Bottles in the Kitchen

Digital images - Digital Song

Digital Photograph Manipulated Digital PhotographDigital Painting - Dan Beck - 2006

Digital Photograph         Manipulated              Digital Painting

The below lyrics are what these images are all about. They also formed a good backdrop for discussing some of the different kinds of digital art.

The story is a simple one - my housemate opened wine he didn’t like - nor anyone else and left them languishing in the kitchen.  But the night was really wonderful for me and my to become sweetheart  - the bottles have just sat there. 


Bottles in the kitchen
Red wine that was no good
Under cork fermenting
So sweet misunderstood

Chorus-
We didn’t drink them
But they manage to mark the time
They must be there to remind us
Of the day our worlds first intertwined

Bottles in the Kitchen
Sit like soldiers waiting
Asking to be uncorked
So Quietly disarming

Bottles in the kitchen
Half empty and still half full
Labels facing outward
Corked to keep from being spilled

Bottles in the Kitchen
Trophies of a strange sort
Opened the night we realized
Our love had become uncorked

Digital Confusion

Digital Photography, Manipulation, & Painting

Bottles In the Kitchen - Listen to Song

This is the beginning of a series which will cover a wide array of topics.

Through demonstration, I will try to show why there is such confusion surrounding digital art and also focus on a song which is the inspiration for the above photo or vice-versa depending upon how you look at it.

Technology is amazing these days. One can play instruments without knowing how to play and paint without knowing how to paint. Notice what a simple one button filter manipulation does to the above photo.

Bottles in the Kitchen - Manipulated

For those curious, this is a palette knife filter in photoshop - one touch painting - making a mediocre photo look interesting.

Years ago and probably still to this day - you would here people looking at an abstract painting saying "my kid could have done that". People understandably expect a level of expertise from an artist or musician - that is not to say a novice can’t hit something wonderful - but this is the normal expectation.

The only thing special about someone doing something anyone could do - is if that person thought of it first - otherwise - so what.
