It started when my wife and I were following my brother to his place from a wedding. After looking through some photos I got bored and snapped some shots of his car. As you can see, not the most exciting picture in the world.
But what if I could make it into the most exciting picture in the world? With the power of Photoshop, anything is possible.
These images all come from source photos I took in the town of Delaware, Ohio.
These pieces were completed Jan-Feb 2001, my senior year at OWU. For source material I used photographs I’ve taken over the years in Brecksville Reservation, part of the Cleveland Metroparks and the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Many of these were attempts to reconcile stone textures with water surfaces, though I also played with colors to try to make them more satisfying on their own.
