Now Appearing in East Texas

I’ve been REmaking images lately.

It’s my new favorite thing. I’m kind of obsessed actually.

What I like to do is search thru images in my camera roll – particularly images that seem very ‘lacking’ – photographically. You know, those images you take because you see something unusual or something you feel you just need to record – but not something necessarily frame-worthy.

I have a LOT of those images. It’s impossible NOT to have a lot especially when you’re a photographer and you have a camera in your hands almost every minute of the day!

I like to take THOSE images and see if I can turn them into something completely different as simply and as quickly as possible.

It’s a challenge. And it’s really satisfying when every now and then you strike gold.

Here’s the before image.

My kind of fun.

Another iPhone (only) composite where I’ve combined two of my favorite things…winter landscape photography and bees!  (not necessarily in that order!)

And here is the original image of the honey extractor (from the beekeeping booth at our local Ag Expo this weekend) to give you an idea of how layering affected the outcome of the image.
