Confetti Burst.

2008.02.05




I brought home a bag of confetti from work today. I have the tedious task of attempting to separate the big clumps which are stuck together so that the children can paste them onto their shell and sea horse collages next week. It's actually a little therapeutic rubbing them between my fingers to pry them apart.

Earlier I had a sudden urge to throw them all up in the air. Common sense and the boring adult in me told me that wouldn't be the best idea (I didn't feel like picking up tiny bits of paper of the ground for the next hour anyway!) So a sprinkling of color turned out to be enough to satisfy my needs.

towside ahh sorry take it back...... its pretty damn sweet right there. 1 and 4 are pretty damn sexy. Nice composition in number 1 and motion in 4 :)
towside · 2008-02-05: 03:29
jet28 I really like these - love the composition of #1 and the movement of the rest. I wouldn't like to be cleaning up after your collage making session next week ;-)

Peche I love the first shot in this set Andrea, for its clarity, depth, and realism - I'm convinced I can reach out and grab that confetti off you :)

dhulsmeyer I think this makes an interesting set. I wonder how it would have looked if you had used a faster shutter and were able to stop the fall of the confetti in mid-air. hmmm just thinking. I like what you did here.

bamommy How pretty. You are so creative. I really like the sequence of the shots. Great colors too.

TamaraHarden The last shot is amazing!! It's interesting to see that some of them must've been falling faster than the others. Nice!!

Lindyart · 2008-02-05: 10:45
ambersunsets Very creative. I love how each frame spills into the next. Great work!
ambersunsets · 2008-02-05: 10:45
lexlevans oh fun!!! i love how playful this is - i have an urge to throw things into the air now... sigh, i have nothing fun to throw.

the last one is great! i love that you can see the individual pieces still among the fabulous blur of color :-)

can i come over and paste these to a shell and seahorse collage?? sounds like fun!! :-)
lexlevans · 2008-02-05: 10:50

eljapa Great idea!!
eljapa · 2008-02-05: 11:59
telam Wow! That was so cool! Very creative! The last one is my favorite.
telam · 2008-02-05: 12:20
BreezyOnTheEyes first and fourth shots are amazing! i love the first one because it gets you all hyped for a color explosion and it's so crisp, then by the time you get to 4 you can really see all the tiny confettis individually trailing down. i love it! secondly, i love how it's part of your job to take bags of confetti home and pry each piece apart. thirdly, the second comment up there is hilarious...that he finds these photos "damn sexy". and of course fourthly, unlike 'lexlevans' who asked to come over, i'm just telling you that i'll be in class next week. that's right, a new student. i have so much to learn! ~_^

Queen911 This really made me laugh - I like #1 - Go ahead throw them.
Queen911 · 2008-02-05: 17:31
towside ATTN ALL: it is NOT recommended to throw your wifes confetti in the lounge room no matter how funny you think it is. Secondly do not blow and suck into a bag filled with confetti as you mouth will ingest such objects. sticking to the inside of your mouth while you choke like a fool.

photopoet I love what you did with the confetti—creative. Great photography.

oldbabe Beautiful, creative idea...I don't remember getting to use confetti on collages when I was a kid.

P.S.- I'm still picking up confetti I gave the two 3 yr old grandkids on New Year's eve and looks like I will probably continue until next New Year's eve.

kazshots I remember way back to the start of march (oh so long ago) when I was first looking at this website and spent two whole (quiet) night shifts looking through your blog, I absolutely loved these shots! The last one has now been added into my faves. They are so simple yet so effective and pretty.
