Description

To be closer to believing To be just a breath away On the death of inspiration I would buy back yesterday But there's no crueller illusion There's no sharper coin to pay As I reach out... it slips away. From the opium of custom To the ledges of extremes Don't believe it till you've held it Life is seldom what it seems So lay your head upon the table And in the shuffling of dreams Remember who on earth you are. -Greg Lake
A night or two ago, I can't remember at the moment, I needed a break from writing and turned to my digital muses for relaxation and refreshment. Those of you who know me know that I am ever gazing back nostalgicly to my years working full-time in photography. While gazing so in the wee hours an idea filled my mind to attempt a re-creation of a Cibachrome photographic print. Some of my photographer friends here will know what I'm talking about, for everyone else I will explain a bit. Cibachrome (now called Ilfochrome) was/is a process for producing archival photographic prints from slides. Slides are those things we used to create photographs with before the advent of digital cameras. ;-) In order to produce color prints that will last many years without degradation, Cibachrome utilizes a plastic foundation within the print as opposed to 100% paper. The polymer base locks in the dyes and prevents them from fading. This process also produces a highly accurate rendering of the original slide. There is a distinct look to Cibachrome prints; the image is clear and sharp, the colors are vibrant often leaning towards intense. Because of this distinctive look Cibachrome prints last long in memory as well as in a frame. It was this sharp, vibrant look I was working towards. The eventual result pleases my eyes enough to share it. The model is my sexy Shiloh, hand-crafted within the form of Stephanie4. Together, I hope we have provided a bit of inspiration for you. Hey, it's Friday! :-) May your weekend be creative and enjoyable! With warmth and friendship, Terry

fantastic work Terry, love it. While being a photographer myself I must admit I haven't really tried to recreate an older photo look in my renders too much yet... perhaps soon... however, as hockey season starts and I have to go to every game and take photos ..I may not have time for that...just yet.

Stunning portrait with that white skin touch...and much more...!!!! HE touched me, so I live to know That such a day, permitted so, I groped upon his breast It was a boundless place to me, And silenced, as the awful sea Puts minor streams to rest. And now, I’m different from before, As if I breathed superior air, Or brushed a royal gown; My feet, too, that had wandered so, My gypsy face transfigured now To tenderer renown. (Emily Dicksinson 1830-1886) Wish you already a pleasant weekend bro..... Hug's Ute
