We were on a long stretch of deserted road between Chicago and St. Louis and decided to stop, stretch our legs, and play with the camera for a while... nothing really "impressive" came out of it, but it was fun... After we got back, I searched for some of those free online editors and had a blast messing around with these images! (my daughter is very patient with me, although I did get a few of those looks that say, "mom I am SO tired of this")
Connectivity and readymade.
Experimenting, manipulating and combining daily life objects in order to attempt, to force or to mystify a workable connection between them, at least to make it visible and/or possible. This exercise is to be considered as a warm-up, a first step towards a further installation or project.

I layed out 2 layers of merino, then added some pre-felt scraps, silk noil, bamboo, silk hankie, soya fibre, then put strips of plastic from cut-up carrier bags. I added a layer of similar fibres, then 2 more of merino.
When it was almost felted, I snipped wavy lines in the top layers of felt above the strips, and took them out. I felted it a bit more.

Still not got a proper flash so tried to see if I could do anything with the onboard flash, getting better results with the camera set to manual (thanks Stephen). Had been trying in aperture priority but in this kind of situation the background was way too dark or his face was completely washed out or a combination of both.
Experimenting with the snoot attachment to my studio flash kit with Bitterly Ironic (Ant Hickman).
Strobist:
Snoot - Blue filter, camera right.
An experiment that turned out OK for once. I painted the base bead with some tinted Kato sause left over from another project. Then it looked too plain, so I added dots of metalic acrylic paint, and Kato sauced another couple layers over that to make it smooher

In 2012, i did a whole series of reflection shots using a mirror and other reflective material. It was to challenge my creativity - and it was a challenge indeed! This shot was one of my biggest challenges - mostly because the one thing I hate to photograph the most - is myself.
--->Experiments:
For experimentation, sometimes I combine self-composed music with visual art. One composition is set in a satirical tone to depict a phenomenon in which teenagers chase parties and become less inhibited from taking drugs. The F# harmonic minor scale music clip starts out with psychedelic music with futuristic sound effects, which symbolize a charm that the sense of mystery brings. However, it ends with suspicious music with heavy dose of stringed music, which symbolizes depression and loss after coming back to reality and leaving the temporary pleasure. The other composition is about the musical and physical representation of the process of adopting cultural diversity and exchanges of multidisciplinary ideas, a cornerstone of university learning. The beauty, texture, and endless possibilities of a singular color shine much brighter when it is mixed with and contrasted against others. The commingling of colors represents acceptance and bonding of cultural and ideological differences.

It is a piece I created for a fictitious Electro Party at night club after composing the music, which can be commercial background music. The neon lighting and drug at night club give me the idea of using nail polish to create those fluorescent effects that seem attractive and desirable; however, they also cause dizziness and vertigo when getting too bright and strong. The movement of the colors also reminds me of those party people dancing.
2-b)
It is a piece I created for a fictitious Music Festival, where people from all over the world get bonded together by music, and everyone travels to enjoy and share diversity. It was also based on a self-composed music clip, which can also serve as commercial background music.
While making and listening to this music clip, C major makes me feel peaceful and healing. Various colors symbolize people from different places, and the water symbolizes the festival and music itself. The commingling of colors represents acceptance and bonding of cultural and ideological differences.
