So this is all long overdue but I figured I might as well document it as I begin to settle into whatever I'm doing for the rest of the semester. Back before break, the day before our big blitz crit I had this idea involving glowsticks, prompted by some pictures on my phone I'd taken the night before. At something of a standstill in my painting, I figured why not embark on an impromptu photo project that was somewhat related. Also, my roommates were extremely gung-ho about modeling--volunteering themselves before I even knew I was doing this--so I figured I better jump on the chance.
I ended up taking a series of pictures of them moving in the dark with glowsticks around various joints and parts of their legs. I thought it was really interesting how this connected to some things involving movement and color that I was exploring in my paintings. Unfortunately, due to timing of my class schedule and classes scheduled in the digital lab I was unable to make decent prints of these photos for the critique and had to be content with small prints made on an average color printer. Oh well. It was just sort of for fun anyway, but I think it was a cool experiment and I'm happy I seized the moment and did tried it out.
