Up and over, by Janey's Journey
The internet is full of happy surprises sometimes. This morning when I woke up I had an email in my inbox from a stranger. The subject line read, “:Love your photos,” and here’s what it said:
Hi, I found your photos by surfing flickr. They’re really
very good. I used some of them for inspiration for
drawings, not to sell, just for the poses. I posted them
on flickr and my blog and linked here to you.I hope you like them as much as I like drawing from your
photos.janey
Gosh. That kind of made of my day, Janey. That such an obviously talented artist would feel inspired by my photographs is just beyond flattering. And looking at what she drew took me back to that moment when I captured those images, but with a new perspective. I caught them, like rubber balls, or frisbees snatched out of the air, but she rendered them over time, with strokes and dots and washes of color on paper. I can’t wait to show Meena when she gets home from school.
