stack (otp168)

This week’s OTP assignment was stack. Given our girl’s recent development, I thought it would be a slam dunk since she now does actually stack stuff instead of running around and knocking things over. By was I wrong. Given the indoor light, I was running the shutter slow and just had a bad run of manual focusing last night. But in the end I was able to get two decent images, but only by going black and white and totally cranking on the contrast.

This second photo was also heavily cropped. Playing with these images brought back memories of my first architecture studio, ED11a with Joe Slusky and Chip Sullivan. It wasn’t really even an architecture studio but a drawing and visual studies class and we started with a lot of abstract studies which these photos start veering towards when you push and pull on them so hard in the computer.
