Look at me! http://laraineweschler.com/blog/2010/06/11/new-site-new-begining-aka-look-at-me-look-at-me/ http://laraineweschler.com/blog/2010/06/11/new-site-new-begining-aka-look-at-me-look-at-me/#comments Fri, 11 Jun 2010 01:12:26 +0000 laraine http://laraineweschler.com/blog/?p=132 My new website is up! I’m super excited to have a new face on the web and a new beginning for photographic meanderings. Better website = better photos, right? I think so. I hope you do too.

My favorite cousin,  Gally Articola, did a stellar job making my vision come to life because she is so much more awesomer than I am at all that html stuff. Two semesters of web design and all I’ve accomplished is to appreciate the frustration of coding on a deeper level. Besides being a great web designer, Gally is an amazing artist. If you ever need a sequential artist, illustrator, or colorist, drop her a line. Seriously. She’s awesome. You can check her work out at her website www.beezooka.com and at your local comic book store. She’s restoring old Marvel comics for their encyclopedia, kind of like I do for old photographs.

Everyone come look at my beautiful photographs and their beautiful new home!

This is also a test to link this blog to my Facebook page, so let’s see if it works. I’m sorry if anything strange happens.

The wedding was beautiful and everyone got dressed up for the occasion. Here’s a preview from the hair dresser’s.

For reasons I can not explain, WordPress hates me and didn’t want to let me login. It kept trying to tell me that my username, password, and email didn’t exist, while at the same time emailing me every day just to taunt me.  Today, WordPress had a change of heart and let me login with the very information whose existence it didn’t acknowledge just last week. I hope this temporary truce will lead to meaningful negotiations and eventual reconciliation and peace.

Contrary to what you may believe from the neglected and somewhat dilapidated nature of my blog in the past few months, I have been very busy with work, photographing, and a vibrant social life. … Oh wait, nix the last one. In the next few posts, I’ll share with you some of what I’ve been doing.

Every screen displays colors differently and every printer prints them differently. A hue that seems a neutral tan on one surface is suddenly bright yellow on another. It is rare to find a monitor and printer that are perfectly calibrated. Even at the professional photo lab where I work, where we check and measure the colors daily, the correlation is not perfect. I always have to make a mental adjustment when switching from one monitor/printer to another.

When I capture an image, I want everyone to see what I see. I’m recording my vision to share with the world. But nobody will ever see as I do, even when my vision is bared before you, stretched out on a canvas like a flayed animal. Look at the walls around you. The same paint on the wall in front of you looks like a completely different color that the wall next to you. I can’t control everything. Perhaps that’s part of the beauty of it.
