If you are following my blog, you must be aware that I am part of photography group called Momenta and we are presently having an exhibition in Montreal.
For the exhibition, I picked 1 photo from every month of my 365-Day Project from December 2014 until August 2015. For the occasion, I decided to rework some of my photos. I intend on sharing them with you in the few days to come.
You might recall the photo posted on August 21st 2015, 243/365 – Seeking Higher Ground, it underwent a metamorphoses. See if you like it.
Dance and stretch whenever and wherever you can.
Unless I photograph people from the back or in a way where they could not be recognized, I ask for their permission; most people say yes. Here are a few I got to pose for me during the photography workshop.
I haven’t been able to shoot every day lately. The selling/moving of our house in NYS has kept me busier than I wished.
Today is my son’s 24th birthday! I have been busy cooking all day his favorite food for tonight’s dinner.
So I decided to show you a couple of photos shot while at a photography workshop in Dubai.
The first one is from the Khalid Bin Al Waleed metro station and the second one was taken at the Burj Khalifa metro station.
So this is the second project I made for my Photoshop class. This one is not as technically involved as the one I presented to you yesterday, but I personally find it pleasing. I am also including the photos used in the making of this one.
In early January of this year I started a course at Concordia University: Digital Dimensions Photoshop I & II, CEPH 219. The course ended last Monday and today I had to hand in my final project.
We were warned on the very first class by the teacher that this is a difficult class, taught in accelerated (two levels being taught in one) and that it is not for everyone. The course was not easy for me, until class 8 (there were 10), I wasn’t sure I would be able to produce the final project. Since I really want to have Photoshop in my tool box, I stuck with it until the end. I am not looking to drastically change the way people look, but I might want to use it at times in a form of artistic expression.
For our final project we were asked to create a composite image. Meaning with several photos I took, I needed to recreate a new one. I am presenting it to you tonight. I know it is amateurish, but it is my very first one and by no means do I pretend to be good at it. I am including a gallery of all the photos that were involved in the making of this composite image, just for you to see. I was disappointed with the result, but at the same time satisfied I was able to do it. I ended-up creating a second composite image which I will present to you tomorrow.
Break on through to the other side
After a long, harsh winter, spring is reluctant to make its grand entrance. Whether abrupt or gradual, the transition from one season to the next is always miraculous, and a worthy subject of a metaphorical image.
You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run
Tried to hide
Break on through to the other side – The Doors
