Am I Blue
by Holly Morris
I initially took a photo with my canon dslr and inverted it with photoshop. Then I painstakingly turned the background black and white (infrared I think)...I have an old version and I have found that on the newer one(s) I can't do this. But that could've also been b/c the school had macs and I use pc...who knows

1 commentsWhat I like about it is the intention; it clearly is not a "snapshot" but rather an image someone whated to make look this way on purpose. As you say, a painstaking process.
What I will say is that my appreciation of it is that; that committment and purpose you had in making and presenting it.
You know, I think that is the most important part of all of this. There is no objective, ultimate standard of visual beauty or acceptability.
What I see in this image is the labor of love that went into it to express a perception that you had of this flower. That is very impressive to me. And seeing something like this make me so happy to be a fellow photographer.
Thanks so much for posting this!
