ARTIST STATEMENT: "Succulent it" I took this picture at Downtown Home and Gardens. I love succulent plants because they're really hard to kill and keeping plants alive is hard for me. I also thought these kinds of plants would be good for masks because they're not a very complicated shape and easy to select in photoshop. I took this picture in mid-afternoon but the light was less bright than outside because it was in a green house. In photoshop I just increased the brightness and contrast. I also changed the saturation as well.
"Please Use Other Door"
"Graffiti"
"Succulent it"
"Aloe No"
ARTIST STATEMENT: "Aloe No" I took this picture at Downtown Home and Gardens in mid afternoon inside of a greenhouse. I thought that the interesting patterns on the leaf things would be interesting to be reflected.
"Libros"
"Shrooms"
"Flowers"
"Polez"
ARTIST STATEMENTS: "Flowers" I took this picture of peonies in a neighbor's yard around 6. I didn't use my digital camera but instead my iPod for all of these pictures because I can't find my charger, so the quality is a lot different. "Polez" I took this picture in my backyard in the evening. I thought the pattern of the poles would create an interesting image; I think it did but it also turned out a lot different then I imagined.
"Flowers pt2"
"Flowers pt3"
ARTIST STATEMENTS: "Flowers pt2" I took a picture of these peonies in the same neighbor's yard. Peonies are one of my favorite flowers and I thought the arrangement of flowers would be interesting flipped. In photoshop I increased the contrast but made the image a little darker in levels. "Flowers pt3" I took this photograph in my Grandma's backyard. Although the frame is completely full of the flowers, I think it creates a unity and balance .
