I've been wondering how to start this blog for a few days now. It's not about anything as such and I'm not really very sure why I'm producing it. I do have more of a desire to write something down than I need somebody to read it.....not that others reading (and hopefully enjoying it) is a bad thing.
Anyway, I think the best approach is to try and let it evolve naturally. With that in mind, I found something very cool in on the The Guardian website today. Artist Michael Bosanko has created a series of light sculptures. This involves setting a camera up on very long exposure and then 'painting' a series of images on the dark background with different coloured torches. None of the images have been photoshopped, they all appear as they were taken.
Here's some of my favourites - Light Graffiti:
A city of lights sitting in an empty landscape
They really captured my imagination when I saw them and I thought it was worth sharing. I like the fact that it lets you photograph something that isn't even there. It's as if you're exposing what might lie just beneath the surface. Very cool stuff.
A quick dig on google reveals loads of light graffiti from a number of different artists. It's worth checking out as some of the stuff is fantastic.
Metacafe has this instructional video if you fancy trying it out:

Not what I thought my first blog post would be but hopefully it was interesting enough. Not sure what'll be up next, I'll see what takes my fancy.
