I don't think anybody likes these photos except me. Well thats just too bad isn't it. Nobody really liked my last school painting either. I'd bought one of those ready-to-go canvases from Walmart. It was packaged in shrink wrap, and i thought it would be fun to paint big stripes of watered down oil paint color right on the plastic. Gravity took over and the paint slowly runs and bleeds and mixes and erodes. I like the idea of just setting something in motion and letting nature take over. I got a C-minus, but its the only painting of mine that i'd like to hang on a wall someplace.
Maybe it is just an excuse for being lazy, but I like the way some things just happen if you watch, if you just let them run. ...better than some of the things that you can attempt to force or mold into place. Not all the time, but definitely sometimes.

Posted by: Young on January 5, 2003 01:52 PMyeah, you're not the only drew who likes these kinds of photos. i just wish i had a better digital camera that would let me do more of this kind of stuff.
Posted by: the other drew on January 6, 2003 08:56 AMyeah it is nice. being able to go completely manual on a digital camera is a nice thing to have. Its funny because the control dial on my Canon digital camera is identical to the one on my 35 mm camera.
