Art Silva Nudes

So! Back in the fall of ‘09 I pretty much put down my camera gear for a while so I could spend my little bit of working income on upgrading my home network gear to Macs, something that I have been wanting to do for a long time and the whole freekin Windows experience (10 years worth) had finally came to a boil and hit my last nerve.

Well now the closet tech geek in me was unleashed, once I received my brand new macbook pro the flood gates opened. The local Apple store has become my candy shop and now I am stuck in this aesthetic and technological vortex where I have to simplify my home workspace/flow with all their amazing products… Then there is the new software updates I need (want!)

…”Hi my name is Art and I am a Mac-aholic”…

The costs have practically kept me from being able to hire models, so on I pressed with this computer adventure.

Well this whole adventure on top of the “day job” is taking up most of my time, has me building new desks, reconfiguring my physical and virtual workspace, buying accessories (nothing that I don’t need though) and basically being preoccupied with my geekness… I have not touched my photoshop [windows] since late November (still trying to exchange my platform license, any tips?) and in the time away from shooting I feel uninspired to pick up my camera.

I really do have a desire to get started on my new artistic nude projects and going back to using medium format film but the energy has not fully manifested my creativity yet.

The last time this happened I ended up not shooing for 10 years but there was a lot more to blame then like dropping out of Brooks after a week with a bad taste in my mouth. I hope my focus gets back on track very soon, I need inspiration more than ever! At least it’s good to know that the art lover in me will always be there to pull me out when it’s time.
