inWorking with Lightroom and Photoshop is pretty neat. Working with these tools gives a new perspective on how an image can be changed to either tell a story or alter a reality.

inProject 3 is a bit challenging. I have some ideas, yet, time is a definite issue. I took some pictures while in Panama that completely meet the requirements of project 3. However, I am not able to make it back to the country in order to take some new shots. haha. So I have to come up with a new concept pronto. Stay tuned…

inThe upcoming project (#3) appears to be very interesting, challenging, and exciting. You can have fun with this or be serious. The focus is an environmental image/portrait that refers to the relationship between and objet and its surroundings…two competing elements, a subject and a location….a Gestalt Figure-Ground concept.
The adorama weblink (http://www.adorama.com/alc/0013706/article/6-Principles-of-Gestalt-Psychology-That-Can-Improve-Your-Photography) that I posted refers to five other concepts: Closure, Continuance, The Law of Common Fate, Similarity, and Proximity; which are very interesting too, but I believe we are not covering.
Jonathan mentioned some environmental portrait examples: clown/circus, skydiver/plane, business area/worker portrait, musician/stage, the list goes on. My mind is spinning with ideas on how to find the subject matter that will make the picture “pop” (rich and compelling story).

inBelatedly, it occured to me I never published my final image and at the moment I don’t have access to it. I’ve been thinking about project three since last week and know that books must be included in any self-portrait. I’ve been playing with Paint again but didn’t finish the bookshelves I started. I still think it is a cool thing. More later.

inI thought we only had to have a 11×14 for tonight. Yesterday, I was in panic mode because Meijers in Jeff couldn’t do the 20×30 because of size issues. I reread the project 2 and could have sworn it said only the 11×14 so that is what I had printed. Now after reading all of your post I see I have to have a 20×30! WOW! Maybe I’m making too much of this but this has been stressful.
