Our task for this assignment was to shoot 2 images, each with a companion altered image. I shot a lot of potential images and finally settled on two that seemed to offer a contrast in moods.
American Siesta
My first original image, a cozy inviting study of my bed, is amassed with pillows and a colorful throw blanket. In the foreground is a book for reading with my glasses cast off to the side. It is a shot with warm lighting and tones. The altered image of this set, captioned American Siesta, includes the superimposed nude subject from the cover of the book on the bed, Insatiable by Gael Greene.
Innocence in the Garden of Good and Evil

The second original image is shot one bright and clear afternoon in the garden of a local art gallery. There are statues and brass pieces about the garden, and I selected a brass statue of a young girl with a large gazebo in the background. In the altered photo, the caption, Innocence in the Garden of Good and Evil depicts the young girl possessed with the garden’s bad omen. I wasn’t able to manipulate the image the way I would have liked, it was less than stellar.
In class it was agreed that the first set, American Siesta, is my best. The original image in the second set, Innocence in the Garden of Good and Evil has issues with focus and clarity; the manipulated image is actually clearer than the original.
