“love life i suppose” david hockney.
i got to the studio this morning to find an excited atmosphere. work being made for an exhibition in october was to be photographed for print and publicity. little did i expect what was to follow.
i was invited to take photographs, using the adaptive space at the studio and the available equipment. it was ace. i got to play with 3 dimensional objects, with lighting and camera angle and exposure and all that goes with that process. a process that does become very collaborative at the point of saying ‘what do you think’ when there is an image to look at on the back of the camera.
“…i go for a special effect of that day” david hockney.
after the shoot, there were two images that met with the artist’s approval, who subsequently left me an email address and left to pursue another day’s journey. i was happy to have the opportunity to process the two images and prepare them for both print and web usage. i’ve had feedback that the images are very much approved of.
having been in the moment, the present, after lunch were doings connected to past and future.
…”do you have a feeling that it is empty?” david hockney.
“do we know what an empty room looks like?” david hockney.
future plans involve a support plan and development of an idea. i’m pleased to be feeling that i’m able to be in the moment, doing, and also be able to set up potential for my future doing. this is a recent development, of which i am very happy.
something else i’ve been pleased with today is doing connected with a past doing. i made a website for a person who runs a company providing equipment and support for projects. i didn’t realise that when i set up the site it would be so difficult to find a process by which it was possible to document and demonstrate what was possible. today we achieved that, from their initiation and me making a connection. i feel very pleased.
“well…in your head you can go anywhere.” david hockney.
