[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As I have mentioned a few times already, I have been devoting my time lately to learning 3D modelling and animation skills. I am learning these skills for both the pleasure of learning and the satisfaction inherent in creating. I have never sought expertise in anything. To me learning is an open-ended process. Expertise often […]
To me, creativity is not a character trait but a separate force that each of us has access to. It is like an internal glow that radiates ever outward. How it manifests does not depend on the strength of the glow. Rather it is determined by the filters it passes through. It is those filters […]
I was not sure what I was going to do for today’s post. I often draw a blank until suddenly something flips a switch and I have a post … thought sometimes it might be a day late. Today, I focused on working on a 3D modelling project I started a couple of days ago, […]
I am continuing my exploration of 3D art and animation. I suspect I will be for a while because I am thoroughly enjoying it, it keeps me very busy, and there is a LOT to learn. Here are more of the products of the learning curve. The images are getting more complex, and now I […]
I no longer celebrate many holidays, because I think they have all been ruined by over commercialization. That said, I still am moved to some more traditional modes of celebrating. For instance, on Halloween, I will occasionally have the urge to take a knife to a pumpkin. This was my first real attempt at my […]
I usually don’t do much editing of my photos, beyond some cropping and white balance adjustment. But sometimes I get the urge to play with some photos. Moon shots are one area I often take liberties with, partially because I have a long way to go to mastering the art of TAKING such photos, partially […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]What is art? What does it mean to create? To me they are different parts of speech for the same process. Create is the verb. Art is the creation … the noun. Simply put, creation is expressing our soul in the physical world. Art is the ultimate result. Anyone can create. Therefore everyone is an […]
One of the reasons I took on this journey in the first place was a fundamental disrespect for the society we live in. I find many of our societal priorities completely backwards. If anything, much of what the mainstream considers important actually makes me cringe. I have been told many times that I need to learn […]
Now that I seem to have formally switched from Hiker to Traveller, I have access to more of that pesky technology that I have a love/hate relationship with. Which means I can now bombard people with the millions of pictures I have (and will be) taking. OK, maybe I am exaggerating that number a TINY […]
