untitled, 2009 Found this fun scanograph in my archives. Reminds me of an inkblot.
Botanical #1
There is something alluring about dead flowers. I have always been reluctant to throw them away. Watching flowers slowly wither and decay reminds me of life, death, and the passing of time. It reminds me of how fragile life is, and of how precious our moments are.
Beyond the Sea
Beyond the Sea was inspired by a song titled The Iron Sea by Keane. I wanted the words to have a handwritten look so I wrote it out and scanned it into the computer. I duplicated and layered the text onto a photograph I took of the ocean in St. Augustine, Florida, and set the blending mode to screen so my original black text would appear white.
Scanner Art
One of the projects in my Digital Imaging class introduced us to using scanners as a means of creating art, aka scanography and scanner photography. The extremely shallow depth of field and flat plane create a really interesting look. These three images didn't make the cut for my portfolio but I thought they were fun.
