Elephant Ear Graphic…09.03.10

Project Echoes 09.03.10

OK, a little late this time, but today is my catch up day. I think sometimes I suffer from having TOO many ideas and not knowing where to start…so once again, I will just START.

This elephant ear plant is in my front yard.  It has been there for quite some time. I have always seen pattern and graphics everywhere, but since I have started this project, it has taken on a whole new meaning for me. That same plant that I have been staring at for quite some time started to look like it was moving…calling me. Continue reading →

The Post Post – 08.20.10

Project : Echoes 3 – (08.20.10)

The third installment in my Project : Echoes project was inspired by a wood support post. I went on a brief photowalk around the grounds of Miller-South Middle School in Akron, OH – the area Performing and Visual Arts school.  There is a really neat sculpture garden in the front yard of the school showcasing student work.  The found metal objects are exhibited on lumber structures and the end cap of one of the supports caught my eye.  The concentric circles of the lumber  created such an intriguing pattern, I decided it would be my inspiration this week.

The Shape of Things – 08.13.10

Project : Echoes 2 (08.13.10)

My second installment in the Echoes project takes me to an image I took of the famed Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.  This amazing building was designed by one of the masters of modern architecture, I.M. Pei. I titled this installment “the Shape of Things”…to me you have to really take notice of the form of things around you. The things that my eyes are drawn to are composition, proportion, and contrast.  Continue reading →

Inspired by the Notion of “Being Inspired” – 08.06.10

Project : Echoes 1 (08.06.10)

My “Project : Echoes” is a self-imposed, “just -for-fun” project that was inspired by “being inspired.” With this project I have paired two creative “loves” of mine – freehand graphics and photography.  Throughout the year, each week, I will post the result of a selected photographic image of an interesting form or texture and the pattern it inspires.
