Listener Challenge: Photo Remix

Jerry Uelsmann and Maggie Taylor have made distinguished careers out of manipulating images: he's an old-school darkroom guy, while she's embraced the computer. For this challenge, they provided ten images for you to remix into an original composition.

I used the other pictures to colour her in. I kept the beak of the crow since I found it to look splendid. The Leaves, Crow, Pine Trees, Sky, and Butterfly were all used. I like it.

in a crazy forrest where oaks grow into pines a young lady's guitar practice is interrupted by a butterfly man. she offers him some leaves, a blackbird watches with confusion.

this was fun, set myself the challenge of using every image, and think i succeeded (they're all in there anyway). Obviously went for a surrealist vibe. edited in photoshop 6 and lightroom.

I wanted to keep the same "style" of the main image and add some whimsey with a little inspiration from Terry Gilliam/ Monty Pyton. I used all 10 images and gave my portrait man a makeover adding butterfly wing eyelashes, leaf plumage and a bird to his hat, and a marble head brooch. I pulled the birds wings off and gave them to my portrait man, ad added the hand reaching out of the frame. When I added the sky and trees it started to take on a dark motif and I decided the lady needed to be a ghost in the background as well.

trying firefox.

this project was fun! As the image came to life I couldn't help but think of our fragile planet. The hand represents our quest for forgiveness from mother nature, the birds represent the damage done.

It's been a while since I played in photoshop. It's a six photo composition from the available images downloaded. I went for a moody back woods kinda feel. The old images of people who have been and gone from this world and the black crow seem to add to the surreal quality of it all. Thanks to Jerry and Maggie and Studio 360 for the inspiration.

An obvious nod to Magritte's "The Son of Man" & "The Man in the Bowler Hat" .. edited on my iPhone using the apps Snapseed & Juxtaposer, using 3 of the provided images (butterfly, man in a hat, sky) .. plus a red necktie that I swiped from a Google image search.

“Approaching Climate Change, 2012” Thank you to Jerry and Maggie for sharing their picture elements and the challenge. "Art is based on the optimistic assumption that one's most indulgent passions and private obsessions can be transformed into meaningful and profound experiences of universal significance."

Part of the fun I had was adjusting the elements so they would blend together and appear to have all been present during the original "photograph."
