Cubic Disturbance
Here is a fun little game where you advance through levels by detonating various bombs throughout geometric conundrums.
Alex Grey
Transdimensional art is a term that doesn’t get thrown around lightly. It is a term that needs to be analyzed in order to understand the deeper underlying principle behind the art of Alex Grey. Alex Grey is a psychedelic artist of incredible talent and artistic articulation. His interpretation of the surreal and profoundly transcendental nature of perception and reality has been adopted by the psychedelic and artistic community as nothing short of a religious movement.
Alex Grey has an interesting interpretation on life that I think should be explored more, however one only needs to understand one simple concept in order to appreciate his art: there is always more to a person than simply what they look like. Art of this type does more than simply dazzle our corneas with interesting combinations and assortments of geometric patterns or color. It forces us to ask questions that we may not be capable of wording or face issues that we hide from in order to delude ourselves.
Delving into his incredibly thought provoking works I find that the underlying truth of the nature of reality is peeled away one painting at a time until I am finally left face to face with an identity crisis. What the hell am I?
Celestial morning
Sometimes we photographers happen across an image that is just begging to be captured on film – digital or traditional. This was one of those days.
It was early on a Saturday morning a couple of weeks ago. I was just putting some papers away in my office and as I came around the corner here was this perfect beam of light falling along the corner of this candle. Running to get my camera I shot about 15 frames before the sun shifted and then the beam was covered by clouds.
I sat down at my computer to work in the “digital darkroom” (which is so much nicer than the traditional darkroom). I chose the image you see here because of the way the sun was just “kissing” the rim of the candle holder. The glow that was coming off the holder has that magic about it.
The only “work” I did to the photo was to crop and slightly darken the background. This brought out the sunbeam more.
Enjoy – Matt
