnosed with M.S last May, but I'm ok and still taking lots of pictures just not finding much time to post and share them, which is why I'm here now in a effort to start posting regularly again my life just seems so hectic right now
But I miss my blog
