Clay bust WIP 2013 about three weeks of work. Going to be hollowing, smoothing and adding the final details soon. I still have to tweak the lips, ears, chin and nose a little bit to make them look more like me, it’s supposed to be a self portrait, but it looks a bit manly right now. I think its the neck… - Chadwick

GORGEOUS OWLS DRAWINGS BY JOHN PUSATERI
(pencil, charcoal, pastel, on archival digital print)
Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, John Pusateri moved to New York in 1997 to study fine arts at Syracuse University where he received his BFA (hons) in 2001. In 2004, Pusateri moved to New Zealand to undertake a Master of Fine Arts degree at the Elam School of Fine Arts, University of Auckland. Pusateri currently teaches in the Department of Architecture at Unitec New Zealand while continuing to make his own artwork. He has exhibited in numerous exhibitions in the USA, Canada, Costa Rica, England, Japan, and New Zealand.
Eight of my favorites reflections, mostly shot in 2011. I feel the series was complete around the end of summer, but I keep on shooting those upside down reflections. I just love it.
They’re all untouched, except the 5th one (but it’s still a very light cropping). I shoot it as I frame it, cropped a lot, they wouldn’t make sense. It’s about seeing the reality the other way round on purpose. It’s not about shooting blind before cropping a lot.
Anyway, it’s fun trying because it’s challenging to frame something upside down while you focus “upside up” - you have to try to see what I mean.
For those who wonder, there’s not much editing in it either, with strong contrast lenses, a bit of saturation, the occasional weirdness of the Leica M8 sensor and you’re good to go.
I post those eight because they work well together. I avoided posting wide and b&w ones for the sake of consistency. May be I’ll post a b&w one soon.
I don’t have a lot of time right now, but I have lots of stuff to post and write about. I was foolish enough to buy a M Monochrom and boy it’s quite a body. Not for everyone, for sure, but quite spectacular, imho. I’ll post a quick hands on and a few pics this week. For those who don’t work this week-end, enjoy. For those who work, like me: courage! :-)
