Classroom in motion

A series of still images strung together. I took a picture from (more or less) the same place in my art room after each class for about 2 weeks.

It's fun to focus on an individual object and follow it around room. Try the door, the palette on the marker board, or any of the baskets on the work tables.

Living Rock Growth- 2013

Another time-lapse of my Lithops plant growing earlier this Spring. I snapped a shot just about every day for 2 months during it's annual growth cycle.

You can see last year's growth here. Even though it seems to be growing quickly, the plant hasn't changed its overall size much over the 3 years I've kept it. Instead, the new growth draws water from the old "leaves," which shrink away like tiny raisins.

It was challenging to remember to take the picture at the same time of day or under consistent light conditions, hence the wide variation in brightness.

Living Rock Growth

With summer just around the corner, I'll have enough time on my hands to crank out 2 or 3 updates a week. Until then, here's something else I've been working on...

This is a series of daily pictures taken over the course of two months of my Living Rock (Lithops) plant. This was during late winter/early spring, a period in the plant's cycle when even one instance of over-watering can be fatal. The four new leaves are able to grow by taking the water from the original two. 

I'm hoping to see a flower in the coming months. If so, I'll be sure to document it in a similar way.
