SoFoBoMo day-6

SoFoBoMo day 6 - a bit of expansion.

JuiseI'd started out the SoFoBoMo project creating a profile of just 2 Bangladeshi artists - Zeba & Juise.  I'm now expanding it to include a few other artists as well. Rokeya Sultana, a Bangladeshi artist; and 2 an Indian artists living in Bangladesh: Ujwala Prabhu and  Smita Srivastava, all just said yes they would be happy to be featured. GREAT! I am waiting confirmation from a couple of other artists..... hopefully they too will consent. With the addition and expansion, time required to complete this SoFoBoMo is shrinking! I have only until May 20th to get it all done. The actual shooting is the easy part, the final editing and selecting of images; the post-processing and then the formatting of the Scribus book etc takes up a lot of time.

SoFoBoMo day-2

Juise 6Juise was painting up the 2 massive «muppets» made of paper, cloth, foam and various other materials.... they are really big. One is around 7 feet tall.... the colors were fantastic - yellows and greens. The articulated limbs are incredible! They work by pulling on strings and each joint works separately... images follow asap.

Got some great images.

BUT, my PC crashed just after I'd finished processing the batch and was going to start uploading them to the server. A stupid mistake actually, I should have seen it faster when a virus on a flash-drive autoloaded and I clicked «OK» instead of «Exit»....seems that the HDD is wiped clean and the operating system cannot load. Oh well.....

Am working on a dinosaur of a desktop now - the monitor is uncalibrated and the processor is so bloody slow that I gave up after trying to process these 2 images...I cannot even tell if the contrast etc is ok! Will have to do for now, until I get the other PC back working again.

The links are on the LOG page, as usual.

............... bye for now.
