"Untitled, 2003."
I picked this photograph mainly because it wasn't just a photograph. When I take photos I often try to manipulate them to enhance the idea I was originally trying to show in a photograph or to warp it into my own contrasting usage. I enjoy making images come together fluidly to produce a completely new feeling and had experience with Photoshop before photography. This photograph/digital art has that same concept of merging pictures that I like to use. The water ripples cupped within the hands provide an easy focus point while the light on the landscape in the background holds a force of its own that draws a viewers' eyes. The lighting on the hands doesn't match the light from the back directionally but its intensity is very similar and that really helps the picture maintain a healthy balance. Different pieces of this photograph could stand by themselves and be decent alone but the combination creates an interesting compilation that is very pleasing to the eye.
