A short hiatus...

Hello, gang...

Just wanted to let you know I am having some very minor surgery on Monday. It is an outpatient procedure, no big deal at all and nothing to worry about, but I will take a couple of days off to recuperate.

So, check back at the end of the the week... I'll be back on track by then!Source URL: https://lifestyleartsblogs.blogspot.com/2007/09/

HOOKED BEAR (1956)

Is it possible to be a cartoon star and obscure at the same time? The answer is yes, if your name is "Humphrey The Bear!" These re-created pan B/Gs are striking and fun. BTW, in the second, that's Ranger Woodlore's boat headed into the scene. Is your fishing license up to date??!!!Source URL: https://lifestyleartsblogs.blogspot.com/2007/09/

MICKEY DOWN UNDER part two

These recreated backgrounds are fascinating to me, as they show how very different the B/G art varies in one film. scene to scene. The first is quite simple. The second (pan) B/G is more elaborate. And the last falls in between; I particularly like the palm tree horizon which predates similar JUNGLE BOOK art by two decades!Source URL: https://lifestyleartsblogs.blogspot.com/2007/09/

This is Becky and Jason. I had the pleasure of photographing their engagement session in the beginning of September. We had to hurry to get the location shots done before the storm rolled in. I can't wait to kick off the 2008 season with their wedding next spring!

Sarah's Shoes

On Saturday I photographed the wedding of Sarah and David at The Old Mill in Aldermaston. A lovely sunny September day allowed the couple and their guests to make the most of the lovely location by the river.

Here's Sarah's shoes and as ever their full wedding story will follow shortly.Source URL: https://lifestyleartsblogs.blogspot.com/2007/09/

Keshana & Sujeevan Celebration

Keshana & Sujeevan were already married a month earlier but I was asked to photograph the lavish celebratory party at The Hilton International in Croydon on the 25th August. In essence a very large reception but without the ceremony this was an opportunity for friends and family to come together and celebrate their Hindu wedding and new found married status.

A very colourful, loud and entertaining evening ensued with a beautiful bride and groom enjoying every second and photo opportunities at every turn.


The jewellery goes on

Your Comments are so Important!

Hello all!

I thought it might be appropriate to let you know how important your comments are to me! Digitally re-creating these backgrounds is a labor of love. Animation is my passion (outside my career in music).

So, please, when you stop by and have a look, leave a comment. Short or detailed, your response lets me know you've stopped by!

To be really honest, it's a bit disappointing when days go by without a word from anyone!

So, write something, already! You can share information about the films and the artists, request backgrounds from particular films, or just say hello.

I appreciate your support and looking forward to hearing from you!Source URL: https://lifestyleartsblogs.blogspot.com/2007/09/

Irene, I cannot THANK YOU enough!!!
I LOVE everything :)

My inks were specially happy today & posed for the camera :)



New fabric I bought on my vacation.
Oh! the possibilities!

My Blog: Update on life

Well hello there...Well a week or two before school started was amazingly crazy fun! I spent most of my time with chelsae and shawnae and we have been pretty much inseperable since then. Well I have successfully survived my first 8 days of high school. It has been really crazy and fun and everything. I have been really busy with Soccer too and we have only won 1 game but I am really having fun with it! I just signed up for band which is yet another commitement I have: playing the tenor saxaphone. WE get to go to California for seven days at the end of the year and I am soooo excited for that! This weekend I got to go to Idaho Falls and visit my family and we went to Texas Roadhouse and then I got to hang out with Taneil. It was pretty fun. As we were headed home we went to the Eastern Idaho state fair for a few hours and I saw a lot of old friends there. Its so weird seeing people that you haven't seen forever. Its like kind of sad though..that you haven't stayed in touch with them.I really hope that its not as awkward like that when I see my friends from Idaho Falls ten years from now! Well I have made a lot of new friends at Burley High school and I have lots of ambitions for this next year. I really hope this year turns out great. I am just going to have fun and be retarded. We don't really care what people think. Just having fun is the most important thing to me right now. Also my grades, I need to get good grades and so far its been really easy for me. I have lots of friends and upperclassmen to help me with homework and we are doing study groups and what not. Also a nice thing about high school is we have an AB schedule. We have 4 classes a day and the classes last about 90 minutes. This 90 minutes gives us a chance to get homework done and what not. We have 4 different classes every other day. So I like it because you don't have the same class every day so if at all possible you don't have homework every single night you always get an extra day to do it. yeah! Ok and then also you think I'm crazy but I want to get more involved and do more clubs and stuff. Do as much stuff as I can! When I was in junior high I never did anything it seems like..I wish I would have because it is sooo good for you. Well the next few weeks I am going to spend my time busy at practices and what not so I probably won't have any time to write a blog! HONESTLY...Tomorrow is labor day! YAY I don't know what its significance is but it pretty much rocks because we don't have to go to school. Okay well until next time LOVE YA!!!!!Alli
