Floral work featured on About.com

Recently, I was contacted by writer, Jamie McIntosh from About.com for a photo contribution of a Christmas ikebana I made using a clear crystal base. I am so overjoyed (and flattered) to hear from Jamie that a photo of my work would complement her article! : ) I loved the different photos of ikebana forms she included in her article…she includes many inspirational photos to spark the creative juices and provides a clear walk through of the ikebana floral art form. See for yourself…create one for this holiday gathering…enjoy! http://flowers.about.com/od/Flower-Galleries/ss/Ikebana-Arrangements-For-Christmas.htm

Rendering synthetic objects and animations

Aside

Check out some of the upcoming technology in software that’s being developed to realistically add synthetic objects and animations into existing photographs/still scenes. Friendly enough for the average user, but sophisticated enough in realism to pull it off.

We’re not just about floral artistry anymore. These days we tend to be busy with our daily routines, but when time permits we do all sorts of interesting, and some not-so-interesting things, from photography, traveling, tech consulting, gallivanting, culinary indulgence, to being socially awkward butterflies and more. This makes us quite busy indeed, and that leaves us with hardly enough downtime to organize and clean up our messes and aftermaths. Never too busy for a little laughter though. Here’s one for you and a fair warning to remember to keep your archives tidy!
