Today was not such a good day. I had to deal with some disappointment and overall suckiness of humanity.
I spent a lot of time sewing Magic Bags - fancy little bags I predominantly make around the holidays.
When I sew, I sit vis-a-vis a photo by Len Harris, a local photographer artist. The sun was getting low and I could see myself in the glass of the picture.
What I saw mirrored how I felt, so I photographed it.
In the back you see the back wall of my office with more photos - some mine, some from other local artists. And there is the shadow from the window, as well.
So this looks wildly layered, where in fact it's just one exposure. Processed with Lucis Exposure, increased saturation, sharpened, Perfectum, USM, put a frame around it for containment.
I keep coming back here to comment on these photos and end up getting lost in them some more. I still don't know what to say; other than don't stop making them.
i'm sorry you're feeling down .. it seems to be going around .. you're creating some incredible art from your pain tho .. so its half good !!!
another brilliant image .. i like the other one better tho .. .. :)
