here is my first set of images. I liked the colors so i stayed close to that in my 2nd image. This is what I wanted to see when i shot my image. You point and click and see the image you took but you cant see the image in everyones head of ho it looks or what they really see thats what I wanted this porject to be about how we all view things differently

Heres what I want to do ,Im not layering photographs with texture. I want to have an original photograph and then the one i made myself ( and i wanted to use different textures because that is what i like most in my images). Re-designing the image and what I want the viewer to understand is that yes you see my photograph but then (the 2nd image) is really how I see my own image. The idea of having 2 is to show the actual shot of the image and then my idea of how i thought it should look would be the 2nd image. The final images won't be too big and they will be positive images( although i did not think about making them negative images that could be fun) in color and digital

So I have been working with After Effects and doing some tutorial that I found online
The first one I tried was a water drop connecting to water on the ground to make a continuous flow and I am still I'm the process of making that, I am also learning how to add sound to go with this piece when it is done which I hope is soon I will post it here on my blog

hey Charlotte I had issues trying to upload my images so I emailed them to you I will keep trying to post them on my blogg

ok so I don't know how to upload a youtube video to my blog ( i know, but I'm not really into the whole youtube craze) so here is a link to a video of how I want my project to go. Like in my sketches the tree never really changes, but the things around the tress do change so here is somewhat of an exaple of what I would like to do with the movement and music minus the talking and that is a above the influence commerical

I tired to do my best and like Jen said, and story-board my idea.
I wan to start with a natural photograph and work that photo
through the different season, although when changing seasons the
image is also changing into a more technological state rather than just different
seasons in nature, but as nature changes so does the time in technology
I put another set of sketches down to show how I want to connect my images together sort of like a string that keeps moving.

Marina’s Room, 1987Marina and Peter, 1997

Tina Barney's documentary photographs

and work by David Claerbout a video you can watch

I wanted to explore more with a moviemaker something like iShow (I want to become more familiar with that process, since I have only tried it last semester), but thought a documentary. I liked Jennifer’s comment about a montage of landscape photos but I am not sure that would be enough to complete my idea with the music. Maybe I could compose a somewhat slide show with the music and photographs? I looked at photographer Tina Barney and her documentary photography, her style is a then and now. She does pictures of people in the past and then pictures of them now or an up to date picture and puts them side-by-side. Sort of like what I would like to do with Mussorgsky’s music. Use the music Mussorgsky composed for the art back then, but use the music for my pictures composed today. I also researched some more and found David Claerbout he overlapped video and still photography. “He digitizes found photographs and then introduces moving elements, and with them, time. “ (My list Visual Arts Center, p 1) I found that interesting and thought maybe I could try this process (with some guidance of course) but with the photographs that I would create and introduce the moving element.

For my project I would like to something along the lines of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, but reversed. Pictures at an Exhibition is a about 10-15 different musical numbers composed for drawings, painting, and sketches done by one of Mussorgsky’s friend. When Hartmann passed away Mussorgsky composed these scores to go along with Hartmann’s drawings and paintings. Here is a website that explains Mussorgsky and his Pictures at an Exhibition. http://www.stmoroky.com/reviews/gallery/pictures/hartmann.htm
I would like to compose pictures to what the music means to me. First I would like to choose maybe 5 to 8 different musical scores (it might be from Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, it may not) and then compose images while listening to music. When researching I found lot of people who were inspired to make art from music that they have heard. If anyone knows a photographer who works from music let me know I haven’t found any yet.

My other idea was to travel around a little bit and take pictures of landscapes. After looking at the pictures I would take I would like to combine them together and make either one big picture or somewhat of a landscape scape picture. I was looking at Tony Hadley’s website, Hadley combines different landscape pictures together to make it look like one photo snap shot that has never been touched. His website is http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=8146763
Another photographer I was looking at was Jeremy Turner and his panoramas. http://www.jturnerphotography.com/panorama/index.htm
Reading his website and how he got to these photos made me want to attempt the same things, but with more photos involved. He uses more photos in his new photographs which could use alil work, so the viewer cannot tell that there is more than one image in the photograph. One other artist I really liked when I was researching was Adam Gibbs; none of his photography really has any digital work added to it. I like the designs and colors he uses within his photographs. I also liked Gibb’s use of textures and lighting. Gibbs only uses the light that the sun provides which I honestly really like. He is a landscape/ wildlife photographer and with landscape light the sun is part of the landscape so I appreciate that he uses only the sun, and I would like to incorporate that into my project
