Everybody's gone cell phone crazy! Whether trying to catch imaginary creatures while ambulatory or blasting mad feathered fowl toward sinister swine, everyone has their head buried in their phone. While I'll admit I have not been enticed to go outside looking for cartoon characters, I do play a fair amount of games. And I do spend quite a bit of time checking email and social media. Is this a bad thing? A better question may be, can this be good? Day 305 of my 365 photo a day project. Copyright 2016 Scott Norris Photography scottnorrisphotography.com
One of the great things about my 365 project, is the necessity to experiment, or riff, on different styles and techniques. To keep the daily image fresh and exciting to both me and the viewer, I have to constantly push out of my comfort zone. Today, I decided to borrow some ideas from Belgian surrealist painter Rene Magritte. His work is crazy, witty, and though-provoking and has always been a favorite of mine. For today, I am using his work "The Pilgrim" as inspiration. I didn't want to copy the entire painting outright, but just riff on the theme, like a jazz musician might approach a standard melody.
With apologies to Pink Floyd, here is just another vent in the wall. Why do simple, minimal scenes fascinate me so? Perhaps I'll never know. Day 303 of my 365 photo a day project. Copyright 2016 Scott Norris Photography scottnorrisphotography.com
