Phillip Brooks – 60 Degrees North (tags: iPhone, iphoneography, RPS, Phillip Brooks))

Posted on June 19, 2011 by Guthlac

I have just spent an interesting afternoon listening to a talk by Phillip Brooks talking about his long term project 60 degrees north. During the session I couldn’t help myself but I just had to try out my new app Wordfoto and this is the result. I think it is quite interesting and this shows great promise as another edition to the iPhone armoury. The iPhone 4 really boosts the photographic options although there is still something to be said for the poor quality of the 3G.

Wordphoto

Just started to use the app Wordfoto – a bit silly I know but combined with other apps may well enhance my iphoneography.

FaceTime is more like nostril examination time.

Posted on June 16, 2011 by Guthlac

Been playing around with FaceTime and I have to say I am underwhelmed. I am sure there are many people out there who really like using this but I don’t think I will be one of them. Not sure looking up people’s nostrils is my ideas of holding a meaningful conversation . I’m on line at:

Hipstamatic and Van Gogh

Posted on June 16, 2011 by Guthlac

Day 2 of the iPhone 4 era and I have bought Hipstamatic. I’m still trying to get grips with this product and I’m to.d that you can get extra filter packs but I have still to workout how to do this. Still it does look like a bit of fun. So for Van Gogh. At my final art session at Melton I want to produce a portrait inspired by Van Gogh. This is really hard so I though I would start to practice this before next Monday – this is my first attempt. As you can see I still have a lot of work to do! But it is an intestine challenge.

Spock

Posted on May 31, 2011 by Guthlac

This board just about captures the frustration of being an artist. Some things work out and others are rubbish, well at least in my eyes anyway. The first set are three attempts to make a likeness of the actor Rob Lowe. As ca be seen by my frantic attempts and frustration they didn’t work out. By the way I wasn’t trying to make Rob Lowe look some one off of the Black and White minstrel show but rather I was trying to hide my inability to make a likeness with heavy heavy shadow. As can be seen from the results it didn’t work.

I went out and did a bit of shopping and switched on the wonderful Star Trek movie when I got home. Suddenly I couldn’t do any wrong. Now I have no explanation for this – perhaps the neurons and synaptic connections just needed a change of scenery to reset themselves. What ever the reason I am glad they did what they did.
