Post XIV

I am done making prints for my project. The prints still came out blue-ish no matter what I did to them, but they still look great and I am very excited to display them. I am not going to post all of my photos on here because I believe I have 44 total and that is a lot to post. I will however post a picture of the installation when it is installed.

I also figured out a name for my project; Desolation. This word embodies everything my project is about and I couldn't be happier about figuring out the name.
The definition of Desolation is as follows:
des·o·la·tion
ˌdesəˈlāSH(ə)n/
noun
noun: desolation
  1. a state of complete emptiness or destruction.
    "the stony desolation of the desert"
    synonyms:bleakness, starkness, barrenness, sterility;
    wildness; 
    isolationloneliness, remoteness


    • anguished misery or loneliness.
      "in choked desolation, she watched him leave"
      synonyms:miserysadnessunhappinessdespondencysorrowdepressiongrief,woe
      broken-heartedness, wretchedness, dejectiondevastation,despairanguishdistress








      Here are some more of the final images from Desolation. I am so excited to install this.
    • Oh, I also had to get different pins, so they are't going to be as obvious, which I am a bit bummed out about, however, I think they will still work nicely.

Some final selectiions:






I am starting to contemplate a project name. I will have to think up something to perfectly explain what I want to, summed up into one word... maybe two. =)

I am in the mode of selecting which images will make the final cut and which ones will not. I may even shoot one last image. I am toying with the idea of putting a picture that represent me and who I am in it and that will be the image that is not in with the other images. It will be separate in more than one way. I was thinking I would try to make the image of me slightly blurred and out of focus with a very soft lighting. I am going to experiment with a tip I found on Pinterest that gives you a soft romantic lighting to it. Or in my way of using it, an intimate lighting.

Again, I am just toying with the idea, I think I will shoot tomorrow. I will bring it to the final critique hopefully to get everyones opinion on it.

It may only be a more intimate item of mine that represents me. But I want it to be set apart in way that it is actually set apart, but also set apart because of what the content of the picture is. I may take a picture of my bedroom window or my favorite necklace or a collection of personal belongings. I haven't quite figured that out yet. I am going to run with it though!

Here are some of the images I shot awhile ago:
