Enjoy the captures & I hope everyone has a great Halloween!
Here are some Halloween visuals that I captured at "The Blaze." It's a wonderful event that the good folks over at Van Cortlandt Manor throw every year in October, consisting of over 4,000 individually carved pumpkins set up around a big park. Visiting at night and seeing them all lit up is always quite an experience. Shouts to Renee, a family friend who is one of the many people that assist in putting this whole extravaganza together! She even made the Pirate (the 4th picture under this paragraph)!
Enjoy the captures & I hope everyone has a great Halloween! My friend and fellow creative, Dondre Green, has recently become more and more driven - both musically and just creatively in general. In this video we talk about his love for music, what heights he hopes to reach creatively, and the idea behind his new site entitled 'Bowtie Affairs.' He's really just getting started, so press play on the video to find out more and stay tuned to his site to witness his progression. Click HERE to visit his new website, Bowtie Affairs! This is the fourth episode of a series entitled 'Universal Language Originators.' The idea behind the series is that regardless of where you go in the world, there is no denying the impact that music has. It's basically a universal language. EPISODE 1: PHIL ADE EPISODE 2: THEO MARTINS EPISODE 3: ERICK ARC ELLIOTT It's been a little bit since I posted some new drawings. Soon though, all that will change. Prepare for the return of the crew of cartoon characters and possibly a few new faces. So even though mainly videos and photos have been posted as of late, it must be remembered that Imagination Detonation isn't only a site for digital art. Hand drawn visuals on the way.
Some of you who've been following the site/blog for a while may know of Erick already (if not, check this post I did on him a while back). Erick is a great musician hailing from the borough of Brooklyn and a super nice guy. Check the video to see us discuss his first release, his definition of success, the new sound he's trying to achieve, and much more. We had a good, introspective conversation after the video for a while and I have to say - Erick know's what he's doing. Extremely smart dude who is going to be taking it to the next level very soon. Watch out. This is the third episode of a series entitled 'Universal Language Originators.' The idea behind the series is that regardless of where you go in the world, there is no denying the impact that music has. It's basically a universal language.
EPISODE 1: PHIL ADE EPISODE 2: THEO MARTINS There are new photos (life captures) up under Global Excursions and Audio Crafters. Check out some visuals from my journey this summer in London & Paris, as well as some shots I collected of Kidz in the Hall after seeing them perform twice this summer. Oh, and I updated with some new shots the gallery on Erick Arc Elliott.
Enjoy! TONE is a photographer and videographer who was (and still is) a key part in heavily sparking my interest in the field of video. While 13thwitness, Maestro, and him all were huge inspirations in the field; Tone was the one who influenced me more in terms of really telling an individual's story (if it wasn't for him, I'm not sure Boundless Dreams TV would've went the route it's gone - in terms of the focus). The way he was able to capture a certain side of people, a true and honest glimpse into them, was incredible. Time in and time out he does what he sets out to do, capturing a feeling of authenticity. Not only that, he also opened my eyes to how powerful black and white can be in videos. I was telling Tone during our conversation how I feel the combination of the common black and white in addition to the setting of The Loft (his special spot where he films nearly all his videos), really provides a level of comfort and realness that bring his work to another level. Press play to hear him drop more knowledge. This is the second episode of a new series entitled 'Flipping The Lens.' The idea behind the series is to take the folks who are usually behind the camera and turn the lens around on them to see what they're like. EPISODE 1: VINNY PICONE Vinny Picone is a photographer that I constantly see improving and think has great potential. He's one of the main photographic forces behind the powerful and inspirational site known as The Madbury Club. The site provides content that brings the blog form to a new level, almost magazine-esque, yet something you still can't quite define as it's just very different from all the other sites. Vinny keeps the quality consistent and sets the bar for what level the photos should be at in order to be posted. I got the chance to talk with him fairly recently to discuss his start in photography, his feelings on film vs. digital, and The Madbury Club. This is the first episode of a new series entitled 'Flipping The Lens.' The idea behind the series is to take the folks who are usually behind the camera and turn the lens around on them to see what they're like. Two years ago, today, I started Imagination Detonation.
At first, it was just an idea. A way to show family and friends my artwork. Now, it's developed in enormous ways that I surely didn't predict. The recent relaunch is just a prime example of the progression the site has made. Thank you sincerely to everyone who shows support. It means a lot. Much more to come. Expect the unexpected. |
