I was going over in my head what I wanted to post in my blog today when it hit me. I looked over to the right and saw my memory card for my camera. Wow!, what a far cry from the old days, I stick this in the computer and there they are. I can edit them, resize them, filter them, and then print them myself. Ten years ago I had to be fussy about what photos I was going to take, after all I only have 24 shots. From there it was off to get them developed hoping that they came out good. Now I can take 96 shots, come home and use, edit, and print what I need including copies if need be. I can only imagine what that would cost me if it were 96 photos on film. The internet for artists is based on the JPEG from a digital camera. I believe that the arts community on the web wouldn't have happened without the ablity for photos to be created and used right away. Please don't get me wrong if you are going to take slides, film is still king with the right lights and setup. Let me hear from you, what has the digital camera done for you and/or how film still works today for you. I'll see you on Friday!

Thank goodness for the digital camera! I can paint all I want but if I want to capture the image and finish later, I just whip out my little camera that I carry everywhere and click of a few shots. and walla! ... something with fresh flowers --- nothing wilted or smelly!!
When I'm driving to work in the early early morning if that sunrise is just too spectacular... out comes the camera! Maybe it will be a good reference for a future painting...
The kids are doing something special... I want to capture that moment for a painting idea later.. Click!!
I was writing in my blog just last week about a demo I recently watched where the artist uses his digital camera near the end of the process to see if he has enough contrast and to experiment with the hues just to make sure that his painting is as good as he wants it to be... It serves as another set of eyes for him as well as a tool that he can use to change contrasts and colors experimentally in order to improve his final painting.
Hoooray for the digital camera!!
