Welcome To My Blog

This blog supports my digital photography class at San Joaquin Delta College. Here I combine two passions - photography and motorcycles with most photos involving a motorcycle in some way ( either as a subject or as transportation).

Field Trip to UoP

Today we viewed the work of Daniel Kasser titled, "Western Technosites," an interesting collection of digital photo collages. He would superimpose close-ups of small objects such as nuts, nails, sprinkler heads, etc and marry them, by pasting, on landscapes. The large prints were displayed on a neutral gray wall, suspended by matching clear plastic push pins and black binder clips. I liked the presentation (industrial) and his concept of superpostion of small scale objects on landscapes. Unfortunately, upon close inspection you can identify the pasted images and in some cases the landscape images were blurry around the edges of the picture. The blurry edges seem to be due to the initial exposure, and the hard edges on pasted elements are a product of the software. Perhaps there is a way to blur the edges of the pasted image....
