About Me
I’m Lou Cifelli, Welcome to my Webpage!
My interest in art began at an early age.
I was drawing freehand in the 3rd grade.
I was fascinated with horses and dolphins.
What began as an interest in drawing them in pencil developed
into an ambition to capture them in color.
I used colored
pencils to do this. The
more I would draw the more interested I became in capturing other
things. Being a child
of the sixties I began to draw cartoon characters from books, then I
began to draw characters from my favorite television shows.
I would watch them for hours until I completed the drawing.
Bugs Bunny was a favorite!!
Then Lost in Space...then Batman...then Gale Sayers...then
the 1967 Red Sox… then the Boston Bruins!!!
Can you guess where I’m from???
Everything was in pencil copied from photographs.
I then became fascinated with color.
After trying oil painting-unsuccessfully-I became obsessed
with light and color.
Well... photography fit the bill! If I couldn’t paint it with
oil I could use another tool...a
camera!!
I began with a Kodak rangefinder and graduated to a Yashica SLR..
That was in the seventies!!
Well, that is in the past, now I use Canon EOS SLR’s and lenses and
shoot with film and digital.
Photography is my passion.
I belong to the
Santa Clarita Valley Photographers Association in
southern California. My
photographs have won awards locally for the past
six
years.
