I've been fooling around in photoshop for a few weeks now and I think I've come up with some decent stuff, but I don't think its a good idea to forget where you come from so I'm coming back to my beginnings as a photographer. I started out using an old film camera and focused mostly on black and white film. There just seems to be something about the medium that enhances mood, and often the impact of the subject. At least in my opinion, much of the time the removal of color is equivalent to the removal of distraction. It allows a greater focus not only on shape and texture but on the symbolism behind the subject. I really need to get back to work on things that will get me a grade but I wanted to put this up during my break. Enjoy.Tuesday, January 30, 2007
