Moments of Grace

"YOUR BEST WORK WILL COME IN MOMENTS OF GRACE"

A quote from Joyce Tenneson in the book WHAT I KNOW NOW, LETTERS TO MY YOUNGER SELF




I found this quote a great source of inspiration for my final assignment. My original intention for my project did not materialize, but instead these photos spoke to the task. I think each one truely stretched my photoshop skills. Maybe, in a crazy way and using alot of imagination each may speak to my original intention for the project.


The toothpaste picture was an important image in that it was my training ground. However as a piece it did not turn out. I was too big a challange and impossible to finish in this semester.

A LETTER TO MY YOUNGER SELF

My multisource composite began as an assignment that found inspiration from a book that I was reading called "WHAT I KNOW NOW Letters to my younger self". From that point I scanned in an ornate frame from my collection and filled it by scanning and cropping an old photograph of myself almost 30 years younger. I then photographed my desk with a letter I wrote to myself. Oooh it was quite a look at my life so far.

Retouch, Revive, and Relive the Moment

I found this process really interestng. In fact I burned many hours on several pictures. A couple of my favorites were unsalvageable. This one turned out okay. He is now 34 and I sent him this picture. it gave him a new perspective on his day and reminded me how sweet he is.

Shooting in the moment allows one to focus on what there is and capturing the best image your skills will allow. I love the ability to stay in the moment and leave the rest to interpet in the Dim Room.



This Moment will never come again.

Gaining perspective through my photos causes me to contemplate my bigger picture. The question became where and how do I fit into the ever changing tree of my life?
