Making Beauty More Beautiful

These are images that I have altered to increase their beauty. All the changes are minor, all that are included in the most basic of photograph-changing programs. I do this because the images can be enhanced so much by simple changes, so much more than by huge alterations.




These are two alterations of the same images, trying to see which would look better. I'm not sure myself. I like them both.

The Beauty That Comes Out Of Design

For a 2-D design class I am taking, I had to take photographs of "architecture" for a photo-montage, though I didn't exactly follow the guidelines. I took photographs of all made-made objects and abstracted them with high contrast and different brightnesses, but it still isn't exactly what I needed for the assignment. But these are some of the images I took (I took over 100 photographs) and messed with a little bit. I really like the capabilities of this computer for allowing me to still have the feel of black and white 35mm photography with the ease of digital.

Crépuscule Beau

Yet another beautiful sunset here at Oswego. I haven't had much time to go and take pictures, but when I do, I make the most of it.

I really like how the clouds enhance the colors in the sky. Everything looks so soft, as fragile as cotton candy.
