Pua Umeke (Flower Bowls) Series

flower bowls 120

What is more Hawaiian than a bowl of flowers on the kitchen table? One day we had our hanai child over visiting, and she went picking plumeria from the yard and filled several our stacking color mixing bowls. The result is positively color vibrating at the highest levels imaginable! Dr. Andrew Weil has maintained for some time that having flowers around adds to our health. It may also be that … [Read more...]

73/365 Featured Image

73-365-Making-of-72-365-Gingered_Self-Portrait.m4v Watch on Posterous 73 days into my 365 Project and I'm breaking a few rules and uploading something completely different... If you've been following my 365 Project, you may have noticed that for the month of March I somehow started down a "self-portrait" track. The reviews (comments on Flickr, mostly) have been kind but few in numbers when … [Read more...]

This is my first "done" painting. Started and completed this week while also getting ready for the open studio this weekend.

38/365 – Going to the Well

38/365 - Going to the Well

I'm on Maui this week getting ready for my open studio this weekend (http://rsr.me/mauiopen) and I simply didn't get a 365-specific image taken today. This image was created last week when I was working on the 32/365 image (http://365.shanerobinson.com/32365-something-different). It's quite a bit different than that image but I like it for its simple, rough, complexity. … [Read more...]



34/365 – Another Peek-a-Boo

34/365 - Another Peek-a-Boo

I know... I know... YAPP (Yet Another Palm Photo) but it's all I had time for tonight as I was rushing to get ready to hop to Maui early tomorrow morning. And, this isn't from the beach. It's sunset at our house shot through the palm trees outside our front door. I especially like this particular frond because of it's spots. It's probably not the healthiest frond on the tree but it's beautiful … [Read more...]

32/365 – Something Different

32/365 - Something Different

We shipped one of our vehicles to Maui today. Somewhat ironic that it will live full-time on Maui before we do... I took an iPhone photo of one of the shipping containers with the intention of using it for today's 365. But I was so bored with the image that I threw it into Percolator, then Iris Photo Suite, then iDroste, and finally TiltShift Generator. I'm not sure what the result is, but it's … [Read more...]
