Where is that purple haired shark?
4 years ago
I was wondering that myself..
Hey Y’all it’s me, myself and I.
I am good, fine and definitely not dead. But I have been pretty busy up here in the Canadian version of the Real Life™ (lock-downs and Covid aside). So you may wonder just what kept me so busy that I ignored my virtual life? Well partner, in the beginning it was the heat waves and a major forest fire that smoked out my city and made it impossible to sit near a heat generating gaming computer for more than 5 minutes. Then there was a security issue; My router’s wifi got hacked, and I had some interlopers sneak on to my private network. Now these were people from my building.. one of them on finding a cache of raw sharky pictures (on a media drive) decided to even be so bold as to change the name of their phone to certain sharky name to celebrate this achievement. It took me a while to realize this.. and made me shut down my network to do some serious damage control. After that I started to spend more and more time ‘unconnected’. It also forced me to interact with humans in meat space. And it was for the better I think. I been even doing the pen and paper RPG gaming thing in person (not online), going to more parties and other such social nonsense.
SO that brings me back to here. I am online more now and starting to do stuff again. I have noticed that I should do more brighter and colorful images.. I love shadows and spot lighting but it seems too .. er, I mean.. maybe the dark tones are more a reflection of some depressive mood I am in or something. So I will make an effort to do more cheery brighter work for the next while (although... no promises lol). However I tend to use darker more shadowed pieces to express a type of personal intimacy for the observer. But it also comes down to my media of choice. I have a history of exposure film photography, and my computer rendered work reflects that. I am not trying to make computer renders look like tradition art, or make photo-manipulate composite art. Granted there are a few pieces of mine that cross these boundaries but they are the exception to the rule. So you will find most of my work follows the rules and even limitations of exposure film. And to be clear, I am not knocking anyone who does the other styles of rendering, I love that stuff too.
Ugh I am blabbering again. ANYWAY, I hope you all been doing good and are surviving the most lame, boring and whiny apocalypse the world as seen. Stiff upper lip and all that stuff.
And once again I want to thank all the people that decided to follow me and liked my pictures in my absence. And yes.. I know I have requests to do yet. Remember my flakey nature.. And this was the first time in a long time I did nothing for Shark Week or Halloween. Trust me I was doing stuff tor them in Real Life™.. sorry I never got to virtually reflect for you.
So with all that said,
Love and Fishsticks!
Virtually your, Jayce~
