Lindsey Walker Photography & Art

Digging through my virtual archive again today, I found a scan that I did of the Provider Card. This was one of three "prophesy" cards that I did for my friends' art show called Everything Wrong: The Knights of Shocking Difference in Sept 2007 in Santa Monica, CA. I was asked to illustrate three contemporary archetype cards - sort of our own take on the Tarot. This one is my favorite.

This is what I was given:

the survival and subsistence of self and others. Goes OUT of the self
to get the goods (vs. the Nurturer- who brings into self).

The first person I thought of was my friend Jen, who is very inspiring to me. She is a single mom and has worked so hard to provide for her kids. So, that is who is on my card, representing those who do everything they can for the sake of the survival and happiness of others.

Taken a few months ago on the LA River. Hard to tell from the photo but I thought the rock on the right was a rock at first few glances. Turns out, it's a blanket taking on a new life. Urban nature.

I recently found these self-portraits that I had taken about 8 years ago. I still really like them, and think I also still see things much the same way.  Apologies for the less-than-perfect layout. Technical difficulties with thumbnails and this blog.

But it didnt quite work...

I realized I liked the orginial photograph better. I'm sort of 1 out of 4 right now, as far as the pieces I really like when they're done. I've posted both, but the orginial photo is at bit of a higher contrast than usual. What do you think?
