Recreating Reality & Finding Interest

For my digital photography class, I had to create a composite image by editing myself into another image. I chose to do a kind of self portrait by taking a photograph of my hands and editing myself into those hands. Here is the result. It took me quite a while and I am glad to be finished with it. I don't like spending multiple hours straight staring into a computer screen.
A while ago, like when there was still snow on the ground and the semester was just beginning, I was working on my first exercise for my photography class and I had to photograph a "Space" and create a unified collection of five images. Well, here are a few that I took that did not make the cut, but I still thought were interesting. The first three were from my redo at the Great Northeastern Whiteout, a collection of vintage snowmobilers, meeting together to find parts and show off their finished pieces. The last two were from the original attempt at the project in Zach's barn. There is so much interesting stuff to find in there. He was shaking his head at me because he couldn't understand what I was looking at. It is all junk in his eyes and he cannot look at it in a photographic light. Good thing I wasn't raised around it all.
