I used to do this sort of writing but haven't for a long time. I love calligraphy.
I do my calligraphy in this spot, light is what makes it so special.
Friday, fresh mint tea, grinding my own ink on the stone...life is beautiful...

j } insert your ending here. good or bad. preferrably good. i'm a sucker for sappy inclinations. silk screen, edition of 5.
This one looks like... I don't even have a clue. Apparently there was a great deal of motion and some shakes as the fireworks erupted. both actions seem to be at different times during the 3 second exposure. What day is it? What day is it? ...It's the Fourth of July!
It has been three years since Phil and I enjoyed the Frogmont fireworks when we got a spot on the hill. This time I parked over at Golden Ponds and walked over to Roger's Grove to be the closet to the launch site. Longmont bagged fireworks in the forest fire year. I got stuck some distance across Hover for last year. I was determined to get a lot closer this year. After switching to hand holding long exposures for the carney and Christmas lights, I had great luck so I had that in mind this year. I started out just after 7:00 in the evening but I only managed one of the last two spots at the park.
This is like a box of chonklits; you never know what you gits. After slipping this into Photoshop, I adjusted for the exact perspective for better presentation. The fine coloration was really untouched. I tried to maximize the light streaks. I didn't even need to jamb hell out of color balance and pump the saturations. I left them untouched.
This shot is clearly zoomed even though the EXIF relates 70mm. That must be logged at the end of an exposure. The zoom effect increases at the perimeter of frame and the jiggles were milder at wide angles but because I got tight, lights were kept out of wide shots. I got a lot closer. I did a zoom along with intentional jiggles AND movement to add to the action. I am going to try as many as I can snag. Reality is highly overrated.
I never have finished my previous color lights or rose garden experiments. I will take the opportunity to try out more tricks before the next fair rides. I am still not out of snaps of other subjects but I hope my breadth has expanded. I did vewwy, vewwy wittle warping and editing, for me at least, to present these the way I wanted. I have learned to slow the camera down even further to three seconds this time but I boosted the lens setting to f:/22. Three seconds is about enough to accomplish a wide array of tricks if prepared and prepanned so to speak. Of course this digital experimentation is cheap. I had fun shooting all of these and they were a breeze to edit! I get mostly muted colors in the ag settings I have shot, so I revel in JUST COLORS. And this title DOES have a nice touch for the actual scene, don't you think? I spent hours giving this stuff titles.

I really dig this piece. I like the composition. I need to do more of these in the future. This is a test of my new Gothic typeface. More on the typeface later.
This was inked with a 6mm Pilot Parallel Calligraphy Pen. It was then computer processed to create the circular effect and add the centre S logo.
The repetition in design gives this piece some interest. And from a graphic design standpoint it is actually quite simple to create.
I have three different images to display this. Two are photographs of the printed work. This was a really fun piece to create.
If you are interested in Gothic Calligraphy, consider my three day LIVE course in Toronto at: torontocalligraphyguild.org/2014/04/18/learn-gothic-calli...
Sign up soon if you are interested, or pass this onto a friend. The courses are so much fun.
Cheers

One Unbroken Line...
A cartoon my Dad the pinstriper did when he was flirting with my mom back in the 1950s.
All freehand, the 'speedball' pen was dipped in an inkwell & it has a wide & thin edge to it. While rolling the pen in his hand he got the wide and narrow line, just like old Calligraphy!
I took some of these cartoons to Disney when I worked at Imagineering. One of the artists there looked at it, then back up at me, and said "you know, this explains ALOT..."
...er.. uh.. ok...?

Yo estaba muy ocupada pero igual les abrí la puerta.
Me esperaron un rato tomando café, mientras terminaba unas letras para publicar.
Pidieron azúcar para endulzar las cosas mas tristes que hay que soportar"

I have not been attending to my Flickr site as I am getting ready for a two-week trip to China. I leave Friday morning. But I hope to have many exciting pictures when I return, even sooner if I learn to operate my apple laptop. This may be my last picture for a few days.
Detail of recent painting... integrating calligraphy with sumi
sort of working for me.
