Deco-Reco

Deco-reco was always going to be a challenge but it was one I fully embraced and ending up doing a lot of work on. Now when you see the two images and compare them please remember that Photoshop is not my strong point.

  

<- A self portrait from Ways of Looking by Douglas Gordon

My version.

Whilst I realise the angle of the portrait in the original photo of my version doesn't quite line up with portrait used in Gordon's version I'm pleased with my result. The only piece I feel didn't work as strongly as I would have like is the hints of burning paper that can be seen. 

A Quick Shot

So as I was looking out of window just I noticed the spikes of the window sill just about creeping through the darkness and tried to take a photo of them. It took me a while to figure out how to do it and eventually I managed it. However, that's not the shot I'm showing here, instead it's a self portrait.

This photo isn't great, it's overexposed and it looks out of focus because of the window being so dirty (which I will point out isn't my fault at all) but that is what makes me like it.

Noted: Must get back in to blogging habbit.

Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

I honestly do not know how our Christmas tree has managed to survive so long already. And without any broken baubles. To mark the memorable occasion of standing for a week and gaining only a slight forward lean I took a few snaps. Clichés of course.

One self portrait..

Two self portrait.

Yeah, my Cliches were intentional as I wanted a new self portrait and being in the festive spirit these made sense.
