Going over to Marcelina’s again. And I’m wearing THE SAME SOCKS.
Our next photography assignment is to make three photographs that represent a piece of music. Der. As rich as photography can be, I don’t think any photograph could decently convey the depth of music.
Oh well. I’m not one to argue with assignments. ::smiles grimly::
Current contenders, so far:
“Revolution 9”, Beatles
“Bolero”, Moulin Rouge version (most likely going to be dismissed, as it’s too richly moving)
“Not the Red Baron”, Tori Amos
The piano bit at the end of “Clubbed to Death”, Rob D (from “The Matrix” CD)
“Carbon”, Tori Amos
Something from the “Amelie” or “Nightmare Before Christmas” sountrack
Feel free to add suggestions, if anything strikes you. I’m still looking through my music for ideas. Tori Amos has potential. I’m also thinking of music where the orchestration is more important and prominent than the lyrics. Der.
Maggie needs to be locked up in a cell and forced to do nothing but draw lots and lots of sexy, sexy men for all eternity. And I’m serious about this.
Woo! I spent the day in Fort Worth, Dallas’ sister city of sorts, where I went with my family, my photography teacher, and a boarder to lunch, the new Ft. Worth Modern museum, and the Ft. Worth Country Day photography show. Won third place for Tom. Hurrah!
Once Lucas wraps the upcoming Episode III after 2005, he said that he’ll focus on more personal films. “I’m going to go from complete success to complete failure,” he said.
::snorks:: Too late, ol’ boy.
“Personally I don’t really think the Good Omens movie is dead. I think of it as lying in a glass coffin with white lilies on its chest and with mournful dwarfs all around it, all of them waiting for a prince to ride up on a big white horse, carrying with him about sixty million dollars.” –Neil Gaiman
I got new socks on! ::waggles toes::
And now I’m going over to Marcelina’s.
Woah.
Quote of the Day:
(playing “Boys for Pele” in the Photography lab)
Becky: Is this Christian rock?
Me: No, it’s Tori Amos.
Photography was quite interesting. I’ve been wanting to try to print on mylar for quite some time, so over the past week, I sprayed the mylar so that it would accept the Liquid Light (a paint-on emulsion) and painted it. Today, I had time to print. I used a high-contrast transparency of a photo of a religious icon, and went through the motions. However, in the developer bath, I noticed that the mylar wasn’t taking to the process as well as it had originally seemed. It marred quite easily — anything innocently brushing against it would wipe emulsion away from the page. I decided not to give up, as if all else failed, I would still have some excellent PS grunge brush fodder. The first large image came out rather well, and due to my deliberately sloppy brushwork, the shoddiness looked intended. Go me.
For the second large image (I only painted two large pieces and two index-card pieces for test strips), I decided to combine the transparency with a negative of another religious statue. This one was a complete mess, due to the fickle nature of Liquid Light, but I might figure out something to do with it in Studio Art. Lovely grunge. ::grins:: Yayfun. I’ll scan n’ show when I first get the chance. Maybe tonight I’ll scan the negatives.
Huzzah! And the Chaos theory project is finished, 30 minutes under the wire! ::grooves:: I don’t know what I would have done if I’d had rehearsal today. The gods must be smiling upon me today. And let it be known that Marcelina is the most wonderful person in the world, just because. ::gives her mad schnoogles::
