Insightful Imagery

Insightful Imagery

Insightful Imagery is a concept i came up with when trying to determine what the purpose of my photography was. I mean in a world full of images what was so different about mine. The goal for me is not to change the world with my images but instead try to show you what is already here. Thus "Revealing Life" came to be the tag line for my brand, "Insightful Imagery.
My photography is the means by which I communicate how amazed and curious I am at the world around me. This need has carried over from my adolescence. As a boy I explored the city. I touched things, I smelled things, I listened and watched. I walked the train tracks flattening my share of pennies. I have come to realize for me the “parts” of something can be more interesting than the “whole”. My photographic style reflects this. Up close and revealing the textures and shapes that make up whatever is in front of my lens. I owned a tattoo shop and have gotten back into my photography and so this channel will reflect this.

    Bud, I know this post is super late and you might not check these. But in case you do, would not be possible to put in the grout, and clean it off from the brick well enough that I could do my texture rolling afterwards? Great video, and I think I am going to try this technique in making some modular gaming walls.

    Should I dilute the paints before hand? The same brand I have (mr.color) offers paint thinners. Would it make it easier to wipe off/have a better look?

  • @InsightfulImagery
    @InsightfulImagery3 ай бұрын

    I’m not sure of that brand if they are water based then just thin them with more water but I wouldn’t thin them because you want the paint that is left behind to be undiluted for best color. This process is easy and no sense in making it complicated dab your paint on then with moist towel lightly wipe away excess easy as it gets. Hope this helps

    The railroad sold off these in bunches. Some were scrapped but many went to equipment brokers. You can still buy some of these from equipment brokers who still have some of these. They banged along at the back of freight trains for decades. Some to this day are still being used for when trains have to make a long backwards move and the crew member has something safe and solid to stand on for an extended distance with the engineer behind him running blind and completely dependent on the employee watching out with a radio in his hand.
