A few of you may have already seen this ---> and I have been meaning to update it, but you know how that goes. Since I am a bit new 'round these parts I thought I'd share this slideshow about "Who I Am" as an artist.

This is a slideshow about me, as a photographer. As a person. I didn't choose my "best" images to tell my story, but chose the images I am closest too. All images of children - many my son. And all the words are my own.

Oh, those w/ MAC can't view this I believe .... and it's a big slideshow so dialuppers beware. ...And I've heard from a few people the text slides can get funky too sometimes.

The music ...is available for license by Shaun Paul - my clients go NUTS over this music (I don't use this particular song, it's a bit too somber, but I do use a few others)! Well worth the price. The website is at the end of the slideshow - email him from there for pricing and what not.
Please tell him Skye sent ya!

Woa! That is lovely. I too LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Shaun Paul. Listening to his music is like having a "Calgon" moment. Thaks for sharing.

Laurie

Absolutely beautiful.

We did miss you last night Skye! We were looking forward to meeting you. Hopefully next time. And I am on a Mac, so I can't view it. I will have to pull out the dusty old Dell Latitude and check it out!

Skye,

Beautiful.

Wow Skye, that is excellent.

okay, i just got goosebumps watching it . . . awesome work, awesome video . . . did you do it yourself? Wow . . .

I couldn't view the show, but I've been to your site and it's outstanding!

Thanks everyone!

Yes, I did it myself.


Sorry Robin and David .... I couldn't find a sitter for my son at the last minute. Wanted to get together though!!

Skye

Wow,
Skye that was beautiful and soul stirring, you have grown so much since I first saw your work on ILP a few years ago but it was obvious you had enormous talent even then!!!
I cant wait to see more of your work on OSP.

Amazing show and words. I've liked your work for quite some time and I'm happy to see you sharing here..

welcome!

Nice pictures, but exes are not a good way to distribute slideshows. For one it leaves out Mac people - but the most important reason is that people should never run exes unless they absolutely trust the source. We don't know that the machine you created this on isn't infected. And it would be easy for someone to just rename a trojan to "whoiam.exe" and distribute it.

And actually - even if it's fine when you send it out, it can get infected on someone else's machine, and if they e-mail it, you'll end up with the blame anyway.

I'd really look at something like ProShow Gold. Hi-res - even full-screen - slideshows.

Skye... Beautiful.

Thanks for sharing!

daaaaaaang girl thats A W E S O M E


LOVE YOUR WORK

Man, no love for the Mac?



Cheers,
Zack

Thanks everyone.

I should mention that is all film ... the slideshow was done September 2005 and I got my digi April 2006.

I know, I know, I need to learn a new slideshow program .... I guess I just hate change, lol.

Skye

Skye, I got to view it at work, on a dell. WOW!!!! I love iit!! Your work is beautiful!!
Thank's so much for sharing!
Candy

very nicely done!
thanks for sharing

Very nicely done! I love the images and the text... incredible.

Wow I am so impressed!! Beautiful work with putting images, text and music to weave together seamlessly. All the images and fantastic, but I've gotta say that one with the little girl in the white dress (where you talk about light) is adorable!! Awww!! So cute!!

That was beautiful. You should be proud of yourself!

-Mark

Wow.. just incredible.

Thats all i can say.

O.K. ....this made me cry....but in the best possible way! It seems now I'm a Mum my emotions run so very deeply, theres' just no turning back....no way to 'turn them down'. I guess I wouldn't want to anyway. It's weird though, that truly beautiful things just make me weep!

Beautiful Skye, just beautiful. I especially loved your line about an image leaving you 'breathless'...and wanting that same feeling again and again. You might have warned all especially 'soppy' OSP members that viewing would require a PC, AND a box of tissues!


Annie

Thanks!!

lol, Annie ..sorry about that.

Wow Skye! I remember you from another forum... way back when! I loved your stuff then and I love it even more now. You have left me breathless and inspired, both! Simply stunning. I wish I could come up with a unique way of putting that!

Emily

Hey thanks so much Emily!

I am blown away. I loved it. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks!

I LOVED it. I let my dinner burn b.c it was playing while my hamburger was frying and I couldnt pull myself away to go stir it! Ha What a great idea...I want to do one. How long did it take you to finalize your idea?

melissa

I am speechless. That was breathtaking. Beautiful. What program did you use to create it?



Its official...your my new obsession.

Thanks! Sorry you burned your meat.

I used Pix2exe and yes it took a while. But I was in the mood, lol.

SKYE,

Oh my gosh, you did sucha great job. The Music in the slideshow was what grabbed me and pulled me into each image, and the statements you put in each frame, so good!!! Man now thats a way to get the attention of others.

Man i cant get it out of my head.ITS SO GOOD!!!!!!

Thank you for sharing.

Stewart C.

Why thanks Stewart C.

Very moving Skye...thank you so much for sharing this.

Wickedly Beautiful!

I always love seeing your slideshows...you come up with such brilliant images and words.

Well done.

Skye,
It was soul touching in a very nice way and yes I could tell it was film. Beautiful work in every way. Thank you for sharing some of your soul with us.

Stunning! Absolutely magnificent, Skye!! So very moving. The presentation is poetic brilliance.

I am looking forward to meeting you next week at the One Light.

Wow! BEAUTIFUL work, my friend!

Ah, why thank you everyone!

Looking forward to meeting you Bruce, as well as the other PA'ers that will be there!

Oh I can't wait to see it tomorrow on my pc!!! This is a bump to keep it alive so I don't lose it....Can't wait!

Now of course I am totally disappointed to be on a mac and not be able to watch the slideshow. So I went to your web sites instead, and WOW!!!! It actually make me want to drag out my old pc from the depths of the closet to see the show, and I may just do that at some point later today. Awesome work, definately bookmarked, and the music on your web site in INCREDIBLE!! I LOVE it, and am definately going to google Shaun Paul.

I'm also a musician and have been recording my own music for slideshows, but once I become busy this will totally not be possible all the time. And I love the music I'm hearing on your site, so I have to get all of Shaun's music! I love this type of music, especially for working to, and just great morning music.

So thanks for the inspiration and the turn on to Shaun Paul!

Cheers,
Shawn


PS

Here's a link to my slideshow (MY first) if anyone would like to check it out. Like Skye, mine is kind of a personal artist statement, lots of personal work and my music.

Cheers,
SR

AMAZING!!! So many goosebumps

Well I dug into my closet and dragged out my old PC, and I am speechless Skye. Bruce couldn't have said it any better, poetic brilliance.


Wow Skye. Your light shines very brightly.

Wish you lived in CA.

Thanks for the inspiration,

Shawn
