fine art animated GIF?

by | May 14, 2010 | PHOTOGRAPHY

I’ve found two, made by Blake Sinclair. Both of these images are everything I thought an animated GIF was not; subtle, artistic, subdued and beautiful. I can feel the breeze through the trees and grasses. These images are a double whammy for RVA, as they’re a wonderful reinterpretation of a medium usually quantified as cheesy, gaudy, and anything *but* art, and they’re also of fixed gear bicycles 😛
