Passions Collide – Abstract 5

This abstract photography based digital artwork, combines two of my artistic passions - 3D animation and photography. The base color scheme is from a photograph of an old worn out table that had several coats of mismatched paint on it in addition to several glued-on pieces of newsprint and other paper. The color information from that image was used to drive the size, color, and 3D spatial location of each rectangular object. The resulting 3D rendered image was then finished in Photoshop with many color tweaks, contrast adjustments and some other "magical" things. The image is best viewed on a large desktop monitor and is intended to be printed very large. Copyright 2017 Scott Norris Photography scottnorrisphotography.com

Man in the Mirror

“Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.” –Ernest Holmes This is the view of my desk I see almost everyday. I sit down here to jot down crazy ideas and thoughts, create to-do lists, and sometimes (or a lot of the time!) stare at blank sheets…… Continue reading Man in the Mirror

The three Wausau Red Granite columns stand 22, 26, and 30 feet high and represent those killed in action, POW/MIA(s), and those returned home. There are five granite benches (not pictured)…… Continue reading Wisconsin Vietnam Veterans Memorial

A Show of Hands

A Show of Hands: Day 197

Ok, a show of hands: who thought I would actually get this far in my photo a day project? Anyone? Well, my hand is half raised. I’ve had my doubts that I would finish many times during the journey. Of course, there is a long way to go, but I’m committed! Only 168 days to…… Continue reading A Show of Hands

The All-American Burger

All-American Burger

The All-American burger. A fresh bun. Juicy 100% beef. Look closer. It’s made of plastic. And just so you know, this is not intended as commentary about the state of the fast food industry. Although, I’ll admit, it’s not far off from the way I feel about it. But that is for someone else’s blog. This one is about…… Continue reading The All-American Burger

Hear See Speak

See-Hear-Speak

Here is my take on the old proverb, ” Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.” There are many interpretations of what it actually means, both positive and negative. And what my thoughts are on the phrase is irrelevant. What matters is what you think. Day 143 of my 365 photo-a-day project. To…… Continue reading Hear See Speak
