Ilja Hackman 4 years ago

Yup! You sure did it again, Angela! :)
I just love your imagination and creativity! Classic composition really fits this one and the subject matter is just great! That is what childhood is all about!

I wonder, is this what you do for a living? You´re so god damn good!

Angela Bacon-Kidwell Thank you so much. You are very, very kind. As to your question is this what I do for a living? I just recently -the last year- started working on new work(since the birth of my son in 05) Before that I was in school (5 long years) getting my art degree.
I'm working on getting a consistent, interesting body of work and then I will present myself out there in the non-virtual world. If you know what I mean. Thanks again for the support. Much appreciated.

Ilja Hackman Sure thing Angela!
With your skill and creativity, real people from the non-virtual world will take you in with standing ovation! :)

Angela Bacon-Kidwell Thanks! Much appreciated. I really hope so. :)

SUPERB!!!!! This is so different, Angela....but most of your work has a genuinely unique touch! :)

Angela Bacon-Kidwell Thanks,Emily. I worked so hard this week on images and I finished not one of them- So this was a real treat to do this morning and I had no idea what I was going to get. Sometimes that is the best way to do things, no? Thank you so much!

Daria Endresen 4 years ago

Very nice, Angela!
Interesting and funny to read about the set up, and I should say you got wonderful results.. as always ;))

Angela Bacon-Kidwell It was very funny- The wind was blowing and I was shouting at my 2 year old son, Bleu -to stay still. He did not do as asked, but it made it more interesting. Thanks,Daria

Daria Endresen Oh my, he's only two! :))
That must be heck of a job to make him cooperate! but it's surely lots of fun :)

Angela Bacon-Kidwell Yes, The two's have managed to be very interesting to say the least. I can't wait till he can give me a moody stare and be still at the same time. lol. For now he is only allowed behind the curtain!

Daria Endresen lol :)))

YAY - another winner from you. Well done. I loved it in screening. The silhouette and the different take on the idea is wonderful.

Angela Bacon-Kidwell Thanks, It has been a slow week creatively for me but this morning I decided to have a little fun. Thanks so much!

Anna Lepke 4 years ago

This is wonderful, Angela! Just wonderful.

(I like to read how people work their pictures. Thanks for sharing it with us.)

Angela Bacon-Kidwell Thanks, Anna. Some like to know how and some don't. I don't mind sharing. Happy to hear you like it.

King Douglas 4 years ago

Fabulous! Did you set this up? You mus have, and what a great idea. I guess those are bird cutouts on the line. Do, I don't think this is a straight photo, otherwise the shadows on the "sheet" would be much more diffused. I'll read below to see if you tell all...nope, I guess not.

Anyway, love it, another inspiring photo.
King

Angela Bacon-Kidwell King, Thanks. Well, it was a little set up. I had another idea but my son had his own. The birds are not cut outs they are fake. Single image. I shot through the window- I sprayed the outside of the window with water (on the shadow of the boy) The rest is behind the sheet. The only editing done to this image was I had to draw the beaks on the birds because my son bite them off shortly before we started shooting. lol A very fun morning at the Kidwells today.
