Abstract Photographism- Screen Print

Ceci N'est Pas Une Doobie

Beginning my last semester at the University of Miami has left me a bit restless. As I am a Fine Arts major I will have to produce a series of work for display at the end of the semester and I'm still working out the kinks as to what style the shots will be presented. I have always been fond of the panoramic style in presenting work. I feel as a still photographer the use of many images combined into one helps me see the bigger picture. Where a single image lacks in detail, a panoramic can almost put you in the same spot as the photographer which is to me a most worthy connection between the artist and the viewer. Here are some shots I've been screwing around with, and I'm still unsure of how many images i really need to describe an image. I feel that at times simple is better, but i lose some detail, but the posts below this one contain images which are a combination of 50 + images and take a while to combine, but there is no lack in detail. The ones which use that many images is a collaborative project between the computer program and I in which i photograph the photos and the program puts them together as it likes. A little human digital integration there for the art world. I was hoping for some constructive criticism if y'all are down to help. Just leave a comment on whichever post with a panoramic shot you enjoy. I would truly appreciate it. Otherwise, enjoy.

Well I've just returned from a road trip with the family. We went skiing in west virginia throughout the new year for possibly the last time we can all go together. The grueling fifteen hour drive is always an experience to say the least, the only oppurtunities i really got to photograph would be at hotel rooms at the end of the day. The most torturing aspect was entering the town we were staying and staring out the window only to see a million locations to photograph. Alas, the drive heeded no stops for me and the camera would stay put until i was free of the seat belts restraining properties. The photographs below are candid, personal and an attempt to capture my family in little rectangualr format. Happy New Year!
