Worn by: Clive Owen as Walter Raleigh
Costume Designer: Alexandra Byrne
Film: Elizabeth: The Golden Age
An Elizabethan man of average means - and Raleigh is as commoner - would, in all probability, possess a single suit of clothes, so production did not have the luxury of outfitting him as they would their courtiers. Byrne explains, "There are lots of contemporary engravings of Raleigh, but the reality is that a gentleman of that time maybe had one suit of clothing - he would have gone to sea in those clothes, where they would have gotten wet, then dried, they would have gotten torn, they would have been repaired. So we worked with the idea that his clothes had gone to sea with him and they had evolved of the the journey... and remember, it was four months there and four monthes back."
The designer worked with Clive Owen on the evolution of the design, assuring him that "the britches would be fine! He was a little alarmed by them. But by the end of production, I think he was quite keen on them, the way they have become a part of him. They give you a certain way of walking and a certain scale. He wears them like no one else!"
Costumes displayed courtesy of Universal Pictures International, celebrating the release of Elizabeth: The Golden Age, only at the movies November 15.
Sometimes I notice the weirdest stuff. I'm pretty sure I can blame Betty Edward's book, "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain." It was required reading for one of the many Art classes I took at the local Community College back in the eighties. I still have that same used book in my '"studio" and maybe once every few years I'll blow the dust off the top and flip through it. Is there an influence like that in your life?
Well, I figured I should get my lazy butt up and upload some photos. There are a bundle sitting on my computer, I just haven't had the motivation. I've been super busy with work, and my life is just sort of a mess right now. I hope to get more posted soon though!
this is from a month ago, but in the sprit of the snow in minneapolis today I thought I'd post it. After all, not everyone is getting full-on spring yet.

Camera was broken. The light meter didn't work, so an external meter was used and the 1/100 shutter speed was selected. Also the viewfinder screen was pushed in so focus was impossible without relying on the split-prism focusing aid!
Nikon FG. My first camera film. Bought 3 days ago and the 1st film is still running. It's great to back on shooting film. Wish me luck...

Kodak 200 consumer grade colour negative film
Developed and scanned by www.meinfilmlab.de
Another found negative from the eBay auction. I'm pretty sure these were taken in Louisiana. This roll of film was awesome! The film was completely brittle and amber colored - I think is was black and white film that got discolored, but I scanned it in as color anyway because I seemed to get better detail.
Holy crap! Tigers!
