The Crazy Photograph

Walking around as a CG artist changes the way you look at things and observe the world around you. Because you start seeing everything in texture, reference, concept idea format. I see details everywhere and start thinking that would be awesome in a scene. Wow, look at that sky I could use this in a matte painting or an Image plane in Maya. So now I when I walk around the cities, Forrest, country scape’s, and there you will find me taking photos of clouds, rocks, bins, cracks and so forth. But want I find the funniest aspect of this is the people who start look at you like you are a crazy Person. And I guess when you start taking detailed, intimate photos of a bin they have every right to think that, Imaging if they could see just how excited I was about finding that excellent Texture photo for my next project. If they “could” see that, they would probably want to lock me up 🙂

From alleyways to street signs nothing is safe from the camera, One great place I found for Reference are the museums. And because I travel a lot and to many different cities I have made it a mission to visit every museum I can, Not just photo ref but for the educational purchase as well 😉
