Waiting for Coffee....

Waiting for Coffee....

Seems like the coffee shop in Bloomington, Indiana opens an hour later on Sunday. I was sitting in my car when I noticed what I thought was a perfect composition of daily life.......Made this image with Pro645, Dynamic Light Orton blended back with the original in Blender - then a bit of Nik Snapseed and finished it off in Photoshop for local changes and sharpening.....

Playing for Free

Playin' for Free, iPhone Image

'Now me I play for fortunes

And those velvet curtain calls

I've got a black limousine

And two gentlemen

Escorting me to the halls

And I play if you have the money

Or if you're a friend to me

But the one man band

By the quick lunch stand

He was playing real good, for free'....Joni Mitchell

Music and iPhone

I was on a flight today from The Hague to Dublin and worked out a new image, John Mellencamp,  for the Music and iPhone series. I had this image in the archives since the mid to late 90's and decided to give it a bit of a Jack Levine treatment on my iPad. Jack was a social realist painter who passed away in 2010.

Image Management:

Photographed using a Nikon F Series Camera
Kodachrome Film
Transfered into the digital world using an Imacon/Hasselblad scanner

On the Ipad:

Auto Painter II
Iris
Filterstorm
Perfect Photo

I do realize that auto-painter II is not high res but I like this setting so I bite the bullet...I can upres later for printing on canvas....

Images from Music and iPhone will be shown starting September 10th at the Renaissance Fine At and Design Gallery as part of the Music, iPhone and other Neighborhoods Sequence. This show wil then move to Toledo, Ohio at Gallery 20 as a benefit for 1Matters.Org, an organization that works hard to house the homeless. They are located in Toldeo, Ohio. All monies will be donated to 1Matters.org.
