Inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat

Now I have to tell you that Jean-Michel Basquiat is not my favourite artist but it's interesting how one can still get a feeling for an artist's approach and find one's own interpretation of their style. I signed up for Creative Jumpstart 2016 to see if I could get inspiration for my iPad photo art even though the examples were all done with paint and paper. 25 multimedia artists give10 minute videos of their intepretation of their chosen famous artist (5 famous artists in all).

I watched all 5 videos covering Basquiat but started with Birgit Koopsen's approach and took it from there. Under normal circumstances I wouldn't have gone on to add the scribbles etc but it was quite cathartic. I'm not mad about the result but as part of the process I did come up with another photo which I prefer which is the second one on this post.

DAY 364 of 365 Day Challenge

The penultimate last day of the year. I will be in Vietnam late tonight and then travelling early from Hanoi to Halong Bay to go on a boat trip so it might be a while before I can post my last day.

LIFE IN SIEM REAP, CAMBODIA 

Today I took this photo of two little girls walking home from school in the hot midday heat. Half the children do school in the morning and the other half do school in the afternoon. The rest of the time they often work. The other photos I have taken on various days of this trip.

In complete contrast to the temples in Siem Reap is the tourist eating area in the town.
