Portraits

Using only available light this is an old shot of a good friend of mine.  I recently reedited this shot for more drama, I wanted to create the feel of a lost writer from previous generations and think it worked out

Spirits at Bioluminescent TIde post 2

Spirits at Bioluminescent TIde

Late September the red ide in san diego led to a spectacular light show with the bioluminescent plankton lighting up the waves.  While my attempts to capture the waves themselves were wildly unsuccessful these shots of people enjoying the sights were great.

Americana: Fear an Loathing in the American West Video

I made this years ago set to Tom Waits's house were nobody lives take a look tell me what you think

Dali

A month or so ago we went to the opening of the spanish masters exhibit at the san diego county museum of arts.  This was a fun event music cocktails and wonderful art.  While i was there i decided to pay tribute to my favorite Spanish master Salvador Dali.

These shots were taken not so much in the style of Dali but in the spirit.  Using the Dali lens and film in the hipstamatic iPhone app i created these strange and surreal images of an art opening.

I owe a lot to Salvador Dali in my inspiration and life.  His art is one of the reasons i started using my talent to create art and not simple drawings.

Live Circus

I know its late but I find myself awake and listening to music.  Mostly I cannot sleep tonight because I have got a ton of ideas running through my head and felt i should put them on paper or hard disk before i fall asleep and forget them.  


However, while writing an email to my bosses and listening to some Tom Waits the song Live Circus a lyric fit perfectly with this image, and got me thinking about trying to shoot some more to go along with this song


So while I write this i find myself thinking what other inspiration might my iTunes have form me????  This you all for checking this out and expect new great things to come, ideas are pouring in. Also, i must thank you Mr. Waits for years of musical enjoyment and inspiration. 

Blue Reflections

 

I took these over a year ago and They have sat collecting hard drive moths.  Overall I think these came out great.  The deep blues are great the reflections are perfect.  

Untitled Science Fiction

Another Scifi'ish pic today.  Very interesting composition with the Hipstamatic.  Almost looks like the ship from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

A Time Slip

copyright Jerry H Slough 2011

A slip in the time space continuum.  A pause in reality, a change in the matrix.  Reality has been altered or just a moment, or has it.  Is this simply the falsity of photography.

Mother and Daughter

Mother and daughter with interesting composition.  This was such a fun day and it was great to see people playing in such a care free fashion.  No i devices no internet connection or text messages.  Of course Obviously was not part of this equation but it was for arts sake.

Beach Day

Sunday at the beach caught a mother and daughter on film.  So to speak, digital image.  Very beachy fun shot

Post number 2 for today trying to make up for my absence.  Shot this little bugger while out for a walk last night.  I liked him and wished i could have captured his web a little better it was probably around 5 ft in diameter how awesome is that any way good night all share with your entomologist friends

Magic Mushrooms

Actually i believe they are shittakki however they look like the faeries have been near.  This was a happy accident shooting through a glass dome designed to create humidity for the mushrooms to grow.  I think what happened is the camera picked up the subtle glow from the moisture inside of the dome.  That combined with the "infrared" look created buy the hipstamtic settings created this visually stunning view of mushrooms.

Equinimity

The entrance to the meditation gardens in Ojai, Ca.  What a peaceful place you could truly spend hours siting in these gardens and meditating,  It is truly a place you can sit of peace.

Spirits

 Not telling how i did these my secret for now.  However, they are very other ghostly.

Take a Seat and Read

One of my favorite pass times.  Well minus the coffee,  this is at Barts Books in Ojai, Ca.  This book store is almost all outside, there are some books for sale outside the walls that are basically on the honor system.  I love bookstores, used books and reading.  This shout with its high contrast highlights and deep shadows to me encompasses the mystery of a bookstore.

Im Going for a Walk.

It was actually before dinner but hey.  took the dog for a walk took the iPhone with me.  This was a fun image, trying new downloads to hipstamatic.  So every one is extremely lucky today and gets 3 images.
