Persimmon - Blog Posts
For this post, I wanted to highlight someone who I've recently been looking up to, and that is: Rowena Tsai!
I get so much encouragement from her posts, and she just seems like a kind, genuine soul.
I find it humbling when Rowena talks about her personal struggles and flaws in her YouTube videos. She provides a positive, gentle take to those issues, along with book/article recommendations and inspiring quotes.
For that, I'm thankful for artists and bloggers who use their own vulnerability and put their narratives out there that I really resonate with.
One of the phrases that she uses the most is, "voice hug!" so I like to think that this is a creative way of giving her a hug!
Thank you @rowenatsai for all that you do 😊
Rotties love expensive dried fruit like hoshigaki too! She deserves since she has been such a good girl about her eye meds. Seeing the doggie opthamologist tomorrow. #rottweiler #Rottie #rottiesofinstagram #hoshigaki #persimmon #DriedPersimmon
Just got my hoshigaki (hand-massaged, dried persimmons) in the mail. The several week process leaves a bloom of sugar from the fruit like a light frost. Jeff Rieger of Penryn Orchard is a one-man wonder! www.PenrynOrchardSpecialties.com. These are large, soft, and sweet. Yum-yum!! #hoshigaki #persimmon #DriedPersimon #japanesefood #japanesesnack
It starts with再見 , a visual comic that was done in collaboration with @hellooitsjanet that I've worked on in my downtime since January.
translation 再見(zai jian)- goodbye/ see you again (i will) 你知道我是誰 (ni zhi dao wo shi sei)- do you know who i am (taunt, i am royalty) Ps: I will open my commisions soon so if you like what i do please consider sharing and getting in touch :)
Experimenting with "Lightpainting" product shots. Shot on a wooden stool in a basement using some flashlights (both LED and regular).
Bgnd (for the beer) an iPad.
red led used on the V8 can (composited 3 shots)
LED light only on the persimmon, and a smooth plastic wall sheet from ikea on the stoool
a bit of post on all.
Bottom photo is the "studio" where they were shot (a basement ;-) and the ‘high-tech' ;-) lighting tools (led flashlight, krypton bulb flashlight, iPad).
Just playing at this point. Still getting the hang of it all.
