The Wall

“I’m woven in a fantasy, I can’t believe the things I see. The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall. And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost” –from The Wall by Kerry Livgren/Steve Walsh of Kansas. I know it’s crazy, but I…… Continue reading The Wall

Passions Collide – Abstract 5

This abstract photography based digital artwork, combines two of my artistic passions - 3D animation and photography. The base color scheme is from a photograph of an old worn out table that had several coats of mismatched paint on it in addition to several glued-on pieces of newsprint and other paper. The color information from that image was used to drive the size, color, and 3D spatial location of each rectangular object. The resulting 3D rendered image was then finished in Photoshop with many color tweaks, contrast adjustments and some other "magical" things. The image is best viewed on a large desktop monitor and is intended to be printed very large. Copyright 2017 Scott Norris Photography scottnorrisphotography.com

Lines on Paper

While trying (and failing) to create some sort of folded/creased sculptures, I happily discovered this composition of crossing lines on one of the discarded pieces of paper. Forgetting my feeble attempts at sculpture, I snapped a few shots of my “creation”. And I have to say, I really like this. It has a kind of minimalist,…… Continue reading Lines on Paper

Fixture – Look Up

“Man cannot aspire if he looked down; if he rise, he must look up” –Samuel Smiles Whenever I am out and about with my camera, I am always looking around. Up, down, left, right, front, behind. You never know what a change in perspective will reveal. That is especially true when inside old public buildings. …… Continue reading Fixture – Look Up

Curved Lines 1

Curved lines in the architecture of the Milwaukee Art Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The artwork in the museum is breathtaking, but the building itself is a work of art. I could spend hours walking around the interior and exterior of the structure and not even look at what is hanging on the walls. This building is…… Continue reading Curved Lines 1

Brainstorm

It’s brainstorm time for new photo ideas and directions. After a full year of my photo a day project, I took a bit of time away from shooting. However, that does not mean I wasn’t creating. Or at least, trying to be creative. Sometimes, when the photographic creative juices are not flowing, I turn…… Continue reading Brainstorm

Dust Off the Clock

“Blow the dust off the clock. Your watches are behind the times. Throw open the heavy curtains which are so dear to you – you do not even suspect that the day has already dawned outside.” –Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Dust Off the Clock, a digital fractal painting. Milwaukee, Wisconsin. November 17, 2016 Looking for art for…… Continue reading Dust Off the Clock

Lite Brite

What happens when you introduce a 2 1/2 year old to a vintage Lite Brite? A joyful couple of hours of total fun. Add to that some really cool (and totally photographable) color abstracts. Introduced by Milton Bradley in 1967, this particular version is circa 1986. Now I just need to watch out for those long…… Continue reading Lite Brite
