Series made using fundamental, natural elements. These natural elements and compounds are collected at the site of the picture - usually at the location depicted within the photograph. The depicted scene you see here is created not just by light on film but by melding samples of elements and organic matter from the scene into the film development process where subject and medium are married together, the resulting image created from the scene itself.
Echoing ancient alchemical methodologies, the process of production of the images and their resulting mystical appearance together reflect the ups and downs of the search undertaken by an artist to understand his and more widely, humankind's own, spiritual nature.
No collating or cutting and pasting of external or internal elements into the picture in Photoshop or similar editor has taken place.
Fluid Fabric Project: The East Coast 10 Mile Sprints
Location #3 - 20 Mile Point: Colne Estuary, Brightlingsea, Essex. Seawater, seaweed, sand.
The melt-water from this glacier fills Lago Torre, flows downstream, through Lago Viedma and Lago Argentino, then down the Rio Santa Cruz to the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way, and after it arrives, it is incorporated in the cells and tissues of plants, animals and microbes. Water is, by weight and volume, the dominant constituent of every living thing. It passes through them, evaporates from the surface of lakes, rivers and oceans, condenses in the atmosphere as clouds and returns to the uplands and mountains as rain and snow. At this moment there is nothing that is alive in my line of sight but life is present by implication. We exist with the illusion that we are separate from our physical environment and it's other inhabitants. But the river that sustains us, runs through us, as it runs through everything, on it's way to completing the circle.
A series of figures using every unprinted version of the classic Lego wizard hat. I managed to get ahold of a prototype hat in red, which kind of inspired the rest of them. According to BrickLink one was sold in white at one point, though I've never seen one myself.

Another 100% purist build here actually, just worked out well this time.
i've always wanted to express my appreciation for contemporary dance, their ability to translate light-shadow movements with awe-inspiring grace...
Questa me l'ero dimenticata...ovviamente escono sempre in coppia ma con il passare del tempo vengono divise e abbinate a treni diversi. Questa è una delle due E414 che riveste la livrea pubblicitaria del film d'animazione Disney Pixar "Elemental" si tratta dell' unità 127 che troviamo in coda all' IC 656 Ventimiglia - Milano C.le, in testa c'è la 139 in livrea ICsun, mentre sfila via in uscita da Tortona in una controversa mattinata d'Agosto
The Water Gardens in downtown Fort Worth, Texas is a very cool place and was one of the locations where the 1976 Sci-Fi movie "Logan's Run" was filmed.
It is hard to get a full sense of scale of this place but the orb sort of helps. That orb is a little over 6 feet tall I would guess. :-) While down in the bottom of this "Active Pool", the sound levels were very high and I had to communicate with Cameron as he managed the cameras with, of course, Light signals! ;-) There were a lot of people around during the time we were there and Cameron was approached by a lady who asked us if we were Ghost Hunters! ;-) And I guess, in a way, we are! But only the glowing ones! ;-) I can only imagine what some of the others were thinking as they watched me swing lights around down in this watery pit! ;-) It is almost hard to believe that this is almost a 5 minute exposure shot right in downtown Ft Worth!

A tiny waterfall in the Lyell Fork of the Tuolumne River, Yosemite National Park. I love the edges of the water, that almost look like fractals.
by David UU. Ottawa, Curvd H&z, 1999.
a highly overlooked artist, David's work is unique in its formal contortionism, his rementia given full play into whatever genre(s) would most accurately accommodate it. Elemental Journey is one such prose piece charting the further adventures of "the captain" that has randomly appeared throughout his writing ("don't give up the ship i've got the oars").
David began editing & publishing Fleye Press when he was 17 (i seem to recall something about him sleeping in the back seat of a car in the underground parking at Rochdale College in its early days, the Coach House Press Printing School housed there), was an active editor of GRoNK before he turned 2o, was briefly the Canadian editor for the Italian avantgarde artrag Lotta Poetica, replaced Fleye Press (& its magazine Luv (för pöemz)) with the far more ambitious & wide-ranging Derwyddon Press (& Lodgistiks magazine) in the 197os, then again in the 198os with Silver Birch Press (later MindWare) & The Berkeley Horse, all the while issuing random oddities of his own through a limited few sympathetic publishers through to his suicide in 1994.
besides the poetry, prose, visual & sound poetries & collage works (& publications & exhibitions), he was also, before his agoraphobia set in, involved in the performance of "ritual theatre". with each new identifiable phase of his activities (as signalled by his switches of imprint names), David used to gather up what was left of his previous "errors" & burn the lot, an attempt at history erasure that was only partly successful (Fleye & Derwyddon material is not common in the rare book trade but it's out there still).
this copy of Elemental Journey was about to be sent off to someone but, typically, i reread everything i send off & discovered this one to be unsalvageably misbound. oops. "we stand without a ship like a trail of spit on the face of Gob".
in a private ceremony, this copy is sent on its own elemental journey through the firepit to the compost in the garden beyond, possibly to reäppear later this year in a bowl of borscht:
"ah the vision of a memorial said the captain as the crew laid their table..."

It returns upon us, as it was foretold. Do not try to escape your tragic fate, embrace it, for in the end we are all one with the BLOOE ELEMENTAL.
A digital painting. This was fun to make because I used a mixture of photoshop and painter (since I can't really draw to save my life). I'd love to hear thoughts and opinions on this...:)
don't panic...i actually went out for a sunset shoot tonight. despite the rain. i had to go to this location as it was the only place with shelter nearby :o). a tour bus full of people jumped out and started taking portrait shots into the sun. you can see two of them on the pier.
have a great week and don't work too hard :o)

As always a good dose of attempted magic.
I have always been entranced by the lines of growth in nature.
This one's 8 layers with modes and masks.

(Oh boy. This looks really dark on Flickr, at least for me. Click the link below to dim the lights.)
From the archive. Newly seen.
I have so much color that I need to be uploading, but I keep finding myself going back to my roots. Tomorrow there will be color.
This is Bountiful Lake, better known as the Bountiful pond. The sign says lake, but I don't believe it. I love the sunset views in Bountiful, and this day was no different. The clouds gather strength as they move south over The Great Salt Lake. Bountiful is located on the southern end of the lake, so the clouds have had ample time to create their amazingness.
This is a panorama consisting of two three exposure HDRs, stitched in PS CS3. It did look pretty cool in color, but I like it this way a bit more.

"Elemental" is a reference to another Loreena McKennitt link. If you have an extra 10 minutes, watch The Highwayman. The bodhran is one of my favorite instruments. I have no idea why.

My friend came by today and taught me some new PS stuff. I have so much to learn!

Another from the summer 2012 archives in the face of all this gross cold snow and we are having in Calgary, this is actually one of the first photos I ever took with my 60D, an experiment in long exposure with beautiful stream water lit by wonderful sunlight flowing around a rock and a dandelion piece that was sticking out of the water.
I like how dreamy and magical the water looked around the piece of flower and rock!
Hope you are all having a great Monday so far!
Part of the D&D monsters collection I built back in 2006.
These are "elementals" (water, fire, air and earth) and their designs are modeled directly on the artwork from the 1st Edition "Monster Manual", every page of which is burned into my memory!
As you can see, the work is fairly crude, due to a lack of skills and bricks back then!
