Light Play
April 11, 2007 |
[-photography, inspiration-]
by Nancy Waldman
Sunshine! Today’s image comes from Spain and the photographer, using a Russian LOMO camera, is elhombrepez.
This photo of a playground toy is made magical and expressive by the photographer’s composition and use of light and shadows. The LOMO is a small, cheaply-made camera that often gives surprising results with these elements, especially when using cross processing, as was done in this photo.
There are so many ways light can alter our lives and our creativity. From the personal boost of energy that a sunny day can give us, to the inspiration to do a photograph or painting because of seeing a shaft of light on an interesting object, sunlight transforms us. The light from the sun can also be used as an artistic tool - to fade, to color, to age, to make prints on photosensitive paper.
I don’t know what the day is like where you are, but the sun is shining brightly this morning (made even brighter by the snow on the ground), so I’m going to pledge to myself to use this resource today in some creative way. Don’t forget to turn the light on your creative endeavors!
Thanks Manu, for the beautiful lomo!
