Study of the day:
" [...] Pitié pour la viande! La viande n'est pas une chair morte, elle a gardé toutes les souffrances et pris sur soi toutes les couleurs de la chair vive. Tant de douleur convulsive et de vulnérabilité, mais aussi d'invention charmante, de couleur et d'acrobatie. Bacon ne dit pas "pitié pour les bêtes " mais plutôt tout homme qui souffre est de la viande. La viande est la zone commune de l'homme et de la bête, leur zone d'indiscernabilité, elle est ce "fait ", cet état même où le peintre s'identifie aux objets de son horreur ou de sa compassion. Le peintre est boucher certes, mais il est dans cette boucherie comme dans une église, avec la viande pour Crucifié. C'est seulement dans les boucheries que Bacon est un peintre religieux. ". [...]"
"[...] Pity for meat ! The meat is not a dead flesh, it has kept all the suffering and took on itself all the colors of the flesh alive. Both convulsive pain and vulnerability, but also charming invention, colors and acrobatics. Bacon does not say "pity for beasts" but any man who suffers is some meat. The meat is the common zone of man and beast, their area of indistinguishabilty, it is this "fact", this state where the painter identifies the objects of his horrors and compassions. The painter is butcher, but it is in his butchery as in a church, with the meat for Crucified. It is only in butcher shops that Bacon is a religious painter. [...]"

(...) J’essaie de montrer ce que c’est qu'une "ligne de fuite" en peinture. J’arrive à peu près à la définition du processus. Je prends des exemples.
Je prends par exemple la ligne de certains artistes très classiques, la ligne qui répond à la formule célèbre : "Il ne peignait pas les choses, il peignait entre les choses". La ligne qui passe entre les choses n'est pas la ligne qui cerne les choses, mais la ligne qui les assemble et les sépare à la fois.
Je prends un autre exemple extrême, chez un artiste récent : la ligne dite de Pollock. Ce qu’il y a d’extraordinaire avec cette ligne, c’est qu'elle récuse aussi bien l’abstrait que le représentatif. Qu’y a-t-il de commun entre l’abstrait et le représentatif ? D’une certaine manière, la ligne y est encore une ligne au moins virtuelle de mort.
Qu’est-ce que j’appelle "ligne de mort" ? Une ligne de mort est une ligne qui détermine, qui ferme, qui achève un contour. Alors la vraie différence, elle n'est pas entre abstrait et représentatif, elle est entre la ligne qui ferme un contour et la ligne qui procède autrement. Une ligne qui ferme un contour peut déterminer une figure concrète aussi bien qu'une figure abstraite. Que ce soit de l’abstrait ou du représentatif, il n'y a pas là de différence, vous avez toujours la ligne qui fait contour.
Pourquoi la ligne de Pollock n'est-elle ni abstraite ni concrète ? Parce qu’elle ne forme pas un contour. Comme on le disait à propos d’autres peintres, elle passe "entre" les choses. Elle ne va pas d’un point à un autre, c’est au contraire un point qui va d’une ligne à une autre, ou d’un segment de ligne à un autre segment de ligne, etc.
Je dis que la ligne de Pollock c’est une "ligne de vie", en effet. (...)
(...) I try to show what is a "vanishing line" in painting. I manage to roughly define the process. Let's look at some examples.
For example, I look at the line of some very classical artists, the line that meets the famous: "It does not paint things, he painted between things." The line that passes between things is not the line that turns around things, but the line which separates them and assembles them at once.
Another extreme example, is with a recent artist: the line said as the Pollock's line. What is extraordinary with this line is that it rejects both the abstract as the representative. What is common between abstract and representative ? In a way, the line is still virtually a "line of death".
What I call "line of death" ? A "line of death" is a line that determines, which closes, which is completing a contour. So the real difference, it is not between abstract and representative, it is between the line closing a contour, and the line proceeding otherwise. A line which closes a contour can determine a concrete figure as well as an abstract figure. Whether it is abstract or representative, there is no difference there, you have a line making a contour.
Why Pollock's line is neither abstract nor concrete ? Because it does not form a contour. As we said about other painters, she runs "between" things. It does not go from one point to another, in contrary, it is a point that goes from one line to another, or from a segment of line to another segment of line, etc.
I say that the Pollock's line is a "life line", indeed. (...)

Like many photographers on flickr I look for new ideas to help my creativity. Seeking new creative ideas takes a lot of work and faith the see it come to pass. For work, you have to study other ideas because ideas breed new ideas not to mention the constant struggle to get what you have in your mind out in physical form. Take for example the “For the Love of Music” shot I did (please see the story on what it took to pull it off).
It takes faith to try something new because it goes against the norm of what you’ve done in the past and there is a possibility that the audience (or customers) may not receive this new you with the fan fair of the past. Or the great idea that you have attempted to try fails like mad science project gone bad. But the possibility of reaching a new level and increasing your creative skills out weigh staying in the box.
Creativity = Possibilities
Always remember creative ideas start small like this little hat but they can end up being the best thing in your life you ever done.

Not a lot of $$$$ or time went into the transformation but we had some fun.
Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow. -Kurt Vonnegut

This took, like, 30 minutes to do. I wasn't holding on to Rebecca's hair or anything, I used self-timer to do this. All I did was crop and auto-fix this.
