1. When the light is right, it’s time. That could mean strong shadows at high noon, or late afternoon sun creating graphic shadows, or in shady low-contrast light to capture fine details.
2. When the color pops, it’s time. That means isolating a bold color from the neutral tones around it.
3. When the details are hidden, it’s time. Oh they’re there, all right, you just have to take time to smell the roses. Or in this case, get off your bike to look closely at the poppies.
As a creative professional, I find my ideas in exploring and recording life's details—as I've done in writing my Dust series historical novel, Unspoken, and its predecessor, A Habit of Hiding. My photography focus is the scenic gumbo that is my Vanishing Austin series, and the many other thematic photography collections I've created. In my paintings, I capture the colors of the American southwest and Mexico. For my blog on creativity, Pairings, I explore art, writing, and photography in Texas and beyond, and sometimes indulge in time travel. I bring it together at JannAlexander.com, where my writing and art meets tech.
What do you think of the details in my new novel?
A wonderful collection of details, I like the colour pop:)
I appreciate that, thank you for stopping by and saying so! Looking over your stunning photos, I see why you like the color pop. 😀
Eclectic mix of talent! Curious minds ask. Are you making any money?
