Title: Still trying to cross that line
Post by: wmchauncey on March 16, 2015, 11:20:21 am: Photography/Art...that line is indeed blurry, but I keep trying to cross it.
I refer to this as The Rising of the Phoenix

I think if you are doing art fairs, a body of work like this, printed big, face-mounted to acrylic, would be quite a success. Or if you approach a gallery. Or interior designers.

I agree. The others are nice but after few seconds I don't get much to keep looking at it; this one is really special though!

Come to find that it's somewhat addicting once I got the technique down. It takes about 100 images to get a few useful ones.

Anyway...thanks for the much appreciated Kudos...please don't hesitate to tell me if I cough out a loser! ;)

Of course now we will slam you any time you show an image that isn't up to this lofty standard. ;)
