Just saw Tupac Resurrection. He was a talented man with a big heart and a soothing rap. We will miss you, Drew on iPad2 asketch app while watching.
Self portrait
I noticed my reflection in the glare on the iPad screen. This is why I have a kindle reader. However, I traced la línea con my finger on the asketch app, this is the result.
Ocean Beach - Symphony on Yellow and Blue
Horizontal bands of color, a converted beach scene ala iphone, reminds me of a Rothko-esque fantasy world.
Boarding the Ocean Beach Ferry
I used tadaa app, then applied tilt shift effect. Selective blurring places the focus and emphasis on the face, creating a very introspective feel.
Horses in Hamptons
Taken with Tadaa app on iphone, then converted to Charleston sepia tones. A western setting in sepia monochromes creates a vintage look. An extreme close up is a true portrait. One can sense the horse's personality.
Lobsterman at the Pines Hotel
An environmental portrait. Placing a portrait in contextual surroundings adds interest and plot narrative.
Fashion Show at Invasion of the Pines
Repetitive forms with sunglasses is good. Reminds me of a famous photograph from the fifties of people in a 3D movie.

Lobsterman
At the Invasion of the Pines, 2012. An annual tradition, drag queens from nearby Cherry Grove on Fire Island arrive by the ferry and walk down the red carpet. The event began after a group of cross dressers were turned away at a lady's night event at the Pines, with the blunt dismissal that they were not real girls. In protest, a small band staged an invasion by water the following year. Every year the invasion has grown till now, when about 500 queens arrived together.
Sunset on Fire Island
As the sun sets over the Great South Bay, a smooth aerial transition of color takes place, as burning reds shift gently to greyish blues of twilight. The otherworld transform of the tadaa app desaturates all other color, allowing us to focus on and marvel at the spendor of the setting sun.
Steven
A self portrait, using tadaa app with transform called souvenir. Yes, it does remind me of an old postcard, perhaps faded, or even colored in a bit with watercolor.
Hair on Fire
Graininess and texture. color inversions, destauration effects combined help to create another watercolor like portrait. Motion, repetitive forms and colors, unexpected vantage points help to produce a dynamic composition.
Fire Island Ferry in HDR
Impossible to avoid motion. In HDR, or high dynamic range photography, two images of different exposures are merged. A tripod can help prevent motion, allowing for precise overlay of the same image. On the ferry, buffetted by strong winds, this was all but impossible. Fun was to be had, however. With HDR pro app on the iPhone, the interior of the ferry, otherwise darkened in shadows by the setting of the twilight sun, is illuminated in the warmth of surreal lightening, create a glow to math that of the twilight afterburn.
The Artist
In Fire Island, taken with iPad 4 S app called Tadaa, sought of like instagram. I then transformed the picture using the otherworld option. I love the way it creates a water color like effect.
Les Parapluies, Renoir
I drew this with my second right finger using the iPad 2 Inspire Pro app. I applied thin layers of varying transparencies, of blues , greens, and yellows mixed into the flesh tones to reproduce Renoir's signature method.. This face is in a large painting of many people, with umbrellas, hence the title. It is one of any large full length portrait studies introduced today at the Frick Museum, NY.
