It is interesting that we (at least I am guilty of) now spend countless hours in our digital tools trying to recreate the very thing we used to work to eliminate -- the scratches, missed registrations, scuffs and other inaccuracies that I am often drawn to. I work this way in part because I have long ago purged my design space of cutting boards, paints, papers, and other graphic tools, in the effort to save space. Re-designating a messy tradition space would be so nice.

I would say combining collage, drawing and painting (by scanning or shooting) with Photoshop and illustrator the richer your art will be. Greg Spalenka ( http://www.spalenka.com/ ) did an incredible demo for one of my extension classes, were he took a portrait, then collaged magazine clippings onto it - painted on it- covered with tape then scanned and did more work in Photoshop. It was a great reminder to get out of the box now and again.Lisa Carneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15950530845991782324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041311169350972839.post-81239619779293615882007-09-10T14:23:00.000-07:002007-09-10T14:23:00.000-07:00Ironically, digital has turned the experience of p...Ironically, digital has turned the experience of photography upside down, opposite to that of the material arts. Where one would take a photo, and wait... a week, or at least a couple of minutes with a Polaroid... now, we see it either one second after pressing the shutter, or, with some cameras, as a continuous live video preview. This has a tremendously liberating effect on the photographer, encouraging much more playing and experimenting... but, maybe, a loss of focus and concentration, which were required in the good ole' days.... I, for one, love it - although digital cameras are a long way from equaling those of the film era, they are improving at a rapid pace.George Simianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15790242422973308858noreply@blogger.com
