MIXED MEDIA ART PROJECT

"REPLENISH"
Mixed Media Collage by Rebecca Bridges

What a relaxing day it has been! I put the finishing touches on a piece I have been working on for the art show. It is a mixed media paper mache/collage/with dry floral material. It looks so much neater in real life, but I kinda like the photographed version as well!

This week in my photo class, we have been talking about black and white film and using filters with the available outdoor lighting. I got to bring home a yellow green filter which should really add some depth to the outdoor portraits I plan to take. I am also going to try it out on a bunch of other stuff just to see what happens. We did try the filter on a digital camera, but on auto white balance, the camera automatically adjusts itself and cancels out the filter. They have really thought of everything in this digital age eh?!!

I like it alot! It sounds like you're having lots of fun. That's great! Someday I'm gonna get gadgets for my little point & shoot to try to get some pics I really want. (Can't get a nice photo of the moon to save my life!) I doubt I'll have the patience to really learn how to use the equipment, I'll probably just end up playing with it until I get the images I want. :) Not @ all professional like you!
