Ballybunion Beach and Town

Image
Here are some photos I took in Ballybunion Beach and Town after the awful weather we had at the start of 2014 . The Images were taken on fuji 400 film expired a few years and scanned to disk in an ordinary chemist - they needed a bit of photoshop work to look  any way decent. The last picture was taken in Listowel Square - I saw a story in the Change or lack of it ! 

Digital Beginnings

Image
Here are some examples of digital images created around 2002 just after I bought my first computer - These are not the first raytraced images I ever did, I used to use povray and moray modeler. These images are some of my first explorations with vue d'esprit 3.1 . They look very dated now for sure but as a platform for visualization, computers and software like this is where artwork should be at.   "Fine art" is struggling to impress the public where film and photography can capture and inspire the masses - there are some giants of the artworld that can capture the beauty and simplicity of art,  Jeff Koons and his wonderful metallic balloon pieces. Ron Mueck is also one of these modern artists that demand attentions and respect  from all but for the most part your average art graduate these days , struggles with the concept, communication and visual unity leaving the average viewer somewhat underwhelmed and thinking WTF is this - its not art.
