Form and color
By Sparky | June 4, 2007
Last night some experimentation with color and form has ensued. I explored through iPhoto looking for untouched shots that I liked for either their colors, or their form, but without care for other compositional details. I then dived into Photoshop to bring out what I considered to be the best parts of the photo, while reducing the worst. It was a somewhat successful experiment (I like the Blue walker rivets results a lot more) that I learned a lot from.
The Red Yellow Junko I selected only for it’s bright colors. I always liked the idea of giving that corner market the Lensbaby treatment but never really found an exact implementation I liked. A little bit of cropping makes this one decent, but it’s the colors that I love in the end.
Blue walker rivets was last week on my photo shoot with Rob of the Red Walker sculpture, but obviously heavily color processed. The curves all arcing to the center of the photo reminds me of something far more organic than a bunch of metal held together with rivets; more of an octopus or bird arcing into flight.
Is it really Monday already? The weekend seemed far too short, and I have way too much on my agenda for this week. I meant to go out shooting this weekend and get some new material to work with, but never seemed to have the chance between getting all my personal to-do’s checked off from the last couple of weeks. Such the sorrows of a successful life.
