Their memories of this walk will be more vivid than reality.
Motivation (problem)
I am interested in expressing motion or the passing of time in single images without necessarily defaulting to blurred images. The original idea was a Harris shutter effect study of waves at the beach. On this occasion, however, the haze, lack of clouds, and mid-day photography (no shadows / highlights) all contributed to a drab palette and uninspired background. People occasionally wandered through my vista, providing interesting subjects, but any single frame would look best as a candid portrait with the beach, ocean, and sky cropped away. This series of images did not afford a Harris shutter effect image to my liking. I tried cloning people from successive images, but this also did little to improve the situation.
A Solution
After all of this, I liked the clipping mask best of all - without the background (see image 2). I decided to try it in the context of the image to see whether there was anything to be gained (see image 3). That image has a weak foreground image on a strong black background - which is distracting to me. the best approach seemed to be: let the background be weak but compensate with a strong foreground image. Replacing the people with black figures accomplished this but seemed as sterile as the clipping mask. The I recalled Magritte's image "Die Grosse Familie", depicting the cloudy sky in an outline of a bird. From there the issue became one of finding an appropriate cloudy sky image to overpower the background without obscuring the outlines of the figures.

This approach was likely inspired by Grant Morrison's re-imagining of the scissormen in Doom Patrol.

The research team is hosting charrettes (facilitated community planning sessions) in New Baltimore, Au Gres, Ontonagon and Pentwater. The communities will undergo a six-month engagement process with the research team. The research team will identify strategies to improve economic, social and environmental sustainability of Michigan’s harbor communities.

This is a photo of a statue raising a cross-hilted dagger near the Philadelphia, PA art institute. It was beginning to rain, so I didn't get to see the artist. Because it was a gray fall day I opted for a low-key image that is ambiguous but passionate. "The same place, the other photographer" group invites us to think about compositional choices. Flickr user dcsaint pictured the statue in the context of the museum grounds on a spring day:

How this was made: Three frames separated by 1 EV were taken but the sky was overexposed, coming out flat and uninteresting in all of them. I took one color layer from each and combined them into this image - effectively making the blue layer +1 EV, green +0 EV, and red -1 EV. This is a blue filtered contre-jour, if you prefer.

The handmade paper that students created was used as the primary material in fabricating their final art and design projects. Jiseon Byun twisted coils of paper into string which she then knitted into a scarf.

There are several images on Flickr of the Philadelphia Bourse from ground level, but none from a higher vantage. This emphasizes details near the roof line, often overlooked from below. Desaturation might strengthen this image by emphasizing the perpendicular linear themes of the windows.
