when i go on a foto rampage, i go on a Foto Rampage. at times as many as 20 different images of one subject…cuz, hey, digital 2 gig memory card means no money spent on film. then i flush them through the grimace and toss ‘em grinder (too grainy, too fuzzy, too dark, too off-center). by the time it’s sitting among photoshop palettes, i’ve often lost about two-thirds of the initial excitement and confidence for the image. more often than not, i do a mental toss of my finished walls into the ew, crap pile.
then i’ll get some sorta feedback from various sites online and be amazed that my endless roundabouts with layers and the color dialogue actually produces a somewhat pleasing visual. people really do surprise me sometimes.
