Update

I have been working on my photography skills lately. I have also been considering that I need to make my kscopes out of items that people are passionate about not just buildings and landmarks. These are my favorites but you can't market a kscope about a local building like you could a car kscope or a kscope on say a piece of music paraphenelia. So I am rethinking what to make kscopes on. It really is all about marketing.
If anyone would have told me that an artist must be an accountant, marketer, advertising agent, promoter and creative consultant I would have laughed in their face but now I realize that being an artist and trying to promote your work is LOT of work. Creating art just for the sake of your own pleasure and not sharing it with anyone else might not be such a bad thing. But what is the point of creating your art if not to share it with everyone.
It almost takes the fun out of it. ALMOST when you are passionate about your artwork it takes that edge off of it.
The latest skill I have worked on was strobe flash photography and light painting. Oh my gosh how fun! I took pictures of a balloon popping with the action stopped midair, it is very exciting. Fill a balloon with water, pop the balloon and stop it midaction and you get the most amazing pictures! I will post samples of these later after I have had a chance to sort these out.
