Description
Journey to a Star
16" x 24"
Dye transfer
2003
Did a complete 180 on this print from what I originally intended. The original, with very limited detail, was dark and almost resembled the title. It lacked some color, but I thought I would try to push some color back into it.
It's easy to just throw color at something. This was no exception. Used an indian crush color (Bern loves this type of talk) and used the dye.
Nothing special in that process, just used a weird color with different dyes when I made the image.
I love it, and so should you. It's a family walking towards the shrine in Hachinohe, Japan, my favorite city in the world.

This is a wonderful shot. I love how the beam of light from the sun reflects on the water and sand.
Also the sky looks so unreal with those colors ^^

There's a sense of nonfiction bliss here-- of true, human happiness on the Earth, accurately recorded without sentimentality, and all the more appealing for that...

somehow i wish i could see the details within the cloud formations... i guess it concentrates the focus onto the family walking in the waves, but i'd still see the family if the clouds were more defined? beautiful shot by the way

You'd still see the family, but you'd leave and head straight to the sky! At least in my head. Plus I didn't want much focus, it's just the setting, more than details.
