Texture project complete.

Finished the texture project, it'll be up Tuesday. On to the next project!

40 and 1/3 project.

So, I've completed the project for now. I'm not very happy with the results, but I need to move on to the next project. I may revisit it later. But anyways, these are some of the better shots. I started trying square cropping some photos, and I like the look of them. I also have been trying out cross processing of some of them. I like those results as well. Next project: textures.

"So bright, it's dark"

Upcoming projects.

So, currently, I'm working on my 40 and 1/3 landscape project. It's hard to find quality time to spend taking photos with my busy schedule. But anyways, here are some projects I want want to do next.

Shape and Line (a texture study):
I want to do a project where I go around and photograph different textures. The photo will contain  only texture, not really any subject matter. This is so in the future I will have textures to combine with other photographs. It is also to study shapes and lines. This is the only time I'm going to dedicate a whole project to textures, and it should be a fairly quick project. (24 or more photos)

Throughout other projects when I see textures I will photograph them even if they don't relate to the project.

Upon reflection (self portraits):
So for this project the idea is to go around and find any object the reflects. I'll be taking a picture of myself in the reflection. This could be anything from a mirror, to glass, to a teapot. Anything I can find a reflection in I will take a picture of. (24 or more photos)

Landscape texture edits.

I've been experimenting with texture combination in photoshop a lot. I was inspired by Cole Rise's photos (links in previous blog post). I find his images really stunning. Here is one test with texture combination. The first one is a color combination, the second one I turned it to black and white, and the third one is a combination of the color and black and white. I think I like this one best.

Diptychs, triptychs, and quadtychs.

I made these using an app on my iPod touch. They have interesting look, maybe I'll try some with pictures that were taken with a real camera.
