Crayons, Construction Paper - I'm thinking back-to-school for kindergarten! I wanted gold stars, but they weren't available locally.
Approx 1.5 inches per side.
It's the latest in paper airplane technology. :-)
Crazy Tuesday: "Creased Paper" theme
Our Daily Challenge: "Primary Subject"
HCT
Stacked sheets of colored construction paper fanned. You think you’ve fanned the paper well… until you look at it under a macro lens and see every little imperfection.
For "Macro Mondays" theme of "Green Yellow Squares".
Started making some small yellow and green paper boxes earlier this week only to find that my hands are not as supple as they used to be. I wasn't happy with the results and was about to bin the lot when I dropped a couple onto a piece of my construction paper, looked and wondered!
Thought to add a small glass bottle - opened the drawer and saw 'Chloe'. She is one of Peter Fagan's resin bears made in 1994.
So I popped her into a box only for her to disappear!
Had her out, popped a bit of rubbish into the box, replaced Chloe, and here she is!
The cubes are less than 1 inch
One desk light, my point & shoot camera, one hand-held photo taken, a tad post-processing and this is IT!
All very simple (KISS)
Done in a rush!

A huge congratulations goes out to my eldest brother, Camden, and his girlfriend, Sarah, who got engaged just last weekend! :D
I'm so excited and happy for them both. :]
A make-believe view of a car passing through a small town in the dead of night.
Strobist/technical info:
The street was made from construction paper and the houses are ceramic souvenirs I picked up at a second-hand shop.
The scene was illuminated by two Nikon SB900 speedlights positioned 90° CL/CR, 16-inches above and 30-inches away from the subjects. They were fired in Manual mode @ 1/64 power through Neewer 24" x 24" soft boxes. The oncoming headlights were created by poking two holes in a piece of construction paper and taping it in front of an LED flashlight aimed at the lens and exposed for 1/10 s.
The SB900s were triggered by three PocketWizard Plus X flash triggers.
Lens: Nikkor 18 - 200mm f / 3.5 - 5.6G.

At it's core this is not a complicated photo. It's a stack of colored construction paper, arranged to follow the visible light spectrum. Believe it or not, beyond being a mashing of colored dye and paper pulp, this photo is actually pretty important to me.
In 2009, as a treat to myself, I bought what would become my favorite lens of all time; the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro Lens. While it felt nice to own a premium lens (the first and only one I owned for a very long time), what I loved about this lens wasn't it's construction or its reputation, but instead its ability to explore a side of photography that I hadn't been able to before. I loved getting in close—closer than you can with the naked eye—and seeing what the world around me was hiding.
I only had the lens for a couple years before I had to sell it, and ever since I've missed macro photography considerably. Recently I was able to buy a used, fully manual macro lens (the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO) and I've been messing with it ever since. It lacks the construction and the convenience of the Canon, but it's sharper and even more powerful. For the first time in years I'm able to truly get back to exploring the world through macro photography, and I could not be more thrilled.

I've been working on a series of bright, colorful wallpapers for a while now, and I'm finally ready to share it! You can view and download this, and the other wallpapers from my website: art.katzmatt.com/Wallpapers/
This will be the last photo taken with my tiny Sony digital camera for a while! During the week I was away, my dad bought us a Nikon D60 to share!!!!
I hope all my American Flickr buddies had a great Thanksgiving! I got to eat yams, and any occasion that involves yams is a good occasion. I even got my yam-hating mother to try them after years of yam abstinence (yamstinence?), and what do you know? She now thinks that yams are not half bad after all. Hurray! (My dad still hates them though. Oh well.)
Ahem, anyway. We had such fun decorating our apartment for Halloween (and I should've taken pictures, darnit), so we decided to make some new Thanksgiving stuff, and since I'm generally in charge of holiday decorations in my family, of course I insisted that we make construction paper hand turkeys. ^_^ See the close-ups below for all the great details. (That is, if the pictures appear! Let me know if they don't.)
BTW, I apologize if the images are a bit blurry...the light in our living room is terrible. :^(
Joelynne (SnapYappy) and I decided to try a diptych for the Team Up Thursday group. This week's theme was paper.

I decided to use this theme as a kick in the butt to play with my printer. I find the whole printing thing kind of overwhelming as there are so many things that need to be calibrated to get the colors to come out right (camera, monitor, photoshop, paper), so this was a good exercise for me. I learned a few things and now have most of my favorite shots from this autumn hanging on my wall.
This was a lot of fun. Thank you for suggesting it Joelynne!
EDIT: How fun to find discover this on the Flickr blog! Welcome to anyone who is visiting from there.
I made this two years ago for some digital retard class.
I loved it, minus the text and little girl I threw it in.
So, here it is.
Without any of the dumb stuff.

If it wasn't already clear tonight, I definitely have pasta on the brain. This time, rather than try to capture the odd shapes and patterns of the pasta itself, I decided to go with something a little more meta, and emulate a poster for The Godfather that I quite like.

My husband made these little helmets (~1.25 inch square) out of construction paper before I met him.
I think this phrase originated in a conversation between Jamie & I, about Cadence. It's continued to blossom since then.

As much as photographers are told the best thing they can do is to find a niche, I just find myself drawn back and forth between every genre imaginable. It just feels so limiting to restrict myself to a narrow window of photography, when there are so many interesting things to photograph, from sweeping landscapes, to minuscule macros, to arranged vignettes on a makeshift tabletop studio.
In this case I was shooting for another #Flickr #MacroMonday challenge. This time the theme was "Vibrant Minimalism", so I decided to revisit my good old acrylic paints, this time focusing more on intentional use of color. I paired the teal paint with some orange construction paper, and my smallest paintbrush to put together a simple-yet-vibrant image for the challenge.
Thanks so much for stopping by :)

I took this a while ago but edited it yesterday. I really like how the paper look turned out. I think I'll start editing more photos with the crumpled paper effect.

Be excellent to each other. Yes, it's a quote from a silly movie, but that doesn't mean it's not an important idea.
This is for Pretty Pink Themed Weekend. I was doing some arts and crafts with my daughter and thought that I would create one of my own. She got glitter everywhere! I'm still cleaning it off. :)
More reversed lens experimentation here.

Talk to the dog.
I went out and purchased an apple just to photograph it for the weekly theme, fruit. (it was this or photograph my husband) I placed the apple down on the table and a GINORMOUS mouth of a dog snatched it up and ran off with it!
I gave chase and when I finally DID catch up to him he just sat there grinning at me from pointed ear to pointed ear! As I began to wave my finger in front of his face and scold him, HE SPAT AN APPLE SEED AT ME! The seed hit me in the forehead and it just stuck there, glued by his dog slobber. Dumb founded, all I could do was stand there and stare at him. Then he SPIT ANOTHER APPLE SEED AT ME!
I did the only thing I could think of ... I ran away! The dog gave chase and was right behind me SPITTING APPLE SEEDS at my butt and I swear he was snickering the whole time!
So I went into the closet to Make this apple so the dog couldn't get me.
(Ironic, SCOTUS decides Gays have a constitutional right to marry in the US and I find myself BACK in the closet after 30 years. DoH!)
