Photography – Some Art

Light Painting and Photoshop Blog Headers

My experimentations with light painting started in the 1980’s. I popped some color film in my 35mm that usually held the standard black and white bulk loaded rolls from the high school photography class supply. Some pals and I dashed across the state to visit Disney’s MGM Studios, now Disney’s Hollywood Studios, in Orlando. The neon lights on all the retro buildings made for interesting shots.

Those were not the greatest images, but years later, a birthday present helped create this simple image of my daughter.

From a review of “Chris Verene” and the Gailsburg Series

“Verene’s affection and love for his friends and relatives also comes through in some of his pictures, maybe despite, or more likely because of their difficult circumstances and adoption of bizarre culture. It’s his ability to convey both a feeling of warmth for his subjects and a sense of their alienation that makes him a great photographer.” – Christian Perring, Ph.D.
