Scott does a lot of paintings using photos for reference. Some artists insist that one should always paint from life. The difference is that in order to render a great painting from a photograph, the artist has to reinterpret the image to reflect how a person really sees it.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00665632105920753931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751271189667675662.post-60046795589948555542008-01-11T14:09:00.000-05:002008-01-11T14:09:00.000-05:00Beautiful photos!

You could use photos you already have or perhaps you do something like Kathy Hoopmann did with All Cats Have Asperger's Syndrome, but with bulldozers. The latter is a more challenging metaphor, but may be doable with some thought. My boys love watching machines at work and would probably love still photography of bulldozers, etc as well. P.S. AS evident of today's post my photography skills aren't so great despite having a photojournalism class. It's hit or miss because of depth perception problems. My photo for today is maybe a four on a scale of ten.

I'm on the board of the Model Asperger Program at Ivymount School http://www.ivymount.org/asperger.html and we would be so thrilled if you could either visit the school or do an evening talk/book event or whatever would suit your schedule. We would do everything we can to fit this as comfortably into your day as possible (pick you up wherever you'd like, etc.) Your book is very much talked about in our community and it would be a huge honor to meet you. We hope you might also be interested to meet our students, who are a really wonderful bunch, and see the work that we're doing at our school. We're very new (this is our second year) and we're very proud of our students and the work they (and we) are doing. Most of our students were having very difficult experiences in other settings before they reached this program. You can reach me at 202 686-0978 or by email at LGreenman@starpower.net. We'd love to host you and hope that if you don't have time for us when you're here later this month that perhaps we could find another time. Thank you so much for considering this invitation. I am the mother of a 12-year-old boy with Aspergers and I've appreciated so much what I learned from your book.

You should consider a coffee table book. I'm sure you have enough shots to put something together already.<BR/><BR/>My son has one of them hanging in his bedroom!
