I don't think I like this side challenge... All my regular photos are looking really, really dull in comparison to ones with textures. It's ruining me for straight forward photography.

I have been so horrible at commenting. I am going to try and be better. I have just been so overwhelmed by all the great photos in this challenge. Everyone is doing such great things its hard to keep up. |

LOL! Maybe it doesn't make them "better" but they sure are fun to do.
It occurred to me that an image presents us mostly with a place, and the overlays seem to add a sense of time. |

I think I'm enjoying it, because I feel like I'm finally creating something artistic. I wish I could do things like Nixter and Ursula, create a piece of art, but I just capture what's there. I'm not saying it well, because I don't know how to put it into words. The best way to describe it is: I'm not a 1x.com person. I love the photos there -- I think they're truly, incredibly artistic. I would love to be able to do things like that. But I can't. I doubt that there's anything in my portfolio that would interest them. But somehow the overlays seem to take the photos into a more artistic realm. I still haven't figured out what works, and what I like, but it's fun feeling that I can do something artistic.

One thing is for certain I find that there is more artistic freedom to breathe new life into older images or 'revisit' them. I love seeing what others have come up with too - some really beautiful works.
An old one of my youngest taken a wee bit over 3 years ago. Will post more in notes section when time permits...

Art is not a product, it's a process. It's in the doing of it that Art happens. When I was a little kid, just beginning to draw, I could trance out & disappear into what I was drawing, becoming fully absorbed in & by the process. The product/result was only a child's drawing, one of millions. But I poured my heart & soul out in the making of it. Finding something that would accept my heart & soul, play with it, make discoveries with it, was Fun. Now the same little kid is with me & in me as I lean back in the lazyboy, one hand on the mouse, gazing into the computer screen, lost in a world of my own creation. I still trance out, disappear into my work, free-associating photoshop tools, photos, overlays. Freed of all rules, all preconceived ideas, I goof around to see what will happen next. And it's still Fun. Just sayin'. "D

The stuff I'm seeing in this SC is *A*W*E*S*O*M*E! You guys ROCK!

I totally relate to what you're saying. I am quite happy with the images I'm getting in this SC but they still lack that "omph" quality. On the other hand, I think I could get there if I continue to let my creativity flow freely. This side challenge is just what my artistic muscles needed :D |
