Sight & Sound - Oriental

These two still lifes - both of them Photoshop manipulations of photos taken this afternoon - were inspired by the Impressionist and post-Impressionist fascination with all things Oriental.



Music: "The Dusk Song of the Fisherman" by the group Ancient Future, from their 1993 CD Asian Fusion. This is a traditional Chinese song (Ching dynasty) arranged for guitar and gu zheng, the Chinese board zither.

    I really thought the top one was a painting at first. Cool.

    Texture and shape become more important than detail. Photography has so many faces.
