It was a wonderful weekend and a good time was had by all. I will miss everyone terribly until we get a chance to meet again. In addition to my journaling and personal art creation I learned a lot from Tracy Moore about Lomo cameras and their vast array of qualities. He knows so much and he seemed to love sharing it all with the group. We went on a walk around Fort Worden and took photos. I had a super-wide lens Lomo camera. He is going to take the film and scan them for me as the photo developer had no clue as to how to print the double-wide exposures. As soon as he sends them to me I will post some of them here.
Teesha Moore had us to do a collage exercize the first morning to warm us up. I normally hate collage but the exercize we completed allowed a lot of freedom and no time for judgement. Here are the QUICK ones that I made during the frenzie. I plan to finish them out a little more and then take them and bind them together some how (maybe using a Japanese accordian fold spine book format, as suggested by my friend Steve from Arizona who also attended?) as a little memorial from the weekend.
Teesha also encourged us to do a study in values. A value is a color that has had either black or white added to it. The strip below is a total of 9 colors that have had either back or white added to them and then painted back into a little square of the same color with yet a different value. It was a lot of fun and it taught me a lot about color.
It was a great experience. And until I get a chance to visit Fort Worden and Port Townsend again, I will have a vast pool of wonderful memories upon which to draw and remember...
