The Kinkade Project


I have often admired Kinkade's work. He is said to be the master of light. his paintings are very realistic, but have a soft warm golden glow about the lights.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I would like to photograph a church, or a house and without a great deal of post-editing, make it glow like a Kinkade painting.
As of yet, I do not have a building, a location or even a time frame. I recently listened to a podcast from an architecture photographer and it was interesting to note that he waits until the opportune time to photograph. Sometimes he waits a year or two for the landscaping to fill in and look mature, or he waits until the leaves are in full color in the autumn, or for just a fresh fallen snow. Taking his cue in hand, I have no real time frame for this, just an idea and I am on the lookout for the suitable location.

Projects

















I've been thinking about some ideas that may help students understand the Bible better. Up to 100 years ago we were agrarian based society. Our modern kids have very little understanding of an agrarian society and little understanding of the parables and Bible stories about agrarian society. With that thought in mind, I would like to combine video (if possible) and stills to illustrate and help our understanding of the parables. I would like to start with the parable of the sower. If our kids can understand the way seeds grow and by where the seeds fell and what happened to them in a real world environment I think that they will understand the parable better. There is a deeper level to the parable the kids today can't grasp, unless they live on a farm.
