When you start an image, a photograph... Is there a moment that you start to feel the itch in your stomach? The moment that makes you say "That's right! Gonna be beautiful!" ?

When is the, most exciting moment of your art-work?

Quite the contrary to what the question is pointing, mine is the blank page of photoshop. Yes, that excites me the most. Because there's nothing limiting me and i am as excited as my imagination allows me. Samething for photography. The moment that i put my hand on my machine is the most exciting moment for me. Again... Only my under-concious is aware of my possibilities. And all i can feel is the excitement of the conclusion which i still don't know, depending on my imagination.

What is yours?

The point at which it starts to look like the image in my head and I can start filling in all the little details. 8•)

When i'm painting, I love the very beginning when you're mixing the paints. The other day i was re-doing an orange while i was painting a rainbow and i came up with the prettiest shade of it. It's hard for me to finish something i start unless i'm giving it to someone, but i think it's the re-touching and when i see things begin to take shape that i really like the best.

When there's one second left of rendering...I get the "all happy no matter what's going on in my life" feeling LOL :D

When there's a couple minutes left of rendering time ....will it look as great as I hope ? Will it be worse ? Did my image in my head pan out ?

When I touch my camera....I start getting warm and tingley...I begin to sweat...my heartbeat rises...fireworks start going off...pinwheels spin...lightning flashes...rockets fire...clouds vaporize...the sun melts...then I let go of the camera and watch some TV. I would have had a cigarette but I don't smoke.

When the words of my poem start to flow of they're own volition.

So when do we get to hear your poem?

Go here, for some great great prose ... and then some. :o)

p.s. Be nice or I'll review your images. Lauren is still recovering from my last comment driveby. :oP

hehe, yeah. the Poetry thread.

That's it? That doesn't even ryme...rhym...ryhme...rime...you know what I mean. You could have at least said 'head' instead of 'yeah' then it would have rymd...rimed...rhymed...rymed....you know what I mean.

When I'm working with Apophsis sometimes I'll just be frustrated that nothing is coming out the way I want. But then something happens, I run a new script, or start playing around with the triangles and gradients, and then somethiing will pop up that makes me say "Oh wow, this is it, I'm burning this one now!!". I love that feeling!..=)

Slow down Larry or you will get Moe slapped again.

I get really excited when my camera battery gets recharged...then I can take more pitcherz.
