Light painting gone rogue

[violusion]

A wise man once wrote "Life is a bubble, and skepticism, a sleep within a sleep." I've been sitting on that sentence for a while. One day I decided to open the new Radiohead album, with the results of my recent experiment with light at hand. When the song True Love Waits came on, it all made sense. Yes life is a bubble. And true love is the force that rises and fights its doom. It's remarkable how natural phenomenon can mirror philosophy; how abstraction can cast concrete shadow; how sounds can be seen. A bubble truly is a moon shaped pool.

Seeing sounds (Light Texture)

One of the many things I love about Pedals is “seeing” the light textures. For a light painting junkie, the only proper metaphor is Christmas. Here is how I visualize the textures in the song Trials. Hear it for yourself, how gorgeous.

Like any witchcraft magic, you have to throw in some wicked ingredients. The red in the rainbow is 3 drops of my blood. (Everything was going wrong for me today except the shoot.) The iridescent blue in the waves & drum beats is real Blue Morpho.

How to summon spooky spirits to Halloween light-painting

(above: My Megz o’lantern this year & source of inspiration ”Let it go”)

On my previous steamdrunk session, I combined jack o’lantern with essential oil burner. I knew steam can dance but had no idea exactly how. When the burning heart of Megz o’lantern let it go with a mixture of Ceylon cinnamon, blue spruce, clary sage & vetiver, staggering magic did happen, so did some seriously trippy nuances O.O

I got so tripped out the last time I did light-painting with a jack o’lantern that I did not dare try again until this year. See my design(Wake me up) and end result below. (To perfectly replicate that moment I suggest you read on in pitch black.) 

And the spook didn’t go away with lights & pep talk on. Below was done in the room next to that jack o’lantern. Geez why did I have to carve a witch in the first place? Be careful what you’re inviting. You do summon your jack o’lantern spirit.
