From the line "Stay as still as you think you should be". I'm not sure which edit of the photo I like better, so I put them both up. I think I like the first one better if there isn't a texture, and I like the second one better if there is a texture.

Get Out.

Listen.

From the line "locked myself up in a room without a window".

Strange Terrain.

Listen.

Texture overlays.

So, now that I've got some textures to select from (and more I'm going to be taking), I can use them to combine with photos I take during the rest of my projects. Here are a few combinations from my 40 and 1/3 project.

Music is a photograph.

Music is meant to evoke emotion in a person. Photography is meant to evoke emotion in a person. Any kind of art is supposed to have this effect. So, in theory, you could represent one art form through another. I am going to attempt to do this with this project the I'm starting. The idea is to take a musical album, and turn it into a series of photographs. You can do this through looking at the song titles, reading the lyrics, listening to the music. Just whatever the music makes you feel, then using these things you've observed to create a photograph. I've been thinking about this project for a while, so I've got some good ideas already. The album that I'm going to photograph is Circa Survive's "Blue Sky Noise". I'm going to use the lyrics of the songs, along with the feeling of the songs, to create my photographs. When I finish the project I'll put the photographs up with the songs that inspired them.

Texture project.

Here are some of the textures that I photographed in my latest 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.

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.
