Domesticated Flowers Poster

I made this private today, but after thinking it over I decided to keep it public, an experiment, even failed is worth while.

 

My grandfather passed away when I was 10. However out of all the memories I have of him the strongest are him reading National Geographic Magazine, I remember the beautiful photos, and the fascinating Pullout posters. I was always most interested in the posters about space, astronomy and spacecraft. There were also posters of birds and flowers and plants and other great subjects. Of course having curious grandkids those posters tended to get torn up and scratched and torn. I think I was inspired by those memories when I put this together.

 

I started taking pictures (poorly) in highschool when I had the opportunity to take a photography class, that is no longer offered for today's students. I bought a 35mm SLR a few years ago and have taken photos off and on with that camera and some vintage cameras (my yashica mat I love!) I only bought a digital a few weeks ago really. So I have been doing a lot of playing with photoshop, I have been experimenting and some have not been successful! But that is of course how experimenting works. Consider this an Artistic Experiment. An Attempt to create something that looks like something that has some personal meaning to me. Not inherently as great photography. (ill get back to normal photos soon!)

 

Thanks for the great responses on the previous photo. if it wasn't for those this one wouldn't exist! I hope you all enjoy it.
