A few more river views

Gone to the movies

I have decided to take a few weeks to create short movies.  It has been years since I did this.

Check back in a week.  I don't know if I can post them on this site.

My first movie will be this river.

Time for warm blankets and comfort food

Sensuous oranges and fungi

We had whiffs of snow in the area.

I was reviewing some of the warmer colour images.  Fending off the brr of crisp icy blankets.

Two guys talking

The streets surrounding the art gallery are rich in cultural tapestry.  You can see people hanging around, shopping, eating, drinking, chatting.

This is a street shot of two guys talking, right at home, in the busy street scape of humanity.

This Frank Gehry thing...is it New Baroque?

 

 

New Baroque images from a nearby cafe

Since I have embraaced the New Baroque without reservation, I have been liberated.  For years I made images for other people.  I thought I wanted to be an artist or I wanted to sell to galleries or I wanted to do well in art shows or or or.....

Now I don't really give a rat's ass if people don't like my stuff. I work for myself.  I make images that I like.

I don't care if they are passe, break all the rules, aren't like ansel adams or look too much like julia margaret cameron.  I just don't give a shit if people aren't pleased.

So I make images I like.. If they are shit, I don't care.

I like to think I am free at last.

It suddenly donned on me.  I think Frank Gehry may be creating in the spirit of a new baroque.  He may be it's leader.  Damn!

Frank Gehry is a genius of course, but it still works

 

 

 

 

Well yes.  Gehry doesn't need my endorsement, a humble blogger on an obscure site.

I have seen the public television programs on Bilbao and the Gerhy Guggenheim art museum there.  I was mightily impressed.

But the local gallery revised by Gehry was my first experience in a Gerhy space. It is just too spectacular for words, I'm afraid.

However, I have attempted to convey a little of the magic in pictures.
