It's Been Forever.

            This is your Captain, it's been forever since I've posted a Blog Update. . . Unfortunately, I've been focusing on Searching & Gaining Employment Opportuunites and Putting Effort into my Canvas Paintings, so future Buyers and Gallery Owners would Purchase my  work or set them in a Gallery, once again more Happy Mistakes. Now i'm facing issue with my HP Pavilion Tower where I edit my work with Photoshop Premiere. Unfortunately I've made a little mistake by turning it off while loading. Now Microsoft Edge is gone along with my screensaver of Liquitex Paint, trying to delete some of the stuff (Photos & Videos), but Chrome, AVG Browser & Firefox automatically closes &Webroot Pop-Ups & Scans every 5 Minutes. I've written everything that's going down with my desktop and need to be taken to Geek Squad soon enough. So I won't posting my work, as well as Downloading or Saving for a while, until things are figured out and this ordeal is nipped in the bud. But I will be taking photographs on my Phone. I Apologize for being gone on the blog for a long, i'm very sorry. I promise i'll return with new post with edited Camera Still & Canvas-Art real soon. . . Thank you and God Bless.

November to Remember

    Hey there, Bloggers and Happy Veteran's Day. Today is a day where we give a big shout-out to those Veteran's(My Father is a Veteran Himself.) who put their lives on the line to fight for this country. Here's one of the stills I took back in the Mexican-Town version of Detroit. More will be coming soon.

Production Experimentals

    Back with more experimentals, from the Production part that is. The times i've spent with the Rogue Bard Media crew were fun at times, if only I could relive and go back to times, however what's done is done and I can't go back to that, even with the mistakes I made. And the photograph of me taking a photo of Wynter. Although the photo was taken by Mr. Fyl Frazee of Rogue Bard Media. All 3 of these were photoshopped by yours truly, due to my experimental and creative genius. 1st two are painted with Paint Daubs and Accented Strokes and the 3rd and final is poster-like. More Experimentals coming soon. For more info on Rogue Bard Media LLC, visit their website at RogueBardMedia.com

Rocko Experimentals

  Here some Experimentals of the one and only, Rocko. Thanks to the Wonderful world of Photoshop(CS5 Edition). the 1st is more Underpainting and the 2nd is Accented Strokes. All Pugs have the face everyone could love. More Experimentals coming soon.

Hello Detroit(Experimental Edition)

      Back with more experimenals and now I'm listening to Sammy Davis Jr. singing hello Detroit and adding these 2 experimentals of Downtown Detroit, thanks to the Paint Daubs and Accented Strokes tools from the Artistic Section of CS5 Photoshop. Soon, it'll be the Rencen, Greektown, Belle Isle and etc. (Day and Night actually). More coming soon.

Hines Park Experimentals

     Here's some Experimentals from the infamous Hines Park. The 1st was photoshopped by the Colored Pencil tool into artistic mode and the 2nd with the Geese is either photoshopped by the Watermelon tool or some unknown tool, uh I don't know. More experimentals coming soon.

Experimentals

    The Captain has returned from a long hiatus from the Lent, I know it ends on Easter, but I felt I ahd to take a monthly break from the blog do to some Photoshop work by using the Artistic mode with extra stills i've photoshopped from this year and the last few years. I start off with the photoshopped extras from the 2015 North American International Auto-Show from this past winter. 1st is more poster-like due to using the poster tool. Next is the Audi which is more painted either watercolored or one of the strokes. Finally, the Plug-in Hybrid is as if someone drew it by way of Colored Pencil, it 's too light, but i've leveled down the white in order to make look even real, but hey, what's done is done. More Experimentals coming soon.

Last Post of 2014

      Well, this is the last post of the year 2014. 2015 is 24 hours away and there were times that things didn't go as I planned, but this time it will happen in the years to come. Any-who, this final post is that of a Behind the Scene photo of Deathwatch star, Jessica Gush getting make up done by Natalie Angelucci. Deathwatch was directed and produced by Fyl Frazee of Rogue Bard Media LLC and staring the students of the William D. Ford Career Tech Center(including me). There were some faults(mostly Natalie and Me), but we all learn from our mistakes and we will continue to learn from them. More post coming soon in 2015.

Blast from the Past - Deathwatch. . . Again.

    I'm back and I've done some digging into my past and found stills of the Rogue Bard feature, Deathwatch which we did back in the William D. Ford years. Where students of the William D. Ford Career Tech Center, I was one of them, whom was boosting his photography, teaming up with Rogue Bard Media LLC. 1st is Jimmy(Don Dryuor) on the Microphone from the Radio Station, then both Jimmy and Marty being interviewed by the radio D.J (forgot the name but was played by Kamal Smith). These guys along with other students, including me did a great job with the acting, with getting the lines right and I did a great job with another photographer with the stills. Wish we had a reunion looking back on this and me and the bards put our issues in the past. Anywho, check out Kamal Smith on Because We're Men every sunday at 5:00pm on MyTV-20 Detroit, and if you want more the bards go to their webpage at www.RogueBardMedia.com. More post coming soon.

November to Remember/Mind in the Clouds

 The Captain is back with stills I haven't posted yet, but I promised to post more until my website is ready.

So far my head has been in the clouds as of late and these three stills are the proof of it. Now, my mind is back where it belongs at the task at hand. I posted on FaceBook that I would make a promise that this would be a November to Remember.

Personal Website Coming Soon.

   The Captain has returned and announcing that i've decided to put together my very own personal website. it may be difficult, but I have know doubt it will bare fruit. I'll posting my Photography on this future site along with some Painting Projects to go as well. I'll still post some stuff on this blog, but in the meantime, i'm going to put this site together, so enjoy.

2013: The Year in Review - Part #2

   Here's more of the 2013 Review from the Spring and Summer time. A Beautiful plant craves rain, Phil getting the Camera in the Car Wash and Fireworks unleashed. More of 2013: the year in review coming soon.

2013: The Year in Review - Part #1

 

 

  2013 has been pretty wild, but regrettingly disappointing, these stills tell a different story.

January, myself and the Rogue Bard crew did  production of Can't Get No Play, which was awesome. Next was the Portrait Photoshoot of the Producer of Rogue Bard Media, Mr. Phil Frazze which wasn't too shabby. However, on October 6th 2013, me and Phil had a heated argument on FaceBook, I ruined a day of production for him and I didn't even had the right to take responsiblity, wish I could, but couldn't. I blew it and was full of it. For that, I blamed and lost one of my best friends for false reasons.

I asked myself "What have I done ?" This isn't the 1st time I made mistakes and they won't be the last. Enough of the negatives, on to the Positives, next was the Spring where this Pinkish, Violet Blossom tree made decent results, more of 2013 in review continues, enjoy.

Part #2 of Lightfest 2013

     Part #2 of the Lightfest, enjoy.
