Some Photography Based Stuff


Some simple photographic images edited digitally. Click for full size. Took a day off school to visit IUPUI's Herron School of Art for an open house. Saw some cool stuff but overall still feel like I made the right choice in going to IU.

Photography, Radial Digital

Oh boy... I've done a ton of stuff since my last post... (!!click to see full size!!).
Um... first I did some photography on a beautiful morning when the sky turned red:


I took about 20 photos and filled up my stock for digital stuff quite nicely. I also took some photos the next night when the sky became incredibly foggy and got this as a result:

Before getting around to creating the awesome digital collages that were to be created from these photos and also got around to doing some mixed media (acrylic, paper bag, and sepia india ink):

Also a humorous mini installation entitled "It's a Trap"... this is the fourth photo from the series:

And finally the digital collages from the photographs (along with their full rez detail shots):

The actual full sizes for all of these have dimensions in the upper 40s and 50s of inches! Massive overwhelming images of light and color!

"Gears"

(right click "view image" to see these full sized)





More digital photography using tv screen captures. The detail shot shows the full resolution. My pops and I have talked about it and I think perhaps a lower resolution than what I have now might be better to clean up some of the blurriness. But overall, I'm still rather pumped about the progression of this process. I've proven beautiful art can be created from the smallest sliver of a the original picture:

Morning Star

So I watched a crappy horror movie with my buddies and filled up my camera with screen capture stock photos and then set to work on collaging them. After experimenting with rotational symmetry I am very happy to present this result:

This is, unfortunately, an extremely scaled down low resolution version, the full size is 51"x40" and you can see the patterns from the television's screen much more clearly. They interplay and work as textures to really give the piece punch. Here is a detail pic of the full resolution version:
