This week in open studio I started a new project with the images I had taken over the weekend. I had a lot of photos of these stacks of rocks at various stages of assembly and disassembly. I decided to edit three photos in the same way. One was of the entire stack, one was of the stack partially taken apart, and one was of a pile of rocks. I printed them all on to 8 by 11 glossy paper and tried to figure out how to matt them. I decided to matt them together on a large cylinder to emphasize the cycle they represent. I made a large tube out of poster paper and reinforced it with cardboard circles. I then spray-painted it to look finish. I still need to glue the images on to the exterior of this cylinder, but I think it is going well. I plan on taking two photo shoots over thanksgiving break but I also think that my last photo shoot had some really good photos that I want to use in the future.

This week I didn't really like any of the photos I had taken over the weekend. I didn't know what to do so I looked back through my old photos and found this image of hawks in my neighbor's tree. I remembered some nature photos with odd contrast so I tried that. I really like the result but I thought it was boring. I found another picture of the same tree and printed it on a clear paper. i plan on making these two into a cheesy photo box that looks like a museum exhibit. I am very excited This week in open studio I did a lot less editing than the last two weeks. I tried to take images of photos that showed the world when people aren't there. I didn't like a lot of the photos I had taken over the weekend, so I decided to just focus on this image. I think the lighting worked very well so I didn't have any trouble with that. I actually edited it in both photoshop and light room. I think that the magnet selection tool works better for making sharp delineations, so I used that to alter the background. Then I used light room to change the contrast and vibrance a little and make a vignette. I really liked how easy that was, so I'll probably use both photoshop and lightroom in the future. Next week I'm planning on taking photos of normal objects in abnormal perspectives so I'll need to focus on good lighting as well.
