The first Picture is a Flower. The picture came from a set of 25 which were all different angles and view points of the flower. I started with a full color image and changed it to gray scale. Made the contrast greater and the clarity as well. Added darkness to draw your attention to the flower's tecture.
The second picture is of a wheel. The wheel is part of a lounge chair. The original picture consisted of a tan colored metal lounge on a red stained wooded deck. I removed the color and made the details of the wood and the wheel stand out.
The third picture is of a pile of rocks. The rocks are naturally layered on one another with bits of soil and grass peaking through. The original color scheme was a gray neutral scheme including the soil and grass. I made the tecture of the stone stand out and tried to darken the back ground area so that the main focus was the stone and its tecture.

questioneer
A world without photography would be strange... I almost feel like we would be in a world without advancements in any region of technology. Almost all of our technologies are related to photography.
The word photography means art via photo... only in photography can a simple leaf be transformed into a masterpiece... photography is what everyone aspires to be, something simple that is portrayed beautiful and classy.
I definitely agree with the quote "Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be" soley because photography can hightlight and deminish qualities in whatever is captured at the time. This being said only reminds me of the quote "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
"If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera" is completely a statement that holds true to myself. The proof lies in history in my opinion. Ancient community drew their stories and the histories because a visual is so much profound than words. If Im not mistaken the truth of the matter also is that people learn and retain better through pictures and images than words.
