Playa Artwork

[foxgrrl]

These were my instructions:

Hey Julia;

I just wanted to let you know that we have space for black-and-white photographic of art of people in movement or engaged in spiritual activity at some point or dancing.. etc.

If you would like to show your work on the playa, we just need it printed in canvas with grommet at the corners. You do great art so it would be awesome to include it in the temple this year.

> know someone who can print onto canvas.

Cool. :) Anything ritually, mystical activity like, or dance/movement like. :)

larger sized prints best. :)

even numbers of them would be good..and largish! 3x3 or greater. Yay! it wll be great to have some of your beautiful photographs up there. :)

So this is what I came up with:

22067516674270987687587644319469
I compose everything for the typical 3x4 aspect ratio, so when cropping down to a square I'd have to make some hard decisions, and some photos just did not work right after cropping. (There was no way to recompose them well.) There are also several different ways to crop a photo, and each of them is a unique photo by itself. The small changes in size and position of subject matter within the frame will change the mood dramatically.
There were a lot of other photos I was considering, and working on. But I'm out of time. Here are some examples. [For the record, not all of them.]

2206 and 9469 really stand out to me in a primal, purely emotional/instinctual way and I'm not sure why. But it's in a good way. A primal way.

Good, that was my intent .

Ditto on 9469 (But I have a DNA dancer bias), also 5283++.

When is pick-up? tonight? Tomorrow night? Later?

I'm at work all day tomorrow from 8a to 6p, so if not tonight, it'll be after 6p tomorrow. I can stay up latelate, but I need to know if you're comin'. If you've been replying to the texts or emails I've not seen it, so tryin' here too!

Love the idea that a pic of Sophia is a part of this.

9203 is my favorite in the ones that didn't make it, too. :)
