Thoughts: Back before we bought a house, the idea of a clean slate (aka, a lot of empty wall space) did not thrill me. I am not one to decorate. To say that everywhere we lived before this house was half-assed is being kind. I just never cared. What changed is that I realized I finally had a canvas for my own work, and it was a roomier canvas than ever before. I finally had the room and motivation or right head space to provide for creativity. I have a lot of photos that I wanted to display and I've been playing with different ways of doing that. Canvases, prints, posters, etc. The picture above was created using a series of three shots of Keas that were taken in New Zealand. I wanted to portray a scene without breaking it up into individual spaces on the wall and I wanted it to flow naturally. So, I constructed this image with black siding to give it the film-strip type look with a white outside border and no breaks in between the individual photos . The final product is 16x20, not including frame.
