"Transparency of Light and Time"
art created from my photoes
Sometimes I create challenges for myself. I have a folder with photos that are "mistakes." They are blurred or just terrible photos, or perhaps the color is off. I decided to see what I could do by combining three of those images. I looked at the tiny icons of these photos and chose three that looked rather abstract, although when I opened them, they were not.
The photos I chose were three ball jars on my kitchen window sill (transparency.) A circular fluorescent light fixture above my kitchen sink (light.) And a clock (time.) The title came from those images. You can see hints of all the elements of the original photos.
I used Topaz software to simplify the images so they were more abstract. In Photoshop, I adjusted colors, repeated them, overlapped them several times in various modes, (vivid light, difference, pin light, etc.) moved them into various positions, and erased some parts so that layers underneath showed through.
