Smooth new adventures


Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek



Sooo It's kind of a long story but I will try to keep it short.
I guess my opinion on artistic subjects or artists in general always has been kind of square and black & white.

What do you picture in your mind when thinking about an artist? and what is artistic?
For me I am thinking an artist is someone that use some material to create a piece of work that most wouldn't understand. Then some will do the standard thing and put one hand in support of the head while exclaiming a hmmm as they study it.

yeah I know... But bear with me ;-)

Anywho, with that in mind and once (while browsing through an exhibit of photos) I was asked if I am an artist... First thing that comes to mind... No way.... I take photos, capture nature, moods, portraits and all that. But an artist... come on now!!!

But I guess I am changing a bit on that one. Now I guess I am an artist. Not that I am putting out my work and stuffing my nose in the sky with the "if you don't get it you #$@%#!@" attitude.
But I ventured into a new area for me yesterday (and no I am not camouflaging nudity as artistic... don't get me started on that one). Anyway, getting my project through and viewing the first test photos I got one comment.
"yeah it's kind of cool but what are you going to do with that!!!"

So yeah folks there you have it... I guess now I am an artist ;-)

But on to the subject and mini project. Just keep in mind these are the first I have ever done in this line and I found a few things to improve on. But everything has a first.

Nature photo prints

Interested in buying prints for hanging?
Nature photography is the subject. This includes water, flowers, mountains and so on.
I am trying to get a store front started and have uploaded the first two photos and created a couple of packages.
It's automating the process a bit which is very nice (ie. the best way to get the job done... have someone else do it).

Anyway, my storefront will be at http://udsigt.photoreflect.com and you are more than welcome to stop by.
I still need to iron out some details with shipping packaging and options but it's a start :-)
