Reunion

#282
Source material: Window shade, bad inkjet printout.
The following 12 images were all created from photos taken during a recent family reunion. This and #281 come from a view through a window shade looking out at trees. The overlay is of a bad injet print, and it's the interaction of positive and negative layers that got things going.


#281
Source material: Window shade, bad inkjet print.
The text in this one kind of illustrates itself: a long tale; too long to fit.


#280
Source material: Kaweah Lake, block print borders, Photoshop type.
The lake shot is blurred in the camera, as it was interesting to see how "painterly" the photos could be with no manipulation in Photoshop.


#279
Source material: Wood siding.
Salvaged wood on my cousin's studio created organic and regular patterns that caught my eye. An unaltered photo except for exposure levels.


#278
Source material: Wood siding.
Same as above.


#277
Source material: Wood siding.
Same as above.


#276
Source material: Lake surface.
While others swam, I caught glimmers of light dancing on the surface of the water. This is also an unaltered photo.


#275
Source material: Grain storage.
Traveling down I-5 and Hwy. 99 in California, these intriguing structures were captured at 75mph. Another unaltered photo. I love what chance compositions can be. I was watching the road as I snapped the shutter.


#274
Source material: Grain storage.
Same as above.


#273
Source material: Oak tree, Photoshop type.
My cousin's house is nestled amongst a grove of oaks. Walking under their canopy felt sacred and profound.


#272
Source material: Japanese jacket, train rust and graffiti.
The shimmering fabric caught my eye (see #271) and I like how it contrasts with the splash of paint from the train.



#271
Source material: Japanese jacket.
An unaltered photo but for levels, color and saturation to get my really bad photo to look more like what it did in real life.
