life without the APA # 9 ~ for me, yet another Warholian 15-minutes-of-fame event

Rural route # 10 ~ in my nightmares - somewhere in the Adirondack Park • click to embiggenI've been rather busy the past few days, prepping for my video session interview with the local/regional PBS station.

During my recent trip to Montreal, I learned that the station wanted to do a segment on me and my life without the APA pictures for their series on the arts. A big part of my prep - a day and a half worth so far - has been the making of a new picture, with the emphasis on snow / winter, for the life without the APA series.

Since the segment will air during the winter (this month), the producer / host wants to get outdoor footage (in the age of digital video recording, is it still called "footage"?) to establish me, as a picture maker, in the act of making a picture - a winter picture. The producer / host also thought it would be a good idea to have an obviously winter-based life without the APA picture as well. So, as they say, his wish was my command.

The result of my effort is rural route # 10 as seen in this entry. That written, it's not quite finished - there is some cleanup and adjustments still to be made. Then it's print, mount, and frame.

Ain't show biz fun.

Another 4 hours of work and, voila, it's done. FYI, the master file has 20 layers - up to 28 at one point - and is comprised of elements from 12 different pictures.
