    Its getting more difficult to get interesting images given the dark wet cold weather and I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be able to keep this up before my camera freezes up. So far the temperature has been staying close enough to zero that it’s not a problem, but January is just around the corner and that’s when it usually gets colder.

    Plus I need to get out at different times and into different areas. In particular I want to explore the downtown core of canyon like tall buildings to see how that looks. This is the same problem I faced with the Light Signature work – toward the end it was getting mundane because I was shooting while riding the same route so the images were repeating. I need varied scenery to open up the possibilities.

    Blue Horizon – Layered Test, 2014

    Here is the first layered test image of Blue Horizon. I think it’s growing on me. I like it’s glassy nature even if the layer cut outs aren’t quite what I had envisioned. It has potential.

    Began working on a book of images today to use as a leave behind when I meet with galleries. But I’m kind of excited by the possibility of offering it as an ebook for free on my site and also as a hardcover for sale. I spent a good amount of time researching and trying to find a print on demand publisher with decent colour and quality – which not surprisingly was harder than expected.

    Next step is complete the design then make some to see how they actually turn out. Difficult to judge the colour quality without a test at least. Now I’m also excited by the idea of making a book to accompany the Light Signatures work … once it’s complete.

    Speaking of which I’ve kind of started experimenting with production of the Light Signatures images. Ordered some clear film, worked out a process for separating the images into visual elements for printing as individual layers and ran a small print test on the film – which looks pretty good. Next step is to start fiddling with the resin and see how well it transfers the ink pigment from the film so I can build up layers of colour.

    Hope it works. Alternative to this organic manual process would be to 3D print it somehow in clear acrylic – if that even exists. Now that would be very cool.
