I meant to put up a post on Friday as I always do for the Paint Party Friday link up however I haven't painted in a couple of weeks. Haven't been painting much since I have been sick.
The other day I was scrolling through some photos and found a cool one I shot a few years ago in NYC. I put it in snap seed and spent some time altering it. That sometimes can feel like painting to me. I get lost in the moment of creating.
I went for vintage and grunge on this one. And it just works.
Hope you are all enjoying the long weekend. I am soooo looking forward to fall and the crisp weather that hopefully is on its way soon!

I agree...sometimes working at altering a photograph does feel like painting...you are creating something different. I hear you -- I too often get lost in the editing and the textures...we live in such a great age where things like this are possible.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better and have been able to enjoy the long weekend! xo
I try not to alter my photos. I don't consider it wrong, but it wouldn't give me the same satisfaction.
ReplyDeleteIf the photo comes out well, it just means I used the perfect combination of diaphragm aperture, exposure time, and focal length in manual mode. I used film until I could before turning digital. I guess there's something about it left in me.
When I read you had taken the picture a few years ago, I thought: "How many? 60?"
Good job!
