Just added a new portfolio of 12 images under the Galleries tab.
Here are three, to give you an idea. The message should be quite clear, I would think.
The Trump Collection, #1 (Vagitarian). Boulder, Colorado, 2016
The Trump Collection, #7 (Interrogator). Boulder, Colorado, 2016
The Trump Collection, #10 (Savior). Boulder, Colorado, 2016
The difficult part with these photographs is deciding which images should be layered together, then finding the “just right” placement of one over the other.
Most of these pictures came from files that were originally quite small (some were from my iPhone). I ran them through Topaz Impression to give them an effect I liked in addition to converting them to black and white. I have them currently sized at 18″ x 12″ but they could probably go to 30″ x 20″ quite easily.
I mention this somewhat technical information because it seems that many photographers get caught up in squeezing out maximum sharpness from their 24 to 36 to 50 megapixel super-machines when sometimes it isn’t really necessary. Yes, for a classic landscape, you likely do want that sharpness. But, if there is a specific concept in play that involves social or political commentary or story-telling, then the compositional elements and whether they are successful in communicating with the viewer are way more important than high definition and pixel resolution.
