NYCat Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 The topic for April is "Little". I guess you know my examples will be of little animals because that is what I do but I'm hoping for all kinds of littleness. Maybe even something microscopic. Little children, of course, but also little things -- buildings, vehicles, furniture -- whatever. I do think insects are really fascinating when you see them up close. So let your mind wander among small things. A limit of three images per person. I'd like them to be on Alamy. The deadline is April 30 at midnight in NYC. I will pick 8 finalists. Here are my little creatures... DT0NGG Bear Cubs barely bigger than gulls. D75C04 Small Lion Cub in a big world. BCC5H7 Rough hands cradling new life. So off you go....

John Richmond Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Oh yeah. Are you familiar with the work of Catherine Chalmers? She raises her insect models. Paulette No. Must look her up. All my insect shots are taken in the wild (well, many of them in my garden). I just provide the environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 She is an artist. I first saw her work at ICP. It was a video called "Safari" about the adventures of a cockroach. You may be able to find it online. I went to an interview with her and she told us that it could be difficult to get her "models" because there are laws about sending insects across state lines. Someone in the "insect underground" had to vouch for her. He knew she was not with the FBI. I think there are some videos of her talking about her work. I think the latest work is of leaf cutter ants in Costa Rica. Very interesting artist. She started with flies because she was interested in choosing a subject that was more or less despised. Those works are fine art black and white photos. Such fun!! Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Woods Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Nice subject. Three from me Two climbers high in the French Alps. Everyone is little there. Our son, born at 5lbs by emergency C-section and put in the ultraviolet bed as he had jaundice. He's now 3, and is 28lbs of mayhem. Spring meltwater in Quebec. This was as close as I dared go with my camera. Even from here I was wet and I only got a few shots that didn't have drops on the lens.

Allan Bell Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 HELP! I have posted images in the past on here but for some reason it does not work just now, or could be senior moment. How do you do it? Feel like a wuss as I used to tell people in the past how to do it. Tried the usual. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
