QOTW vol.3 cont'd
DJ says:Once again... a great question... but...I am going to change the assignment, at least for me.
These images were not taken in the last 6 months, but actually rediscovered in the last few weeks and I have been manipulating them to achieve an image closer to my original vision.
A person without eyes cannot see, but seeing is not required to have a vision!!!
The first two images represent a series I have been working on for years, and still continue, that involves folding or rolling paper and then shooting the unusual shapes and using strong, directional lighting to create these images. sometimes the images can become quite busy and lose their impact as a visual element and people start to try and analyze the image too much.
The third image is my personal favorite... it is an image that is very simple, not only in visual impact, but also in it's elements and the amount of time to create the image. This is one of those images that just jumped into my face and said, "take me". I really like the hard contrast between the black and white and also the curved edge between the two tones. In my opinion, a straight line would have lost the dynamics. I shot this image using 35mm Polapan slide film, instant develop. This process creates a positive image that I scanned hi-res and then manipulated slightly. I am not sure this is a film you can still purchase or is even manufactured.
Let me know what you think...

Very cool imagery. I had this old brownie box camera (that has since been "lost") that would give me really great grainy square pics.
