An Empty Room

This is what I have been working on its still a work in progress. I really liked the idea of incorperating my reformatory pictures with my eye scans. So I thought I would try it out and this is what I came up with... I liked how my eye scan becomes more of a texture then a part of the background.

Ideas for the semester

This semester I plan on continuing to work with eye scans. For those of you new to the class I have been able to access scans from inside the eye that I then scan into the computer and manipulate digitally. I would like to focus on not taking as much away from the original eye scans as I did last semester things like keeping the notch in the corner. I thought about trying to make this series indoors but im not sure yet...

A single footstep will not make a path on earth

In crit we were talking about how I should incorperate things that people leave behind so in this one I chose to use a book/journal representing all of the places this person has either read about and wants to go or a journal representing where they have been and written down experiences. On the book I wrote a qoute which says "A single footstep will not make a path on earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives." by Henry David Thoreau

Here is what I have been working on I added the shadow of the trees and made the grass extend more into the background!

Stairway

I started this today. some of the things metioned in my Jr. Review were that the viens in the eye scans don't always have to represent trees. So I tried playing around with that idea today and this is what I came up with. I'm not done with this yet and any commets or suggestions would be great.

More changes...

I used the gradient tool to darken the background and the grass. Instead of the clouds I added a few stars in the sky they are hard to see in this picture but they are there.

Road Trip

This is my most recent image. I'm not sure what else I'm going to do with it yet. I was thinking that I might add clouds into the sky?!?! Any suggestions would be great !

Here are some of the changes I made to my tire swing image I added the moon light shinning in from the background and created a shadow under the tire swing. I also added some leaves to the tree.... I still feel like the tire swing is a bit cut and paste I'm trying to fix it.
