Deconstructive Immersion

[PlanetStarbucks]

I was playing around with some photographs I had that I had, when this series came to me. Essentially, they're all just crops of much bigger impacts. I was trying to find a way of showing the action of the impact without showing the whole thing. You know...focus on the most intense parts. To be honest, I'm not really sure what to think. At times I'm mesmerized by the violence, and at others overwhelmed by it. Too confusing? or is that a good thing?

Nice, good set!

I enjoyed #4 the most. It really held me, and made me explore it.

 

[Jaemie]

All very nice. I especially like the dynamics in #2.

Funny, I opened this thread while listening to Björk's Cry Me A River which seems very appropriate:

Jaemie, have you watched "Dancer in the Dark"?

Jaemie, have you watched "Dancer in the Dark"?

I haven't seen it. I thought about watching it several years ago, but never got around to it.

#4 looks like a scrotum. A gilded scrotum.

I like them all. I've looked at them several times now.

As for what #4 looks like, I suppose anything a little on the abstract side is just a sort of ink blot ...

Lol, you caught me...it actually is bull scrot...

Actually, 4 was a slight trick. It was a negative before the color was applied. I reduced all of these to ultra high contrast black and white, then colorized them with that blue color.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.
